Tumble decided to get rid of the only thing that kept ot relevant. I'm deleting both of my accounts soon and leaving this shitshow. Y'all can follow me here:
The internet went from showing food recipe videos to alchemy in less than a decade. Thereâs going to be a quick video on how to make the philosopherâs stone from tomato sauce next week.Â
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. Â It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadnât been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, Iâd have never known. Â I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job Iâve had Iâve had to sign that I wonât discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.Â
âYouâd be surprisedâ, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely âmen canât be rapedâ anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.
Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.
Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.
I can see the real problem here already. Male domestic violence and rape is just invisible in our society because we donât want to talk about this because it just damages the status quo of this fucking website.
Iâm a boy , and when i was younger I was sexually assaulted every damn day for three years by my younger step SISTER, So donât go saying that âboys canât be rapedâ bull shit
I donât want to disappear without a forewarning.
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.Â
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.Â
Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.Â
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.Â
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.Â

This doesnât just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesnât belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell BakerâŠ) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
âAs creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. [âŠ] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.â
Here is the original Article 13. Itâs even scarier. / Link 2Â
Here is how to contact your MEPs.Â
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesnât seem to care.Â
I know this isnât my usual content but THERE WILL BE NONE OF MY USUAL CONTENT IN THE FUTURE IF THIS GOES THROUGH SO PLEASE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION EVERYONE. Article 13 already made it through the first vote and now theyâre taking it to the eu parliament. Everybody make some noise so the MEPs know how to vote in our interest!!
