Now that I got your attention with this video…
The FCC decided to go ahead with the vote to remove the Net Neutrality rules that the Obama administration set up.
As you can see, this is what the major ISPs wants to do if they have their way. This can do a few things:
Stiff new innovations, making it harder for smaller companies to compete.
Silence independent voices.
Potentially putting up a “walled garden” on a wide scale.
Make distribution of information harder for low-income people.
Imagine this website, if you will, only working on Verizon networks while AT&T customers are charged a little extra, or have slower access to the same information.
Remember, your ISP owns content providers and may give top-shelf, VIP treatment to their own things while stiffing everyone else. We need to address this.
Now, some of you may recall earlier this year that John Oliver and a lot of other people, companies (and yours truly) did a rallying cry to tell the FCC to back off the Net Neutrality rules, which resulted in millions of comments on their proposal.
However, there’s been a few problems… in short, it seems that the FCC chose to not listen due to “inconsistancies”.
Sidenote: Tumblr isn’t the best place to talk “long-form” so if you’re interested in looking at these notes, here are some places to go to.
https://medium.com/@AGSchneiderman/an-open-letter-to-the-fcc-b867a763850a - “ Specifically, for six months my office has been investigating who perpetrated a massive scheme to corrupt the FCC’s notice and comment process through the misuse of enormous numbers of real New Yorkers’ and other Americans’ identities. Such conduct likely violates state law — yet the FCC has refused multiple requests for crucial evidence in its sole possession that is vital to permit that law enforcement investigation to proceed.”

So, what can we do about this?
There are a few things you can do to help slow down this nightmare situation.
1) Make calls to your representatives - https://5calls.org/issue/defend-fcc-net-neutrality - this website will tell you who to call and an easy-to-follow script so that you know exactly what to say.
2) You can support groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU and Free Press who are fighting to keep Net Neutrality:

3) You can add a comment to the proposal using John Oliver’s URL at http://www.gofccyourself.com
4) Write a letter to your representative. Not an email, an actual, snail mail letter.
Let’s all band together and do something about this. Our future of sharing information, building innovation, nurturing voices and creativity depends on your actions now!
I know it may sound hopeless. Look at when they announced this (you probably didn’t know they announced this on Monday when you’re busy getting ready to for the holiday!). But if we say it with one voice to BACK OFF THE NET, we maybe able to make a difference.
attention all Officials, all Tumblr users, whoever the fuck you are.
This is severely important.
Ever sit down after a stressful day, watch your favorite youtuber, do commissions, etc.? Well in FOUR DAYS, that can all be taken away very easily. We’re so close yet so *far* from possibly saving the internet, and those who’s lives depend on it. Within this blog, there will be a link to a petition to stop net neutrality from being killed. There are many people who’s jobs are online. online schooling. the internet is extrememly important, and we can’t let the FCC take it away! Instead of just merely liking this post, sign the petition and reblog this post!
Everyone has already established that 2P Alastor is pure baby, and 2P Husk certainly takes that to heart 💙
2P Husker may be a cheery but he won't hesitate to kill a demon who dares to lay a finger on 2P Al
2P Husk is basically an emotional support for 2P Alastor
When 2P Alastor is "full on" demon, he can be VERY romantic with his favorite bartender and a bunch of fluff ensues
2P Husk does his best to make sure the blueberry is happy and comfortable
(Husk will do lil magic shows/tricks for the shy demon, be a cute kitten just for 2P Alastor to have a smile on his face, etc.)
2P Alastor loves cuddling with the pastel color cat demon
(I got to make some fluff for these two)
2P Husk absolutely spoils his favorite blueberry, whether that be in peppering kisses for him, or simply complimenting him to days end.
2P Alastor gets so fluster when this happens
Another thing that 2P Husker loves about his deer demon 💙
2P Husk is almost always by 2P Alastor side like a sort of personal bodyguard
Well that's all headcanons I have for these two adorable babies! ❤️💙💜
Y'all remember that VERY old RadioHusk animation? I might do a recreation of that and see how far I've exactly improved.
Husk is being a little smug teasy boyfriend
Yassss! òwó
Me and The boys gettin’ any Husk x Alastor content basically
@shadowthefear @rosediamondqueen
I’m trying to watch fautiness stream where she confirms a bunch of cute stuff with Husk but it’s so long and I can’t help but skip every 2 minutes because it’s basically just her drawing...have you seen it ? If so do you exactly remember the time stamp for the questions?
I apologize, but I did not watch the stream since my schedule isn't allowing me to get some free time to watch it... I'm simply going by what many other people who've watched the stream said...
Okay but consider- Baxter x Husk. Just this grumpy old cat-bird-demon-thing having a soft spot for some socially awkward, nerdy anglerfish~ Something about it makes me happy. I'm going to call either catfish shipping or brewery-lab ships.
Their dynamics is interesting for a ship, I'd say it's adorable uwu 💙
Of course! Just gotta color him and we'll have our fusion bois!
So yea…this is fusion… I’m still not sure ‘bout name…and everything else,actually…
Also,yea,me ‘n good friend of mine wrote a couple headcanons for him (As you can see in the first picture). [I know it looks like garbage.I’m barely found strenght to share it :_)]
@shadowthefear ,dude ya gotta see this.
