Net Neutrality is Dead and You Can Expect Your Internet to Change on April 23rd

Yeah, no, I’m cross-tagging because the lack of attention this is getting overall is pissing me off.

Ajit Pai killed Net Neutrality. You’ll start seeing the effects you were warned about on April 23rd. Oh, and he apparently got an award for Courage from the NRA gun nuts, too.

You can still help by calling your senators and representatives. We just need ONE MORE PERSON on our side to get the senate portion of Congress to overrule the FCC’s decision to kill net neutrality. The battle for the net won’t end there, but it’s a start. Go to battleforthenet to find out who your reps are and where they stand, and CONTACT THEM.

Twenty-three states are also suing the FCC for this. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I assume big businesses like Google and Amazon are as well. Nevertheless, we can’t rely on lengthy lawsuits alone. The changes to your internet start in less than two months. We don’t have a whole lot of time.

Blow this up. Contact your reps. Please, do something! We HAVE to get the decision overruled!

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

April 2018 Rock the secret/unplanned pregnancy AU!

Sybil and Tom had only been married for a month when Sybil discovered that she was pregnant. It wasn’t the end of the world. After all, they had the money to raise a child. They wanted a child. Just… not yet. They had hoped that they would be able to spend a few years as a newly married couple before trying for a child. As soon as Sybil saw the two lines on the pregnancy test, her heart sank. This wasn’t the plan. Her first instinct was to tell Tom, who couldn’t have been more excited. He had always wanted children of his own. He had come from a large family and knew that he wanted to be in a house where he was surrounded by his own children. Granted, they hadn’t planned to have children quite yet, but Tom reassured Sybil that they could handle it and that they would get through it. With each stage of the pregnancy Sybil felt more confident in her abilities to raise a child. She had ultrasound scans. She became visibly pregnant. They started stocking up on clothes and baby paraphernalia. Sybil began seeing the good in the pregnancy, taking Tom’s lead. Yes, it was unplanned, but it wasn’t unwanted. They had a boy whom they called Oscar, and they couldn’t have been happier. He was the perfect baby… most of the time! And Sybil and Tom fell more in love with their little boy and with each other with every day that passed.

Once this secret blooms, it will be impossible to keep!
