Article 13

I hope you all realize this is more than just “losing memes and fan art”

This affects how content is shared online. Period. This is censorship. If this is implemented it opens the door to the government deciding what you can share and when.

“Web services large and small might decide to implement the directive globally, which would diminish American users’ capacity to share memes, political satire, or news articles online.” (Meaning due to the European law, websites might just change how they operate world wide, so the rules placed on them they will probabaly inforce in countries who don’t have the law)

If this could affect Americans in this way, imagine how heavy handed it will be on those who actually live in Europe??

This is a way to control what you do, say, think and read. It’s put under the disguise of “copyright” protection, but you are a fool if you think that’s what this really is.

But women discrimination is a myth right??

Imagine how many people’s lives they ruined. There were probably so many women that went in there knowing they destroyed that test. Yet, when they got their results back…they had to be so confused and disappointed. Mentally and emotionally, that had to be quite the blow. Anyway, this is evil.

This is so evil lmfaoooooo like the world really hates women and we can’t even do anything about it. How depressing.

Not just the lives of the women though. Think of the people their medical advancement, learning, studying, could have gone on to save. Think of the lives they could have helped.

think of the under-qualified men who got these positions instead and went on to kill people. the whole reason this was even discovered is this university was accused of doctoring grades to let the son of politically connected man enroll when he was not qualified. literally sabotaging communities.

Now you know.

It’s okay if you didn’t know, just don’t do it again.

Ducks make great crunchy noises if you give them lettuce.

@abbysucks

Watching ducks eat peas is a delight.

The ducks who live in my pond love grapes! (cut if they’re big ones)

The internet could change next week, and not in a good way

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.

Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now. 

If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu

Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality. 

If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content. 

You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.

You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.

You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.

Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!

We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.

And if we’re getting all our content blocked? 

You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.

You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read – simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.

So do whatever you can to help us stop this.

Reblog this.

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE

“what happens at home stays at home” is something your parents get to tell you about the fact that your mom washes her underwear in the kitchen sink or your dad’s famous homemade mac and cheese actually comes from the freezer section at walmart

it doesn’t apply to you being abused.

you’re allowed to talk about that, you’re allowed to tell people about it either to vent or to seek help, and you’re not betraying your family or your parents’ confidence by doing so.

honestly i have saved a lot of hassle by specifically requesting to be treated by female medical professionals whenever possible

to clarify

  • there are plenty of good (and mediocre, and lousy) medical professionals of any gender. 
  • institutional sexism is a big problem in healthcare. big problem. huge. also racism & other types of discrimination. women and minorities are statistically likely to receive worse care.
    • yes, female health professionals (like all women) are also capable of perpetuating sexism.
  • if you are perceived female, requesting that female professionals handle your care is a useful way to lower the odds that medical gender bias will get in the way of your treatment. 

and here’s an article on how statistically female doctors have better patient outcomes & lower mortality rates (no matter the gender of the patient). the patients with the highest mortality rates? women treated by male doctors. one reason for this: female practitioners tend to spend more time listening to their patients, and are less likely to dismiss patient concerns

the final takeaway: whatever the gender, find a doctor who listens.
