I’m American. I live right in the southwest and let me tell you, it’s hell over here right now, but it will become a lot worse if Article 13 is passed.
You’ve probably heard about Article 13, and if you haven’t, go watch this video right now. Whatever you’re doing can wait for sixteen minutes and two seconds, because a second-long vote could destroy everything online.
Whether you’re from Europe or not, this law could affect you, so you should care Article 13 because it is going to destroy the online lives that you have built. No more posting memes, no more remixes, and no more YouTubers from anywhere.

All of your favorite content creators are at risk of losing their jobs because people want stricter laws on copyright, which will support the larger media companies but kill smaller creators. And because of this, we may lose everything online.
So spread the word! Reblog this, reblog other people’s posts, find petitions, write your own posts! If you’re in Europe, contact your MEP’s and get them to understand how it will affect the people who use the internet.
Please.

I guess I will be taken to prison by Chinese government one day, because of this art I drew, or the things I said.
I am from Hong Kong. As you may not know, this is a special administration region of China. We (still) have our own legal system, and freedom of speech, that’s why I can access to everywhere in the internet without censorship (I get ask a lot). Recently, over a million of people are protesting against the Extradition Law. It was an extremely-almost-impossible fight and many students are injured horribly by the police force. I WAS THERE.
If the extradition law is passed, which means that China can “took” anyone from Hong Kong back to China as “prisoners”. Oh you don’t wanna know what China will do to those innocent people …
The government is forcing the law on us. We couldn’t do this on our own. We need more attention from other countries. Please spread this message out.

For people who need a reminder
You will get better. You may be like “gosh, I really can’t draw people, dogs, whatever” right now, but someday you WILL be able to.
Less than a year ago, our dog drawings looked like this. They were fun, whimsical, but GOSH the anatomy and expressions of the dogs weren’t good at all!
Now look at us. This is less than a year later and honestly, this was all just from continuing to draw dogs.
🌟 Use references: The things that often deters artists from doing this is that, at first, your drawings look NOTHING like the reference. This is okay! Even if you absolutely hate the finished drawing–you’ve learned valuable skills. Draw five more times from reference and you’ll start to notice that you’re picking up on skills you never had before.
🌟 Celebrate your accomplishments: The hardest part of art is staying motivated even when your art isn’t up to your preferences. So, celebrate what does look good! Noticed a bit of improvement in one area? Literally write on the back of the drawing “I just improved with (whatever it was)!” As silly as it sounds, this makes a difference.
If you’d like, feel free to post two pictures below–one from a few years ago and one recently. Mention how you feel you’ve improved!
(This is totally okay–even encouraged–to reblog, too. There are a lot of artists out there and we could all use some motivation.)
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
So i've been seeing some people in our lovely community (not just the danger days fandom, but by extension mcr, fob, patd, msi, etc) lately who seem to openly support that fascist carrot in the oval office, so i just wanted to take this time to remind you that..
So yeah. If you support trump you're a shitty person and you can get the fuck out of this community.
And don't say shit like "I'm enjoying the music despite the fact that my views differ from others :)" you don't get to say that. This isn't a chocolate-and-vanilla debate we're talking about. You're openly supporting a racist, classist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic fascist.
(p.s. if i see any of you clowning in the replies, I'll get Billie Joe Armstrong to come to your house and drop kick you in the ribs)
