‘my neighbour totoro’ music box
One of my resolutions was to eat out less, so I had a go at making some of these recipes – I made such a big batch that I had kimchi stew for days, no complaints tho 💁♀️
me on a date: so how do you feel about feminism
them: not happy with it to be honest
me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: sorry i have to -
them: i feel like most feminist spaces still aren't inclusive enough of women of colour, trans women, lbpq women, women with disabilities,
me, slowly returning breadsticks: go on

Today I did a lot of productive things that weren’t for school and even tho I’m glad they’re done I’m trying to fight the guilt for not studying. I’m trying to learn to not over study, because honestly studying is great and beneficial but I want to learn to study less but learn more, so I should study meaningfully whenever I sit down to do it. It’s just hard transitioning away from studying so much (sometimes for no benefit) because habit wise, I feel like I should study for something all the time.
I just don’t want my life to pass by, but I also don’t want to let go of my GPA 🤧😭
That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).
Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”
Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.
THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.
For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

Most importantly, VOTE. This should not be something that is so clearly split between the political parties as it affects all Americans, but unfortunately it is.
PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR INTERNET!
Whenever you are stuck in a rut, get up and strut around your room and strike those poses. you might think its stupid but it is so much fun and it is so reassuring. so get up and work it kween
