Congress Has Set Out A Bill To Stop The FCC Taking Away Our Internet. PLEASE SPREAD THIS AS MUCH AS YOU

High School Walkouts

On March 14 at 10 am students and teachers will be walking out for 17 minutes to honor the 17 lives lost in the Florida school shooting.

There will be another walkout on April 20, marking 19 years after the Columbine shooting and 19 years of nothing changing. (petition)

I tried to keep this as short and simple as I could but I’m a small account and I haven’t seen any posts on my dash about this so please, please, please spread this. Don’t let this go unrecognized. We need to be heard.

Did you get my Harley Quinn One-Shot? If not I can send it again

Hey! I did get your request. I'm sorry I haven't been active for a while, just a lot of school stuff. Thanks for being so awesome!

Love You Too, Spangles.

Can i request a one shot for Steve where Peggy comes back all better to see Steve again. And Steve spends all his time with her now and never with you anymore. You get mad and think something might be happening with them again and his feelings will come back. But your a master assassin and have nothing to be jealous of but you can’t help it because of the way Steve looks at Peggy. But you don’t realize he loves you more now your his girl now. THANKS Announcement: Sorry I keep dropping off the radar. I don’t mean to. I hope you all enjoy this though! I love you all :-) Warnings: None :Blah: = Text message

There was no sound except the ticking of the clock in the corner of the room. You sighed out heavily and turned the tv on. After a few minutes of flipping through channels and being thoroughly dissatisfied you switched off the television. Huffing out another deep sigh you leaned over and grabbed your phone off of the coffee table. You unlocked it and opened up the messages, clicking on Steve’s name.

You quickly typed out a quick message, :Hey babe. Wanna do something? I’m bored. There’s that new movie you wanted to see at the theatre, and we could grab some dinner at that new Chinese place. You can pick :-):

You leaned back into your seat as you waited for a reply. After a few minutes you heard your phone beep and quickly picked it up and read the message.

:Sorry, I can’t. Not tonight. I’m with Peggy right now. I was going to stay a while longer, could you get dinner? Don’t wait up for me.:

You stared down at the message. You sent back a half-hearted ‘ok’ and tossed your phone onto the couch. You sighed, except this time it was out of sadness, and not boredom. This had been a regular occurrence lately. Steve leaving for hours at a time to go spend time with Peggy. Ever since she had started getting better, started remembering things again, he had started spending more and more with her. You knew that you shouldn’t be jealous, but you couldn’t get the thought that there was still something between them. You had seen the way he looked at her, even after all of these years.

You chuckled coldly at yourself. You were an assassin for goodness sake, you had a thick skin, you shouldn’t be acting so jealous and childish. You really didn’t have anything to worry about. Steve wasn’t the kind of person to just turn his back on someone that he loved. Or at least you hoped that he did. Neither of you had actually said it out loud, but you knew there was definitely something between the two of you.

You shook your head, pushing those thoughts out of your mind for the time being. You grabbed your phone and hopped up off of the couch. Grabbing your jacket you headed outside, thinking about what you wanted for dinner.

—-

A few hours later, after you had eaten your dinner of sweet and sour chicken and rice and watched a movie, you heard the door open quietly. You had been dozing off but when you heard the lock being undone you forced yourself up into a sitting position. Steve came in, trying to be as quiet as possible since it was a late hour. But since you didn’t have work tomorrow, you decided to try and stay up until he came home. After he closed the door he turned back around and saw your head peaking up behind the couch.

“Oh, Y/N, I thought you would have been asleep by now,” he said, looking a little guilty.

“Nah,” you replied, “ I wanted to see you. How was your visit?”

He came over and hopped on the couch next to you, “It was ok. Peggy is still getting better. Sorry it took so long, did you eat?”

“Oh, yeah. I got you some in case you needed food once you got home. It might need to be heated up though.”

He said thank you and kissed you on the forehead. After he got his food he joined you back on the couch. He noticed your troubled look and put the food down.

“Are you ok?” He asked.

