https://www.change.org/p/saveinternet Please, go to this site and put your name on this petition. It’s for stopping Article 13, an EU thing that likelywill kill memes and AMVs, actually the whole internet culture. This article basically says that the site that allows an copyrighted upload will be held responsible. If that dosen’t sound scary then let me give an example.
You want to make a meme, let’s say that you use a screenshot of a TV-episode, that screenshot is protected by copyright. You are finished and hit the upload button and it should go up except instead you are given something that looks like an error message. Your site had to make a hugely expensive and faulty system that searches your upload for infringment on copyright and stops it. And you might try again and again till you give up or draw something original. Or your site let’s you upload it and a few days later both you and them have to pay tremendous sums, if it happens too many times they might have to declare bankruptcy. Oh, I forgot to mention. This would kill youtubers and most content creators jobs. And every continent, even the USA would be affected So do me a favor and sign it, please.
Article 13 would send fandom back to how things ran in the 70s and 80s.
Not just for the EU, for everyone. And don’t bank on VPNs being able to jack. They may work for people in China right now but that’s because the rest of the internet is currently untouched by this insanity. As well as fandom and youtube at large it would fuck up things like Patreon, too.
THIS WILL IMPACT THE ENTIRE INTERNET, NOT JUST PEOPLE IN THE EU.
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.

We raised rabbits when I was a child and my sister gave a rabbit a bath (she was 5) and it died..so heed this instruction.
I wasn’t going to reblog this, but then I realized I might save a rabbit.
This is important guys. If your rabbit gets into something gnarly and you HAVE to bathe them: 1. Fill a bowl with warm water. 2. Get a washcloth. Put it in the water. Squeeze it out until it is just damn. 3. Lightly scrub the dirty area on your bun. 4. That is it. DO NOT get your bun wet. Only slightly damp on the part that was dirty. (source)
