Let’s take a look at some screenshots of an article I was reading earlier today…
Keyword: was. They don’t support net neutrality anymore. Why you ask? well…
Tumblr is owned by Yahoo. Now that Verizon (a company that hates net neutrality) bought Yahoo, they have demanded that Tumblr must stop supporting net neutrality too. The Tumblr staff has stopped posting about net neutrality.
This site is being forced to hate net neutrality. (article link)
this is why all those net neutrality posts are disappearing from your feeds. don’t let it do so
Keep liking, and mysteriously it keeps dropping.
Tumblr Staff actually posted this today so it looks like they are on our team after all.
They don’t make it easy to find using a desktop. On your mobile to go your profile page, then to the upper right hand corner where the gear is. Tap that and then tap on Global Settings at the top, then go to Dashboard Preferences and it’ll be there that you can flip the switch to turn it off.
Hope that helps!

they probably actually hang outside school as well and sometimes suga joins in too. Their friendship is so great, Daichi is like the older brother Hinata never had . And on the day Daichi graduates he just sobs and Daichi puts his hand on his shoulder and is like it’s not like it’s goodbye forever, obviously we’ll see each other soon!
4.) How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?
I have a couple actually! One is a Tanaka centric fic with angst. At the moment it’s set as a reader fic but I haven’t really worked on it that much lately. I have a few scenes I wrote out so I wouldn’t forget them.
Right now though, the one most rampant in my brain is a Soul Eater x Haikyuu crossover / AU. I want to make the characters of Soul Eater the adults while the HQ guys and gals make up the student body of the DWMA. I will most likely try to create an OC for it as a love interest for Asahi (cause baby ace needs some love) and a pairing between Death the Kid and Tsubaki. I really want to write this but I’m nervous to because Soul Eater has been done for so long and I’m not sure if enough people would be interested. We’ll see, I may still do it for a small fan base and just because I love the idea so much.
I did have an Bleach story I started but haven’t worked on for a long time with a Renji x Orihime pairing where Ichigo offers to marry Rukia so she isn’t forced to marry someone she doesn’t want to. Planned on drama and love triangles but lost steam on it.
I have another Bleach fic I started that is an AU where the main guys are human and the main girls are supernatural creatures. I was also going to incorporate elements of Black Butler and Supernatural as well but again just lost motivation and steam for it so it’s remained untouched for months and months.
14.) What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?
Hmmmmm….interesting question. I honestly can’t think of anything, I mean outside of people just being rude when they don’t agree with something I wrote but that’s more a matter of opinion than giving advice. Truthfully, the advice I’ve sought out usually seems pretty good. The most confusing sometimes is “show not tell” if it’s not explained well or used too extensively and the argument of using “said” versus other descriptive words for speech or expression. Again, mostly a matter of preference I suppose.
18.) Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?
For most of my writing, no but lately I’ve wanted to try outlines so that I can make sure my story is staying on track. I’ve had two times (within the same story actually) where when I didn’t outline where I wanted to go I ended up writing myself into a bit of a corner. In one sense, it was good because it challenged me to write better. But in the other, it left the story open ended for sequel…that I have NO IDEA how to handle. Heh heh. So yeah, if I do this Soul Eater / Haikyuu AU I’ll be making sure to do some outlining.
On that note, is that a story you guys would be interested in reading?
🔥 With your help, we passed Title II net neutrality protections. Now we need to defend it.🔥
On December 14 the FCC will vote on Commissioner Pai’s plan to repeal Title II rules. This week he tried to justify that decision with a “myth busting” explainer where he makes a lot of sweeping claims he doesn’t think you’ll fact check.
So let’s go through his big points:
❌ Mr. Pai claims ISPs won’t block access or throttle content
These are the real facts. Before Title II, the internet was so “free and open” that…
AT&T blocked Skype from iPhones (Fortune) and, later, wanted FaceTime users to pay for a more expensive plan (Freepress).
MetroPCS blocked all streaming video except YouTube (Wired).
In today’s media market where the same huge companies make and deliver content, Commissioner Pai wants us to trust that corporations won’t use their dominance to bury competitive content or services.
❌ Mr. Pai claims Title II keeps ISPs from building new networks
Here’s another claim Commissioner Pai doesn’t want you to fact check, but:
AT&T’s own CEO told investors that the company would deploy more fiber optic networks in 2016 than 2015 when the FCC passed Title II protections (Investor call transcript).
Charter’s CEO said “Title II, it didn’t really hurt us; it hasn’t hurt us” (Ars Technica).
And Comcast actually increased investment in their network by 10% in Q1 of this year (Ars).
❌ Mr. Pai claims repealing Title II won’t hurt competition
As we mentioned above, ISPs tried to interfere with the services their customers could access and courts had to step in to stop them.
The FCC tried to craft net neutrality rules in 2010 called the Open Internet Order but the ISPs sued and won. The courts told the FCC that the only way to guarantee a free and open internet was using their Title II authority. Without those protections, any of these things would be legal:
Your ISP launches a streaming video service and starts throttling other streaming services until they’re unusable.