You looked up and him and sighed, “It’s nothing, I’m fine.”

He furrowed his eyebrows, “No, you’re not. I know that face, what’s wrong?”

You turned to face him, “It’s just that, well… I’m just kind of getting to maybe be a little bit jealous of you and Peggy cause you’re spending a lot of time over there now. I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help but feel a little left out. And, I have to ask, but, are you… Do you still love her?”

He looked at you with a shocked expression but after a moment he started, “Y/N, maybe I did at one time, but now? Now I have you. I’m sorry that I’ve been making you feel left out, I haven’t meant to, it’s just that she is one the only people from my past besides Bucky, and he’s still not himself yet. I’m sorry that I haven’t been here lately, but…” He paused for a moment, looking for the right words to say, “I love you, Y/N, and only you. You make me feel something that I haven’t felt in a really long time. You are one of the most beautiful, funny, smart, and brave people I know, and I would never mean to hurt you on purpose. I’m sorry.”

You looked at him as he spoke, tears stinging your eyes as he went on. Once he was finished you saw in his eyes that he really meant it. Smiling, you hugged him, not caring that your shirt was getting soy sauce on it from Steve’s dinner. He hugged you back and you both sat like that for a moment.

After a while you let him go and fell back onto your side of the couch, “I’m sorry that I ever doubted you, it was stupid.”

He picked up his dinner and resumed eating, “You are the farthest thing from stupid, and it’s ok.”

You shut your eyes, listening to the tv in the background, the movie still playing, “Oh, one more thing.”

He quickly slurped up his noodles and looked over at you, causing you to smile at his chipmunk cheeks filled with food.

“I love you too, Spangles.”

I am so sorry!

I know I haven’t posted in a long time and I’m really sorry about that. I’ve just had a lot of homework and school but I promise I’ll be better about it and I even have a few things in the works! Thanks everyone, you guys really are the best!

US green card: Don’t leave!

If you are living in the U.S. and if you hold anything other than a U.S. passport – this includes if you hold a green card – do not leave the U.S. right now. Period. People with legitimate green cards are being refused entry at the borders. People who were unfortunate enough to be travelling at the time Trump (spit) issued his order can’t get back home. Students with student visas are not being allowed to return to class. Homeland Security has confirmed this. It looks like Trump’s order is illegal according to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. That doesn’t matter right now; any court challenge will take time. Stay in the U.S. until this is resolved. And I apologize to you. This is appalling.

Cheese Ball

Can I have a Zach Mitchell imagine when he takes me somewhere romantic for my birthday please? Announcements: I hope this is what you wanted! I hope you enjoy and Happy Birthday!!! :-) Warnings: None

Today is going to be a great day. It was your birthday and nothing could bring you down, especially since your boyfriend, Zach, was coming over and said he had the entire day mapped out. You didn’t know what he had planned, but you were happy just because you would get to spend the day with him. The two of you met at the theme park, Jurassic World, on the unfortunate day Mother Earth decided to show the world, once again, who was boss. He had given you his phone number and, miraculously, the two of you lived relatively close. You were suddenly pulled out of your memories by a knock on the front door. You looked at yourself in the mirror one last time, straightened out your clothes, and headed out of your room. Smiling, you bounced over and opened the door to see Zach standing on the front porch. He looked up at you as soon as the door opened and out came his thousand watt smile.

“Hey, Y/N,” he said, pulling out a small bouquet of flowers behind his back, “Happy Birthday!”

Stepping out and closing the door behind you, you took the flowers and looked at Zach, a smile on your lips, “Thanks, Zach, this really means a lot to me.”

You pulled him into a tight hug, careful not to crush the flowers, “Of course! And this isn’t even the best part,” he pulled back and led you toward his car. “I have the whole day planned. Lunch - there’s that new restaurant you wanted to check out - then I thought we could do a movie, maybe some shopping, anything you want to do, we could do. It’s your special day.”

So, that’s exactly what the two of you did. Lunch was amazing, Zach apparently told the staff it was your birthday and soon they came out and sang, all while he smiled and took numerous photos.

“That’s my Y/N,” he had said, “They might be another year older but they don’t look a day over 80!”

You playfully looked offended and tossed a breadstick at his face, “You total dork.”

The movie was great as well, snuggling into your boyfriends arms, the two of you completely entranced and at peace. The shopping was nice as well, you even took some photo booth pictures, making faces at the camera while laughing and trying to outdo eachtother. You couldn’t ask for a better day.

Currently the two of you were leaning against each other, taking a nice stroll through the park, watching the sun slowly sink behind the earth. Your hands were intertwined and nothing in the world could pull you out of your calm trance. Well, maybe dinosaurs, but that was for another day. Soon a pond came into sight and gently, Zach led you over the hill and to the waterfront. As soon as it came into view, you almost stopped and gasped.

Near the waterfront, someone, probably Zach, you thought, had set a small blanket on the ground, a picnic basket sitting in the center. You looked over at your boyfriend, who was smiling brightly at you, glad that you liked his handiwork.

“Oh, Zach, it’s wonderful!”

He chuckled before saying, “Like I said, it’s your special day and I would do anything to keep that smile on your face. I, uh, I hope it’s not too cheesy, I mean I know that-”

You quickly cut him off by placing a small kiss on his lips. The two of you stood there, completely quiet, before you stepped away again, “Zach Mitchell, this is the most lovely thing in the world. Today was amazing and of course it’s cheesy, you are, in fact, a major cheese ball. But, you know what? You’re my cheese ball. So are you going to stand there, or are you gonna help me eat my birthday dinner?”

You walked over and sat down on the fuzzy blanket, not noticing he was shaking his head, looking at you with love in his eyes. Soon he regained consciousness and sat down next to you, “So, you do like it?”

You chuckled and looked over at him, “Of course I like it, cheese ball.”

“Am I really that cheesy?”

Leaning over, you kissed him after every word to emphasize your point, “One hundred percent. All. American. Cheesy goodness.”

The two of you laughed and started eating dinner, which, you must say, wasn’t half bad. There was much talk about the simple things of life as you just enjoyed each other’s company. Soon, after you were finished eating, some candles were broken out and, carefully, as to not set yourselves on fire, you lied down next to one another and gazed up at the stars, continuing your conversation, occasionally being interrupted by one of you pointing out a constellation.

Looking over, you saw Zach looking up at the sky while still talking about the morality of dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets when you realized something. You loved him. You smiled and thought about how you never wanted to leave this one moment in time, hoping you could both just stay star gazing for the rest of time. You realized that he really was your cheese ball, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today really was a great day, you thought, smiling to yourself, an absolutely amazing day.

Definitely some Jurassic world imagines !!!! Please and thank you 😊

Go ahead and request a specific Imagine and I'll do it! Jurassic World was awesome and I would love to do some! Thanks!

This isn’t art-related, but this is EXTREMELY SERIOUS IF YOU LIVE IN THE US.  The following message is pasted from Reddit user DrDreamtime. I did not write this, but it contains all the most important information you should know. It should be spread as far and wide as possible.

For those that do not know or understand what net neutrality is and would rather see a video instead of a LOT of text, here is a good video by John Oliver on Net Neutrality.

Don’t want to do that? Understandable, it’s a 15 minute video. So heres a simple picture to highlight what things could look like

Please take the time to at least do the first easy step, either of the two options work and take very little time.

If this fails, the possibility of actually having to pay more to access reddit, facebook, and any other website or face massive loading speed increases or even a straight out site-block by your ISP.

Tell him how you feel.

Ajit Pai, FCC Chairman: 1-202-418-1000

Reddit won’t let me post the rest of the FCC contact information, something with the formatting and the automod, I think. You can click here, to go to the FCC’s official contact page.

You need to contact your representatives and senators about Net Neutrality even if they already support it, but especially if they don’t.

Remember that this very thread is only possible because of a free and open internet; kill net neutrality and threads like this might be a thing of the past.

Easy way:

Step 1: Go to BattleForTheNet.com. Step 2: Do what BattleForTheNet.com tells you to do.

-OR-

Text RESIST to 50409 to get help from RESIST Bot. It helps you find your reps, write letters to them, and sends them faxes FOR FREE. Everyone who cares about Net Neutrality should take 5 minutes to write to your representatives, once a week (or a day). Be heard.

The harder, but still very easy way:

Step 1: Find out who your Representative and Senator is/are.

Find your Representative.

Find your Senator.

Local elected officials.

Step 2: Find your Representative and Senator’s contact information.

5calls.org has a decent repository of Representatives and Senators contact information, though the site is a bit difficult to navigate.

Call My Congress just asks for your zip code and tells you what district you live in, who your Representatives are, and how to contact them.

DailyKos has a list of all of our Senator’s phone numbers, not just the DC office. (Current as of February, 2017.)

FaxZero has a system set up allowing you to fax your Representatives and Senators for free! (Faxes are good if you can’t get through on the phone lines, or just if you want congressional staffers to listen to fax machine noises until Net Neutrality is safe.)

Fax Congress

Fax Senators

Step 3: Call, write, or fax to express your feelings on this.

A lot of people are nervous about calling their elected officials for the first time, maybe you don’t know what to say, or how to say it, or even who you’ll be talking to, so here’s what you’ll need to know.

There’s a 75% chance your call will be answered by a Secretary who is specifically there to listen to your concerns, there’s a 25% chance your call will be bumped into a voicemail box which is specifically there to listen to your concerns, there is a ~0% chance you’ll find yourself on the phone with your Senator or Representative.

You may be asked for your name and address or zip code, it’s okay not to tell them if you don’t want to, but the information is useful for your elected officials. I usually just give my first name, zip code, and the name of my town.

Don’t worry about a script, don’t worry about being eloquent, you’re not writing Shakespeare here, you’re a concerned citizen voicing their frustrations, fears, and hopes. “I’m really scared of Ajit Pai’s plans to roll back net neutrality, a free and open internet is important to me because [Your reason here. Some suggestions: An open internet is important to democracy/I worry what Donald Trump might do with more power/Cable bills are already too high/etc.]. Please tell [Senator or Representative] that I support a free and open internet, I support Net Neutrality, and I vote.” The only hard and fast rule is that you need to be polite; these folks are getting dozens, if not hundreds of calls a day, they don’t need you bitching and swearing at them for something they have no control over. Be passionate, but be polite.

Reminder: Only call YOUR OWN elected officials! Calling Mitch McConnell from sunny Florida won’t do anyone any good, and might actually harm the cause. Only call your own elected officials, period.

“Keeping the internet open is critical for us. It powers social movements, and provides a global platform for people of color, LGBTQ folks and the most marginalized communities to tell their own stories, run their own businesses and route around powerful gatekeepers.”—Candace Clement, Free Press Action Fund Campaign Director via @fight4future​

Starting today, June 11, U.S. internet providers will be legally allowed to censor and block websites and apps, and force you to pay extra fees to to access your favorite places online. Your internet sanctuaries, the communities you are part of, the ones you have help build up, could be decimated.

Will it happen today? No. Next week? Probably not. The changes will not be swift. They will come piece by piece. A slow, tempered death to the free and open internet we love.

It doesn’t have to be this way. You can still make a difference, Tumblr. We need the House of Representatives to sign a discharge petition in support of the Congressional Review Act that would force a vote on the floor.

Contact your reps—let them know you support net neutrality.

It’s so easy. Just go to BattleForTheNet.com, fill out the form, and follow their directions from there.

They have an updated widget for you to throw on your websites to urge others to make a difference. You can put it on your Tumblr. Let your followers know what you stand for, encourage them to do the same. It’s so easy to do. Just copy and paste their small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

Go, go, go, go. We know you have that passion in you. We’re fighting right alongside you.

I love your new header

Oh, thank you very much! I decided I needed more Space in my life cause its really cool :-)
