Hi! I Was Wondering If You Have A Master List? :)

If net neutrality dies we aren’t getting it back. I just hope you guys know that. This government never fixes it’s mistakes until decades later if at all, and especially under Trump, they won’t ever fix their mistakes.

The BEST thing you can do is to call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121. Call three times, because you have two senators and one House representative.

Congress has oversight over the FCC, and they have stopped their votes before. Its vital you call them now, go to their local offices now (chances are there is one right next to you), and pressure them to take action. To actually go over there and stop them. To bring up all the lies the FCC is saying about net neutrality, about how they’re ignoring the lawsuit against them. WE ONLY HAVE 6 DAYS!!.

Scaredy Cat

One-Shots: Can I have a Zach Mitchell imagine when it’s my birthday and he takes me somewhere romantic? Please Announcements: Hope you all enjoy this one! Warnings: None

You ran your hands through your hair and yawned, making your way outside of the hotel and into the humid night air. You began to look around for your boyfriend, Zach, who had texted you to come outside. You started to yawn again when someone jumped in front of you. Instead of yawning you let out a strangled cry of surprise and jumped back.

“Yeesh, scaredy cat,” Zach said, coming out of the shadows, “I wasn’t being that creepy.”

You let out a breath and slugged your boyfriend in the arm, “You were totally being creepy! Like, serial killer creepy! What are you doing?”

He laughed and wrapped his arm around your shoulders, “Eh, well, what better day to make you fear for your life then your birthday! And besides, I needed to grab your attention. Because, since I am the best boyfriend ever, I’m taking to a nice place.”

You squinted at him, “What place is gonna be open this late in an amusement park?”

“It’s not a restaurant… exactly, but I’m gonna cover your eyes.”

“Ok, now we’re going back into serial killer territory, where are we going?”

“No spoilers,” Zach said, whilst wrapping a piece of cloth around your eyes.

“You run me into something and I swear I will kick you in the shins,” you commented after he took your hand and began walking.

“I would expect nothing less.”

After a few minutes of silence and more walking, Zach stopped suddenly, causing you to bump into the back of him. You furrowed your eyebrows and walked backwards, trying not to fall over in the process.

“Can I take this off now?” You asked.

“Allow me, m'lady,” he replied.

You felt the cloth being untied and then moving away from your face. Blinking quickly to make your eyes adjust to the low light, you let out a small gasp. In front of you there was a large fluffy blanket with dinosaurs on it, probably from the gift shop, and on it was a small picnic, with some candles strewn about.

You smiled brightly and turned to Zach, “Oh, it’s wonderful. This is really sweet, you didn’t have to do this, y'know.”

“Of course I did! Why wouldn’t I? Your the best friend I’ve ever had, and, well, I love you,” he said quietly.

You grabbed his hand and sat on the blanket, careful not to set anything on fire, and then kissed him on the cheek, “I love you too. Now, whats for dinner?”

He smiled at you, “Uh, well, obviously I didn’t have anything to cook, so,” he took two containers of take-out food and handed one to you, “I got some stuff from that restaurant we saw earlier.”

“Even more romantic,” you said, taking the food.

The two of you sat there for the rest of the night, talking and looking at the island and the stars, while finishing mediocre park food. You almost fell asleep right then and there if Zach hadn’t told you to go to bed for real. While in the elevator you smiled sleepily and chuckled softly at nothing in particular.

Well, maybe one thing, or, should you say, person.

Uh, *shuffles around because that was really sweet and I don’t know how to pay back such an awesome compliment* THANK YOU!!! *Throws flower at you and flees the scene*

imaginesofthefandoms you’re so freaking cool!!!!

