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
Capitalism is so insanely evil it’s honestly kind of impressive
“if you force companies to pay their staff more than starvation wages they’ll just fire people and then those people will starve even faster and that’s just how it is and there’s literally no way to change it or fix this serious problem of people starving”
“if you force landlords to maintain their properties instead of allowing the buildings to decay around their tenants then they will just charge higher rent which will price people out of housing and then they will be homeless, this is an incontrovertible fact and is both inevitable and a morally neutral phenomenon”
??????????
“helping people is bad, actually, and hurting them is objectively a good and positive thing 100% of the time, the world would be worse if nobody was suffering and dying for stupid, preventable reasons”
I have been beside myself about the emergence of child concentration camps so I want to give a shout out to all the immigration attorneys doing your respective deity’s work right now
How can the rest of us best support you? I know of RAICES and KIND, and am trying to find the best local legal services groups to donate to
Update, friends–
My law school just emailed alums a bunch of information if we’re interested in helping immigrant families who have been separated at the border.
Here’s the gist.
Opportunities to assist with family separation:
Immigration Justice Campaign (**for attorneys only** powered by the American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association)
Donate to organizations that have hosted Pro Bono Caravans and/or In-House Pro Bono Projects and are assisting immigrant families and unaccompanied minors:
KIND – Kids in Need of Defense https://supportkind.org/ They are supporting kids directly at the border and beyond through legal and social services.
RAICES is a nonprofit that provides free and low-cost legal services to immigrant children, families and refugees in Texas. Donate generally or specifically to the RAICES bond fund: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/bondfund
hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!
hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.
If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too!
Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!
Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.
REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO FREAKING IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS TO READ THAT DEAL WITH GRIEF AND GUILT WHILE BEING LGBTQ AND RELIGIOUS
What if when straight girls said they wanted a “gay best friend” they meant they wanted to befriend that girl in their class who came out as a lesbian that all the other girls stopped inviting to sleepovers and stopping dressing in the locker room around instead of meaning that they want to stereotype gay men and use them as their own personal accessory and basically just be all around ridiculously homophobic?
Except no that’s not what happened, that’s not why he sued, he sued because when he went to ask for more napkins, the staff started racially harassing him, all over fucking napkins. As for the amount, ut was probably exaggerated by the lawyer so when the court shrinks it, McDonalds would still have to pay at least something.
There are no such things as frivolous lawsuits made by individual people.
McDonald’s (and most businesses) have insanely good pr departments. The woman who sued McDonald’s for being burned by their coffee was turned into the face of “people will sue over anything” because suing over coffee being hot sounds ridiculous, right? Except for she was literally burned to the bone. The pictures are nauseating. What she went through was horrifying.
If you ever find yourself ridiculing an individual on a company’s behalf you’re probably just repeating pr propaganda
READ IT and remember next time someone talks about some “ridiculous” lawsuit that’s just a sign of how supposedly easy it is for individuals to make bucks off suing poor, helpless huge corporations for oh, no good reason at all.
A year changes you a lot. Think back to who you were last June. If you have been working hard and healing, celebrate your progress. The summer solstice is a reset point.
A Google Chrome extension that you can press when you think something may be triggering to another person out there. It’s a crowd-sourced thing, so the more people use it, the more it will be able to warn us 30 seconds in advance so we can decide if we want to keep watching. Brilliant.
This isn’t captioning related, but it definitely falls under the banner of ‘Access for All’
I just downloaded it and this is what the list of trigger categories looks like:
it looks like it will be very useful for anyone who is concerned about being triggered. i dont have netflix so i cant see how it actually works with netflix but if anyone has tried it hmu pls!
For future reference
SUPPORT THIS OMFG
This is incredible! It would make watching tv so much more enjoyable !
the first thing i saw this morning when i left the house at 6am was my cat w a bird in his mouth… i went from barely awake to Despair in like 0.02 seconds. luckily soda is easily bribed with ham so i got him to put it down immediately, it was a little thrush, gorgeous little bird, and i put her in a padded box on the porch out of the cats reach. i was expecting the stress to get her but the good news is i came home and she has flown away :)
Your cat’s name is Soda.
yes. here is a picture of him. he is a ham loving menace
every time this post come back to my dash is more and more horrendous
Let me tell you about
The 1973 Levi’s Gremlin.
Looks like just another AMC Gremlin, yeah? Well, notice the Levi’s logo on the front fender just behind the wheel well, and you know that when you get in this car, you’re in for something very…special.
Your eyes are not deceiving you. The seats and the trunk are upholstered in GENUINE LEVI’S DENIM, complete with bronze stitching. This is not some ironic custom job from recent times, either; this was a real option offered by AMC in 1973.
And people thought it was a good idea, even!
JEATS
Thats it, close the meme. It’s all done
This fucking post haunts me every time I wear jeans
Some of you are so young… You weren’t here for Dashcon… Mishapocalypse… That fateful day when Pizza was deleted… There is much history you do not know children. Be grateful you’ll never have to live those horrors. Be grateful…
today in art class i took my phone out for like 2 seconds to just check the time and my battery percent and my beloved art teacher, who just happened to notice the sonic the hedgehog shirt i was wearing, yelled “SONIC, PUT THE PHONE AWAY” ajd i swear those five words hit me like a speeding truck on a highway i was unable to paint right for the rest of class because i was still reeling in from the shock
I used to know this guy’s dad who slept with his eyes open and whenever I would sleep over at their house I’d sneak down and steal a poptart and stare at him directly in the eyes while eating it
If you see any memes saying “There are more than two genders #DropTheB” floating around, it’s a false flag operation from /pol/, and it’s meant to start outrage and infighting within the LGBTQ+ community.
