Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
When you realize DanAndPhilGames could be shut down because of the upcoming European copyright laws
Oh shit
I feel like no one realises how bad this actually is. To make it clear for y’all if this law passes, it’s going to be 1000x worse than net neutrality. This is a literal internet censorship.
Want to post a cute fanart? BLOCKED. A fanfic? BLOCKED. Do you have a friend in europe and want to send them a meme? BLOCKED. Youtube let’s plays? BLOCKED Dan’s meme videos? BLOCKED.
Nearly not enough people are talking about this so please, even if you’re not european, help us and take part. We did the same when net neutrality was trying to ruin all of our lives. I’ll put some useful links below.
Right so to add to this. My friend has already been affected by this shit today . Her gmail profile pic which was eevee (pokemon) has been removed apparently due to eu copyright laws. It was a fucking profile pic. @eu fuck u
also Philip DeFranco made a p good video about this topic. I’ll link it which according to the new laws will also be illegal.
🇺🇸 Another addition for y’all americans: Just so you know there’s quite a big chance a certain cheeto could get inspired by the shit eu is going to pass rn and then we’re all screwed.
🇬🇧 UK lads: UK is going to be affected by this until the day they officially leave the EU and that is in 2021. Contact your local MPs link is above.
🇪🇺 europeans: Are basically all going to be fucked if we don’t do something! Contact your local MPs link is above.
🌏Rest of the world is hopefully sane but still…. please try to help even if this isn’t going to affect you directly.
Any help is appreciated but please try to spread the message as well as signing the petition. Thank u all
Listen I know that it’s the 2018-way to immediately compare every single American government corruption to the Nazis but uh, you actually don’t need to do an international comparison when trying to show the horrors of separating children from their families and putting them in “camps”.
Turns out America did that too:
(The above are pictures from Japanese Internment Camps in WWII, located right here in America. More info on the subject: x )
In fact, they did it more than once:
(The above are pictures of German-Americans who were also detained in American states. More info: x )
In fact, they did it a lot:
(The above are photos from the American Native-American “boarding schools” which separated Native American children from their families so that they could be brainwashed into embracing the white “Christian” American way. More info: x )
So when you see these appalling images in the news:
don’t start comparing America to WWII Germany.
Start comparing America to America.
Because we’ve always done this and, as long as we can get away with it, we always will.
This is true! The zoo where I volunteer (the illustrious Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) was one of the pioneers of this program.
Our zoo is known for raising cheetah cubs. Cheetahs have a terrible infant mortality rate and cubs are often rejected, so we get a lot of cubs to raise from all over the country (other zoos and sanctuaries, mostly).
The cubs are placed with a puppy friend when they are wee and small, so they grow up together like littermates. They play together, wrestle, and the dogs (yellow Labs) are so calm, friendly and well-socialized that the cheetahs take behavioral cues from them. When they meet new people, or go into new situations (which they often do, as ambassador animals for cheetah conservation), they check out if their dog friend is feeling chill – which he is – and then they know it’s okay for them to be chill, too.
Basically the dog is a service animal for them.
The cats need their dog friends less and less as they get older and more comfortable, but they still often hang out as grownups.
Our zoo does cheetah runs, where the cheetahs get to chase a lure and show off their speed. Often they’ll have one of the cheetahs run (we have like twelve cheetah), and then they’ll have one of the dogs do the run to show how much faster the cats are. People get a kick out of that. The dogs…let’s just say they try their best.
Picture a woman in pop culture. – Largely well known and respected in her field of work by professionals and fans alike. – Has a very recognizable voice. – Married. He also works in the same field. His reputation is enough to rival her own, maybe even more successful than she is. – Once suspected her husband of committing adultery. Sometimes seen as unsupportive, even by fans. His bum ass definitely doesn’t deserve her. – Three children. The oldest is a daughter named after a color (protect her). – T H I C C

Please reblog to spread awareness for this terrible event and start a conversation.
Summary: on July 26, 2016, a man carrying a knife broke into Tsukui Yamayuriena, a home for the disabled outside of Tokyo and brutally murdered 19 people as they slept, while injuring another 26. Afterwards, he turned himself in to a local police station, with the explanation:
“It is better that the disabled disappear.”
——————————————————————————————-
It absolutely angers me and makes my blood boil that this tragedy has long gone unnoticed by the world. First of all, people with disabilities, on one hand, are a source of ‘inspiration’ for many across the world – even though they are only achieving things that able bodied people achieve. This has, however, led to the rise of the disability rights movement – the desire to give disabled people the same rights as others. On the other hand, the disabled still face a life filled with prejudice and violence.
There were so many outlets that failed to even mention this devastating attack, and the ones that did described it as a ‘mercy killing.’ This way of viewing the attack is so fundamentally wrong. It fails to recognize that this was an act driven by hate towards a group of people. This was a hate crime.
The sad part is that us disabled individuals live in a world that often forgets that 200,000 Holocaust victims were disabled. I live in a world where disabled people are often sent to separate schools due to their disability. I live in a world where the word ‘retard’ is thrown around as a descriptive word in day to day conversation.
We need to start addressing ableism because it is a real form of discrimination.