*Gifs not mine

Cheese Ball

Can I have a Zach Mitchell imagine when he takes me somewhere romantic for my birthday please? Announcements: I hope this is what you wanted! I hope you enjoy and Happy Birthday!!! :-) Warnings: None

Today is going to be a great day. It was your birthday and nothing could bring you down, especially since your boyfriend, Zach, was coming over and said he had the entire day mapped out. You didn’t know what he had planned, but you were happy just because you would get to spend the day with him. The two of you met at the theme park, Jurassic World, on the unfortunate day Mother Earth decided to show the world, once again, who was boss. He had given you his phone number and, miraculously, the two of you lived relatively close. You were suddenly pulled out of your memories by a knock on the front door. You looked at yourself in the mirror one last time, straightened out your clothes, and headed out of your room. Smiling, you bounced over and opened the door to see Zach standing on the front porch. He looked up at you as soon as the door opened and out came his thousand watt smile.

“Hey, Y/N,” he said, pulling out a small bouquet of flowers behind his back, “Happy Birthday!”

Stepping out and closing the door behind you, you took the flowers and looked at Zach, a smile on your lips, “Thanks, Zach, this really means a lot to me.”

You pulled him into a tight hug, careful not to crush the flowers, “Of course! And this isn’t even the best part,” he pulled back and led you toward his car. “I have the whole day planned. Lunch - there’s that new restaurant you wanted to check out - then I thought we could do a movie, maybe some shopping, anything you want to do, we could do. It’s your special day.”

So, that’s exactly what the two of you did. Lunch was amazing, Zach apparently told the staff it was your birthday and soon they came out and sang, all while he smiled and took numerous photos.

“That’s my Y/N,” he had said, “They might be another year older but they don’t look a day over 80!”

You playfully looked offended and tossed a breadstick at his face, “You total dork.”

The movie was great as well, snuggling into your boyfriends arms, the two of you completely entranced and at peace. The shopping was nice as well, you even took some photo booth pictures, making faces at the camera while laughing and trying to outdo eachtother. You couldn’t ask for a better day.

Currently the two of you were leaning against each other, taking a nice stroll through the park, watching the sun slowly sink behind the earth. Your hands were intertwined and nothing in the world could pull you out of your calm trance. Well, maybe dinosaurs, but that was for another day. Soon a pond came into sight and gently, Zach led you over the hill and to the waterfront. As soon as it came into view, you almost stopped and gasped.

Near the waterfront, someone, probably Zach, you thought, had set a small blanket on the ground, a picnic basket sitting in the center. You looked over at your boyfriend, who was smiling brightly at you, glad that you liked his handiwork.

“Oh, Zach, it’s wonderful!”

He chuckled before saying, “Like I said, it’s your special day and I would do anything to keep that smile on your face. I, uh, I hope it’s not too cheesy, I mean I know that-”

You quickly cut him off by placing a small kiss on his lips. The two of you stood there, completely quiet, before you stepped away again, “Zach Mitchell, this is the most lovely thing in the world. Today was amazing and of course it’s cheesy, you are, in fact, a major cheese ball. But, you know what? You’re my cheese ball. So are you going to stand there, or are you gonna help me eat my birthday dinner?”

You walked over and sat down on the fuzzy blanket, not noticing he was shaking his head, looking at you with love in his eyes. Soon he regained consciousness and sat down next to you, “So, you do like it?”

You chuckled and looked over at him, “Of course I like it, cheese ball.”

“Am I really that cheesy?”

Leaning over, you kissed him after every word to emphasize your point, “One hundred percent. All. American. Cheesy goodness.”

The two of you laughed and started eating dinner, which, you must say, wasn’t half bad. There was much talk about the simple things of life as you just enjoyed each other’s company. Soon, after you were finished eating, some candles were broken out and, carefully, as to not set yourselves on fire, you lied down next to one another and gazed up at the stars, continuing your conversation, occasionally being interrupted by one of you pointing out a constellation.

Looking over, you saw Zach looking up at the sky while still talking about the morality of dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets when you realized something. You loved him. You smiled and thought about how you never wanted to leave this one moment in time, hoping you could both just stay star gazing for the rest of time. You realized that he really was your cheese ball, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today really was a great day, you thought, smiling to yourself, an absolutely amazing day.

Attention!

