🚨Might be a waste of time posting this, but I'mma do it anyway. Long post incoming.
The internet is our Library of Alexandria.
The internet as we've been using it up to this point has been relatively free to use in terms of what you could do, with very few limitations.
Instant communication around the world, being able to speak with other languages in a back and forth dialogue, content making and sharing, shopping, gaming, information gathering and sharing, a place to learn and so on.
You have the freedom and ability to speak your mind on something and a chance for that something to be seen and heard INSTANTLY.
Should the powers that be decide to change the rules, things as we have now will never be the same.
The list:
-Speaking to someone outside of your country without proper clearance, like a digital passport. Something you will likely have to pay for, should it ever happen.
-Slowed communications. No longer instant for whatever arbitrary reason they decide to give.
-Country gates. You may not even be allowed to visit certain websites outside your country's jurisdiction, without said digital passport.
-Paying for time spent on foreign websites, like long distance calls used to cost money.
-Content making and gathering. If you make something that they deem unsafe, even if it's not, you are subject to their laws—This includes speaking out against an injustice. Or criticizing your government.
-Information gathering, sharing, learning. You may not be allowed easy access to information as you do now.
To wrap it all up. Some of these things sound absurd and you'd be right to say so. But all they have to do is decide that they want more control and we have to live with it.
If you think you are safe because you don't do anything "bad", all they have to do is change what that means and suddenly you're in trouble.
I'm Agnostic, but my parents are Catholic.
They once saw someone on FB go "The rainbow isn't for the gays!" It irritated mom especially, she then turned to me and said.
"God made the rainbow for everyone, there's no issue if the LGBTQ uses it, especially when using it for love"
Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
Mind you, these are both BLACK women too 😭as a black furry myself I cant help but to feel alil skeptical the only reason they're passed is bc theyre felines. I feel like it's ALSO bc they're black too.
I think comparing the trauma of the black experience with the trauma of the woman experience is more harmful to the discussion. While these movies are partially exaggerated, they're still about REAL issues people face and making it a 'who has it worse?' contest is not healthy.
Canon Kya is so in tune with her air nomad heritage she even gets upset when people brush over the fact she is half air nomad. This will the be the last time I speak of this and go on my merry way but this is so damn disrespectful. That’s Aang’s baby.
