I Am One Voice Out Of The Millions But

I am one voice out of the millions but

as you may know by now, i live in Europe, many of my online friends, do not. what brought us together was, the internet.

a mere love for say Yuri on Ice, memes, youtubers.

in the recent months, the internet has been under attack, free speech and fair use are being silenced.

think about this: you’re just watching a music video from your favorite idol, whether it be Taylor Swift or Queen, you really enjoy that content

as you go to the next video it says “error, this video is not available in your country” you think ‘okay, whatever’ and move on to the next one, same message, you skip to the next one again, same message again.

then you realize, all content by Taylor Swift has been blocked by Youtube. all content by Cardi B has been blocked by Youtube.

Article 13 threatens to block songs like despacito, DESPACITO, a song that gained over 90b views, over a directive.

this is not a joke anymore. this is not a “meme ban law”, this will affect the UK, this will affect your favorite non European creators, this will affect you.

European content creators will not be able to make content anymore. not without licenses for every single thing they show, do and put as background music.

this threatens to kill creativity and the internet as we know it.

our future, is in jeopardy if this gets passed. without Europe, net neutrality would’ve already been non existent.

the internet needs to be saved.

not just for us, but for our future. the future of the world. the internet brought us together as a world and we’ve shown it many times before how strong it can be.

we have to show that strength again.

we have lost a crucial battle back in September, but we have not lost the war. we have to keep fighting and to push our belief. to push the internet further. to grow as a community, as a society.

what Europe wants to do is protect copyright, which is needed yes, but not in this extreme, it’s like when you were in elementary school and this one kid ruined a field trip for everyone.

we cannot let them take away our internet. fight for your right to free speech, fight for your right to have fair use.

fight for your internet

if a company like YouTube, a google owned company that literally owns all your data and probably sold it making millions off of it, is NOT able to afford a directive like Article 13.

please, i beg you, to share this with your friends, your family, to tweet your MEP’s, to email them, to call them, to remind your European friends to do that.

we are strong.

we are a unity.

we are a community.

we are the internet.

we have put our strengths together to save the Internet.

thank you for listening. don’t give up. stay strong.

!!!!!!!!!

an important reminder to other folks in the community (or any community with a character that uses SL for whatever reason)!!!

How do we recognize ableist content like that? I've never been in situations like that, so something that look pretty harmless to me could be in fact quite shitty. I don't want to share stuff like that and be unaware of it, how do I learn?

well thank you for asking!!! but the first thing I’d like to do is make it clear that while I do trust myself to recognize many common ableist errors/choices, I do not pretend to be an authority on this issue any more than anyone else who’s done some research, talked with other people, and worked to recognize things. I need help sometimes too! Also I’d like to reiterate that I am able-bodied and people with disabilities are free to correct me.

The second thing to notice is that SOMETIMES these things are context-dependent. For instance, while I usually gag to see Jameson made into like the son of somebody the same age as him, if you’re actually writing an au where Jameson and maybe another character or two are actually children to another character, that can be pretty cute!!! In that case an adult is not being infantilized and he is not made into a child because of his disability - he’s being made into a child because he’s a literal four-year-old and that’s the premise of the story (and he still can’t talk). Alternatively, maybe Jameson needs extra attention and love and protection from older brothers after a traumatic event - but at some point, that Jameson should begin to regain his independence, should still experience a wide range of emotions, and should not be condescended to about his emotions or ability to function alone. However, please be careful with this… don’t use context to make excuses if you’re actually pulling ableist shit.

I think that list I gave in the post I made is a good (but not comprehensive!) starting point for some of the things to look for that are offensive to people with disabilities (some of these are specific to mutism). Let’s take another deeper look at these points:

It’s Nice To Have A Friend

cw(s) for readers: fluff!!

    “Y’know, it’d be nice to have a friend that’d wait up for me,” Jackie shot a glare at the magician.

    “It’d also be nice to have a friend that didn’t take so long to zip up his jacket,” Marvin shot back, rolling his eyes. He couldn’t help but look back at the want-to-be hero and smile, and the other couldn’t help but smile back at him. There was silence shared between them as they walked on. It wasn’t an ‘awkward silence’ per se, but it wasn’t entirely welcomed by either of them. Crunching snow and passing-by cars made it slightly more bearable, however.

    After some carefully remembered turns and standing in front of bakery shops window eyeing at all the delicious baked goods, they finally stop at a familiar crosswalk. Jackie had to yank Marvin from his bag so he didn’t go ahead and end up getting hit by a car. He’d never admit it to Jackie’s face, but if it weren’t for him and his close eye, he would have been six feet under a long time ago.

    Marvin grunted, a form of ‘thanks, I guess,’ which made Jackie chuckle softly. The magician-to-be glances at the crosswalk timer and goes to press the button, but quickly yanked his hand away once his hand came into contact with the button. Thankfully, he pushed down hard enough so it started working the second time around. He pulled his other hand out and started to rub his hands together, trying so very hard to spark some warmth in his palms. Jackie gave Marvin a look of pity, but he didn’t care. The whole day, Marvin had complained and whined about how he forgot his gloves at home, but he rejected any form of help from his friends (their ‘help’ being offered pairs of gloves and those nifty little hand warmers.) They start to walk across the street after the timer begins and reached the other side. A glove was slapped across the chest, startling Marvin.

    “Put it on your left hand, alright?” Jackie huffed. “At least one of them will be covered.”

    Marvin nodded and slipped the glove on, the fabric feeling awfully strange with his numb hand. This time, he actually says ‘thank you,’ but Jackie’s reply made his head snap back to look at him.

    “No problem, babe.”