I have decided to open One-Shots back up for a short time at least. There still may be a wait time before yours shows up but worry not, I am getting to them! Thanks everyone!

This isn’t art-related, but this is EXTREMELY SERIOUS IF YOU LIVE IN THE US.  The following message is pasted from Reddit user DrDreamtime. I did not write this, but it contains all the most important information you should know. It should be spread as far and wide as possible.

For those that do not know or understand what net neutrality is and would rather see a video instead of a LOT of text, here is a good video by John Oliver on Net Neutrality.

Don’t want to do that? Understandable, it’s a 15 minute video. So heres a simple picture to highlight what things could look like

Please take the time to at least do the first easy step, either of the two options work and take very little time.

If this fails, the possibility of actually having to pay more to access reddit, facebook, and any other website or face massive loading speed increases or even a straight out site-block by your ISP.

Tell him how you feel.

Ajit Pai, FCC Chairman: 1-202-418-1000

Reddit won’t let me post the rest of the FCC contact information, something with the formatting and the automod, I think. You can click here, to go to the FCC’s official contact page.

You need to contact your representatives and senators about Net Neutrality even if they already support it, but especially if they don’t.

Remember that this very thread is only possible because of a free and open internet; kill net neutrality and threads like this might be a thing of the past.

Easy way:

Step 1: Go to BattleForTheNet.com. Step 2: Do what BattleForTheNet.com tells you to do.

-OR-

Text RESIST to 50409 to get help from RESIST Bot. It helps you find your reps, write letters to them, and sends them faxes FOR FREE. Everyone who cares about Net Neutrality should take 5 minutes to write to your representatives, once a week (or a day). Be heard.

The harder, but still very easy way:

Step 1: Find out who your Representative and Senator is/are.

Find your Representative.

Find your Senator.

Local elected officials.

Step 2: Find your Representative and Senator’s contact information.

5calls.org has a decent repository of Representatives and Senators contact information, though the site is a bit difficult to navigate.

Call My Congress just asks for your zip code and tells you what district you live in, who your Representatives are, and how to contact them.

DailyKos has a list of all of our Senator’s phone numbers, not just the DC office. (Current as of February, 2017.)

FaxZero has a system set up allowing you to fax your Representatives and Senators for free! (Faxes are good if you can’t get through on the phone lines, or just if you want congressional staffers to listen to fax machine noises until Net Neutrality is safe.)

Fax Congress

Fax Senators

Step 3: Call, write, or fax to express your feelings on this.

A lot of people are nervous about calling their elected officials for the first time, maybe you don’t know what to say, or how to say it, or even who you’ll be talking to, so here’s what you’ll need to know.

There’s a 75% chance your call will be answered by a Secretary who is specifically there to listen to your concerns, there’s a 25% chance your call will be bumped into a voicemail box which is specifically there to listen to your concerns, there is a ~0% chance you’ll find yourself on the phone with your Senator or Representative.

You may be asked for your name and address or zip code, it’s okay not to tell them if you don’t want to, but the information is useful for your elected officials. I usually just give my first name, zip code, and the name of my town.

Don’t worry about a script, don’t worry about being eloquent, you’re not writing Shakespeare here, you’re a concerned citizen voicing their frustrations, fears, and hopes. “I’m really scared of Ajit Pai’s plans to roll back net neutrality, a free and open internet is important to me because [Your reason here. Some suggestions: An open internet is important to democracy/I worry what Donald Trump might do with more power/Cable bills are already too high/etc.]. Please tell [Senator or Representative] that I support a free and open internet, I support Net Neutrality, and I vote.” The only hard and fast rule is that you need to be polite; these folks are getting dozens, if not hundreds of calls a day, they don’t need you bitching and swearing at them for something they have no control over. Be passionate, but be polite.

Reminder: Only call YOUR OWN elected officials! Calling Mitch McConnell from sunny Florida won’t do anyone any good, and might actually harm the cause. Only call your own elected officials, period.

Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

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).

To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)

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.

There are many ways you can help:
