I am in desperate need of funds at the moment, and am currently selling an authentic Unus Annus poster- never hung up, or really taken out of its original shipping tube! I could never find the proper place/setting to hang it up! It’s the holographic The End one. Please let me know if you’re interested.
Germany has started implementing article 17 (formely known as article 13)
Back in 2019,the EU Copyright Directive passed by a slim margin in Parliament,the very same Directive containing Upload Filters and Link taxes.And now its on its way.
AO3 made an entry explaining clearly what are the stakes,and how the current language of the bill endangers non commercial sites such as AO3 itself,as well as Wikipedia.
Please refer to the original post for the entire information:

If you are German,I beg you to contact your representatives like indicated
Explains how this threathen freedom of speech and creativity during fair use,and how parodies,caricatures,postiche,etc should not be subjected to this.
I do not know when or if other EU countries will also start implementing article 17 on their own.
I do know there is a lawsuit from Poland ongoing trying to strike the Directive down
(But it is extremely slow process,so its best to contact MEPs right away before too much damage is done under this Directive)
Not only that,but TERREG (not part of the directive) which is the “anti terror law”) has been adopted without a plenary vote on a EU scale,which means that under one hour,certain sites will have to take down any content deemed as “terrorist” to governement’s eyes,without the control of a judge to see if its fair or not.
So sites will have to resort to Upload Filters as the short time theyre given to take content down is ridiculously short.
Terreg can be sued,but only if we see misuse,which isn’t really enough.
If you read this,I’m begging you to REBLOG AND SPREAD THIS LIKE WILDFIRE.
Even if you’re not from the EU.
Tweet about this,get Youtubers to talk about,anything to get the word out.
Don’t let governements and greedy assholes censor our Internet.
thread of some ways to help the brooklyn center community right now
gofundme for daunte wright’s family
support daunte wright’s girlfriend and baby son
no more size 4 diapers/drop offs for today (4/12)
help documenting mn purchase supplies, food, etc
support protestors/mutual aid
support medics supply needs
call these numbers and demand police defunding and abolition
i’ve seen people linking donation links to minnesota freedom fund, but they already have plenty of money from last summer and i would instead redirect money to the links above and other bipoc individuals/orgs
for those in the twin cities metro area:
candlelight vigil at 7pm 6pm today (april 12th) (moved to accommodate those who do not wish to stay past curfew)
protest at bcpd at 7pm today (april 12th) rescheduled due to curfew, though people will probably still attend
gas masks available for black folks protesting
some guidelines for protesting/protestor safety
more protesting guidelines
bail support number
beware that the fbi has a complex a few blocks away from bcpd (physical location)
be aware that there is a 7pm curfew for hennepin, anoka, ramsey, and dakota counties (because they want to fuck with the vigil and protest)
curfew has been modified so that anyone travelling to prayer, such as taraweeh, is exempt
walz says that ‘largest police presence in Minnesota history will be prepared’ to enforce curfew, so please prepare if you’re planning to protest
remember that breaking curfew can be as simple as taking a walk, the more people who disobey the curfew the better
donation sites for food and supplies
more specific needs
CANMN is also collecting supplies for protestors
remember to check in and help with local encampments
keep this in mind to avoid the spread of misinformation
if you’re coming from out of town: please be mindful of the community and spaces you’re entering and protect those who are more vulnerable. stay out of private yards and be aware that many young children live in these residential areas.
I’ll keep editing this post with more resources so please check back for the most up to date info; these are all from trustworthy sources to the best of my knowledge.
interrupting the bday celebrations to say st. vincent's volcano la soufriere on their largest island chain just erupted and the smoke rose to 10km in the air, and ash is falling heavily.
st. vincent is a very small island in the caribbean - much smaller than that of my own country and my country is like a dot on the world map - of only 100k+ citizens and at least 7,000 people were told to evacuate. this is the first eruption since 1979. st. vincent is a predominantly black country, and as of now i haven't seen any petitions as yet from the people. all i can do is hope that we can boost this and send them our love and support.
(bonus video showing how high the smoke is in the air)