Your phone company cuts a deal with a popular music streaming service so it doesn’t count towards your data cap but lowers your overall data limit. If a better service comes along (or your favorite artist releases new tracks somewhere else) you can’t use it without incurring huge data fees.
A billionaire buys your ISP and blocks access to news sites that challenge their ideology.
Repealing Title II would be like letting a car company own the roads and banning a competitor from the highways.
❌ Mr. Pai claims there won’t be fast lanes and slow lanes
Let’s break this down: We won’t have fast lanes and slow lanes, we’ll have “priority access” and…non-priority access? Well gosh.
🚨 Please help us protect Title II one more time! 🚨
This week we co-signed a letter with more than 300 other companies—businesses Mr. Pai gleefully ignores—urging the FCC to retain the Title II internet protections. Now we need you.
Go to 👉 Battle For The Net 👈 to start a call with your representatives in Congress. Tell them to publicly support Title II protections.
The FCC votes on December 14.
We’re only powerful when we work together.
Oh, also: that post about automatically unfollowing the #net neutrality tag—it’s not true. It’s really not. That’s not who we are. Whatever happened, we haven’t been able to reproduce it. We tried. A lot.
But if it were true—which it’s not, we feel compelled to say again—THAT’S EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES and demand a free, open, and neutral internet.
We can do this one more time, guys! ❤️
Please, USA citizens click on the link and send a letter or call your reps. Let’s save the internet!
Among the incredibly unexpected things that eventually happen at Karasuno, what is probably the weirdest of them is the strange friendship that develops between Kageyama and Tsukishima.
No one is really sure how it happens. It must have been gradual, evolving by stages maybe, so no one notices until one day Nishinoya points out, “Isn’t it really weird that Kageyama and Tsukishima are sitting together over there and world war three hasn’t started yet?”
Hinata, who is Kageyama’s unquestionable best friend, is more preoccupied with drinking every last drop of his post-practice juice and replies airily, “Yeah, they do that sometimes.”
Ennoshita-san frowns. “They do?”
“Yeah,” Hinata says, “Sometimes they do their you’re-pathetic-NO-YOU’RE-pathetic routine, and sometimes they sit together and… do that. Whatever it is. I’m not exactly sure.”
Basically, at some point Tsukishima and Kageyama subtly went from teammates-with-difficulties to subtly-friends. They yell and argue and fight just about the same they always have, just a lot less often, and sometimes they can be found quietly sharing the same space. If Kageyama forgets his towel and Tsukishima notices, he’ll lend him a spare – something Yamaguchi says is a recent addition to Tsukishima’s packing practices. If Tsukishima is out of tape for his fingers, a new roll will spontaneously appear in front of him – which Hinata says is the most hilarious thing to watch, because Kageyama apparently goes out of his way to pretend he’s not doing it.
More: according to Yamaguchi, if anyone in their class – or anywhere in Tsukishima’s hearing, really – says anything remotely negative about Kageyama, Tsukishima quickly glares them into submission.
And in view of this unexpected revelation, Kageyama’s weird behaviour during the last joint training camp makes a lot more sense – the way he’d hovered around the “3rd gym group”, as they’re called, and how he’d stalked around them looking vaguely threatening. “He was making sure no one was picking on Tsukishima,” Hinata explains, looking utterly unbothered by this extremely exotic behaviour.
“How long has this been going on?” Nishinoya asks, still looking a little scandalized.
“Ehhh. I’m not sure. Hinata?” Yamaguchi sends a questioning look Hinata’s way.
“No clue!” Hinata chirps, and gets up to go get another juice from the vending machine.
“Seriously?” Tanaka’s voice is going a little shrill with the shock. “Yesterday they sounded like they were about to punch each other!”
“Yeah, they do that too sometimes,” Yamaguchi calmly says, to everyone’s shocked stares. He hurries to add, “Oh, they’re not really serious about the arguments anymore. It’s just how they do things. I think they have fun like that.”
There’s a moment of silence, and then Kinoshita voices what is going through everyone’s minds.
When I first started out a little over a year ago, I’d say it was a passion. I would have ideas running through my head all day, jotting down notes and itching to get home to write. I would sit in front of my laptop for HOURS working on my stories. Now, I’d save it’s moved more to a fun hobby, which in a way kind of bums me out but I’m kind of not surprised I got a bit burned out.
19.) Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?
I think the animes I create content for are my muses but really what fuels me is my readers and their words of encouragement and enjoyment of reading my stuff. When the feedback slows down, my muse dries up.
38.) Talk about a review that made your day.
Related to above, literally any feedback makes me happy because it means someone enjoyed something and cared enough to tell me. I had one review for a Bleach fic that really made my day, like the person gave me lots of specifics of what they enjoyed about the story and it just made me grin from ear to ear. I’ve also received supportive messages and lots of love that just swelled my heart. REVIEWS MEAN SO MUCH, so please, please, please leave them. Please don’t think you’re bothering us. Please don’t worry about sounding smart or whatever, just tell us what and why you love something and we’ll be thrilled!
Thank you so much for sending these and wishing me a great day! It’s been a long one but I’m home now to enjoy comfort food and down time with my honey and my dog!
