today is Nov. 15. the FCC, under chairman Ajit Pai, will not listen to the public despite millions of comments in support of net neutrality. They are going to try their hardest to kill net neutrality, which in turn will kill the internet, which in turn will help eradicate democracy. it won’t just affect Americans, it has the potential to affect the entire internet, something we ALL use daily. you can bet your ass other countries will see america doing this, and use it as an excuse to do it in their own countries.
this is what buying a plan without net neutrality looks like there:
you have to pay MORE for features you’re already guaranteed to have under net neutrality. and in america, you already know how expensive everything is.
democrats AND republicans both want net neutrality. advocacy groups in touch with congress have said that if your members of congress receive calls from you, they are more encouraged and more likely to take action to stop Pai’s plan to gut net neutrality. after Nov. 22, it will be MUCH HARDER to convince your member of congress.
hey guys, please reblog this version and don’t forget to call!!! if you are nervous about calling, you can use resistbot to send faxes to your reps and thestance appto pre-record your message so you won’t have to speak to anyone. (available in both google play and app store)
Reblogging this for the addition of Resistbot and Stance. I just tried out Resistbot, and it makes things SUPER easy – it adds the “dear (name of congressperson)” and “sincerely (your name)” automatically, so you just need to say what you want to say.
first day of college in media: “Please open up your textbooks to chapter three because I expect you to have already read the first two chapters in preparation for starting this class”
first day of college in reality: “We’re going to spend the next hour slowly and thoroughly going over every page of the syllabus because I strongly suspect at least half of you assholes don’t actually know how to read”
November is recognized as American Diabetes Month. According
to the Center for Disease Control, more than 30 million Americans suffer from
diabetes.
Diabetes is affected by many factors, but how is it affected
by gestational
hypertension? Researchers Kuller and Catov believe that further
exploration is needed into various risk factors such as stress and
obesity; researchers Pace and Dasgupta agree, and believe that “now is the
time for action.” An essential part of this is “engagement of
mothers, fathers, and clinicians before, during, and after pregnancy.”
jackymedan said: how much longer would you have to wait for the ground floor one? I totally understand why you’d rather live there considering all the reasons you just listed.. sorry to hear people around you aren’t taking your concerns seriously *hugs* <3
I’d have to wait to mid-December. I’ve decided that there are some pros to living upstairs. I talked to my mom today and she actually listened to my concerns and gave me some suggestions on how to sort of deal with them (like asking the complex if they have any plans for upstairs tenants in the event of a weather emergency.) She’s also going to look into movers so getting my stuff up there won’t be as much of a pain. Â
At this point, I think I just need to get into my own place, so I may take the upstairs apartment after all. That way I’ll be able to get my dog back and have my independence back.Â
drop whatever you’re doing right now and climb a tree

I’ve literally never seen this post on my dash when it is not after dark and cold as balls. I’m beginning to think this is a conspiracy to get us eaten by some nocturnal tree demon.
