The FCC voted to repeal Net Neutrality, but I would like to reiterate to all of you that now is not the time to panic. It’s time to get angry and active, but not time to panic.
Clickbait sites are painting today as the definitive “end” of it all, but it’s not. This shit’s still got to go through the courts.
The FCC has tried to repeal net neutrality twice before, and both times it got repealed by the courts.
The voting public’s support for Net Neutrality is overwhelming. Last I checked, 83% of polled voters nationwide are in support of Net Neutrality staying.
Republican politicians and lawmakers are aware of this overwhelming support and have been voicing their support as well.
Doug Jones victory in Alabama was a wake-up call for Republican politicians, letting them know they are not invincible.

Jeeze, no wonder I never meet anyone online that lives in new zealand.
This one’s current, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t scare the shit out of me if I’m honest!
Alright, one more time guys, check it out and give it one last good push!
This and the “What would the internet be like without net neutrality?
Imagine EA as your network provider” are my favourite examples of
what’s going on here.
I try to keep a lot of real-world issues
off my blog because these are very stressful times and I feel like we
all need a little break from the constant worry of becoming a dystopian future present, but this net neutrality fight is super important. Please please please go to those listed websites, contact a congressman, sign a petition, do something. Even if you’ve never been politically active before, this is a darn good time to start.
Hey, so I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any sort of original artwork on this blog, and I’d like to take a crack at getting back into drawing on a semi-regular basis. So I decided to post the first five pages of a project I’ve been working on for a little while now. I might post some more pages I’ve got later if anyone’s interested.
Imagine a dragon at Antiques Roadshow, appraising its hoard
Imagine the dragon hoards monetarily worthless things like newspapers or old bones and the person appraising it getting more and more nervous about telling the dragon their stuff isnt worth anything
Imagine that the dragon knows this and just likes watching the person squirm.
The dragon actually hoards uncomfortable situations
I just love it when people come up with random weird animal or dragon things and iguanamouth illustrates them just because.
WOW THAT DRAGON
Maybe iguanamouth is actually a dragon that hoards silly drawings of weird animal or dragon things.
I drew these in between hurricane preperation. This’ll probably be the last art you’ll see from me for a few weeks.
These are characters for an open legend game DMed by @oolongearlgrey
I’m the bird (Squen’til The Peacock, designed by me), @mcmr-arts is the tiger (Toraoh, designed by mcmr) and @incrediblebeard is the skeleton astronaut (unnamed as of now, designed by me). The last picture is the scrapped draft design for incrediblebeard’s character.
Our country has fascism. This is the creator of rick and morty and community saying he’s not a nazi and you should too. To actually stand up and say no.
The discourse is over. Nazi white nationalist whatever the fuck they want to call it now are terrorists.
Their entire platform is to get rid of minorities.
BLM and antifa’s platform is “don’t kill me please”
Honestly, I wish it wasn’t so surprising to see a white man creator/showrunner loudly, clearly, and articulately explain why it’s not even a matter to entertain the IDEOLOGIES of fascism
This is the only proper mainstream media response the Nazis.
It is not radical, but in fact, a reasonable, moderate position, to decide genocide is wrong and evil, no debate.
“The discourse is over. We have sat. We have talked. We have pondered. The discourse is over…the war has begun. You’re not talking to Nazis anymore. You’re not talking to people that want to entertain the notion of being a Nazi anymore. You don’t want to talk to people that want to circumscribe the concept of Nazism within a fucking Socratic dialectic about goddamn whether Nazi Nazi Nazi Nazi.
They’re fucking Nazis. . It’s the bedrock of humanity. It’s so low that the worst people in the world find it, and that’s where they rally. And it’s so low
We have gotten so bad, that a 1/3 of our country has gotten there! 29% of the people are fucking Nazis! Let’s face it. That’s a minority. We can beat them! We have to say, ‘I’m NOT A NAZI’ though!”
2/3 of the country doesn’t want to be political. It’s not politics to say you’re not a Nazi! It’s like taking a shit. You just do it or you explode! You die if you don’t shit and you die if you don’t say you’re not a Nazi. Fascism is a fucking cancer, it will eat your country unless your country kills it.
Here’s what happens when you get cancer: nothin good. nothing. There is no way out of it. I’m your country’s doctor. You’ve got cancer. You have fascism. You are going to suffer. You are going to fight. You are going to feel pain. You are not getting out of this. We have fascism. It is happening. We’re fucking dead maybe, or maybe they’re dead. That’s about it. There’s not a continuum. It’s not a grey area. It’s not a fad. Fascism doesn’t pop up and then recede when it finds out no one’s into it. It doesn’t respond to love. It doesn’t respond to hate. It doesn’t respond to ignoring it. It doesn’t respond to timeouts. It doesn’t respond to attention. It doesn’t respond to lack of attention.
You stab it. You cut it out. You bombard it with poison or you die. And in any case, you will probably die. Don’t die talking to cancer! Don’t die hanging out with it. Don’t die arguing with it on Twitter. It’s fucking fascism. ENOUGH! Team up. Stop bitching about Bernie Sanders. I don’t care what flavor you want your democracy to be. It’s democracy versus motherfucking fascism! You can be as Bernie as you want! You got to do it later man. You’ve got to do it fucking later. You got to do it later.”
