Living the Dream

☞Have you heard of SOPA?
Yes? No? Let me ask you this, instead: Have you heard about China and how their oppressive government has censored their internet so badly that it is practically useless?
SOPA is a bill jetting through congress at this very moment which, if passed, will put us in the same situation as China. The SOPA is intended to give corporations the power to shut down any site that they feel is infringing on their copyrights, or intellectual property.
This especially includes sites like Livejournal, Youtube, DeviantART, Tumblr, Facebook, Google, Twitter… Need I continue?
Any website could be sued or shut down simply for allowing someone to post, say a video of themselves singing a popular song, or posting fan art that they drew. And for anyone who makes fan related jewelry or other items, well, you’d be pretty screwed, too.
If SOPA passes, it will be considered a felonyto stream copyrighted material. 
A felony. So you like to stream sometimes when you draw, so that people can watch, right? And maybe you also like to listen to music while you draw. Simply by having the music playing for others to hear while you stream, you could be charged with a felony. 
Streaming yourself while you play a video game is no different than having some friends over to watch you play. But if you do this, it could be considered a fucking felony.
Think about it.
Murder is a felony. Rape is a felony. 
They want to put innocent people in the same place as murderers and rapists. Why? Because they have nothing better to do with their time, from what I can tell.
They spend so much time overplaying these so-called “crimes,” that people begin to forget the real crimes happening in our county. And the way I see it, SOPA is a crime. 
Freedom of speech. Freedom of expression. Remember the Bill of Rights and all that good junk?
If this bill passes, then we may as well kiss all that goodbye.
What happened to America being the land of the free? When did we become the land of the oppressed and condemned?
And when will people realize that companies exist to serve the people, not the other way around?
Corporations are already given so much unnecessary power over our lives. Do you really want them to have the power to throw you in jail for writing a fan fiction, or singing a song you like on your Youtube channel?
If things continue in this way, there’s no telling how long it’ll be before they have the power to execute anyone they feel deserves it. This is not cool, and it is not kosher.
Fortunately, we can do something about it, but one person cannot stand alone against something this powerful. Everyone needs to become aware of this problem and fight back.
Here are a few ways that you can fight back.
First off, you can sign this petition on change.org: http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-the-internet-control-bill-now
You can also visit this site to send a letter to congress: http://americancensorship.org/
(Don’t worry, you don’t have to write anything yourself unless you want to. All you need is a valid email address and a finger strong enough to click a button.)
Lastly, you can fight back by spreading awareness of this monstrosity. Tell everyone that you can. Make sure everyone knows what kind of consequences there will be if we DON’T fight back. All it takes is a few minutes of your time.
If you’re under 18, have someone older sign the petition. You don’t have to be a specific age to send a letter to congress. 
Just make sure that you do not take this lightly and that you do not ignore this. 
Imagine not even being able to Google something someday. Imagine going to jail simply for being a creative fan and showing your love. 
There are a lot more pressing matters that the government needs to attend to right now. They need to stop wasting their time finding ways to convict innocent people and actually focus on real problems like poverty, education, medical care.
Stay strong and fight back.

the ending. i cant. my stomach dropped.

reblogging cause i have like 10 asks about where it is.

Crying 

this is so sad. i know i don’t usually reblog things like this, but i’d like to take a moment to remember all the people that lost their lives in 9/11. I’d like to remember those who lost their loved ones, co-workers, siblings, husbands, boyfriends, dads, moms. I’d also like to remember those who risked their lives to save them, and those who barely survived…such a tragedy, that day. in remembrance of 9/11, i’m going to think about all i have and all that was lost, the things normal people had to go through because of bad decisions that were made. i’m going to be a kinder person, and hopefully all of you will find it in your hearts to do the same. 

Oh my god.. I got goosebumps..

omfg I’m crying
