this year will be better than the last
HUFFLEPUFF: “Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness. A selfless gesture, a moment of reassurance, even the warmth of a single smile, can be enough to save a person. After all, even in the deepest darkness, all it takes is a little light to illumine the way forward.” –Beau Taplin (Little Light)
Why Isn’t Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!

Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed!
- Article 13 just got passed.
- Article 13 just got passed.
I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)
They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!
You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.
If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!
You’d need a license for everything!!!!
And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.
No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!
Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.
Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).
I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!
I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.
I don’t live in Europe but this needs to be spread
I’m spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really can’t imagine how the future would look like.
I don’t live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!
Because they still have to vote for it two more times.. maybe .. that’s why?
All you Americans who are saying “I dont live in europe, but…”
You do understand how the internet *works*, right? You *WILL* feel the backlash from this if things go through the way they are going now.
this needs to be spread. article 13 will effect the world.
This is a common symptom for ppl who are neurodivergent! Autism spectra, ADHS, ADD and other diagnoses usually qualified as “learning disorders” are very tied to communication, the ability to process and deliver information and generalized speech. This is not exclusive for these diagnoses but far more prevalent in them as a baseline. You can get the same effect with heavy fatigue or stress.
You can be very smart and educated and STILL struggle with expressing those thoughts. It doesn’t make you stupid or thoughtless, it means that your brain has difficulties expressing itself. Usually what researchers express is one of the major issues here is working memory. It’s like the buffer state between you thinking it and that information getting to your mouth having a really bad connection and can’t manage big chunks of information, like a slow buffer on a video, so everything comes out garbled. It the same reason you can mess up a sentence by having sounds switch places at the start and end of a sentence.
Generally, it means that making tasks smaller and shorter helps, as well as relaxing. Working memory is tied to a lot of things, from speech and concentration to short term memory and general structuring of tasks. Executive disorders are very much tied to working memory. It really doesn’t mean you’re stupid, but society does equate the ability to be expressive with intelligence. It’s a false equivalence.
