THE REPEAL OF NET NEUTRALITY IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

THE REPEAL OF NET NEUTRALITY IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

The FCC refuses to listen to anything we have to say about Net Neutrality. unless it involves serious legal issues. So today, I’m going to give us one, so we can all beat them at their own game.

In 2003, the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) convened and specifically established the following: “We reaffirm, as an essential foundation of the Information Society, and as outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; that this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers […] Everyone, everywhere should have the opportunity to participate and no one should be excluded from the benefits the Information Society offers.” [2]

If Net Neutrality is repealed, ISPs will be able to interfere with who, specifically, has access to particular parts of and possibly even the whole Internet. This is a contradiction to the official reaffirmation above and thus it is a direct violation of our HUMAN RIGHTS.

Spread the word NOW. Contact your reps (which I have already done) and hell, the FCC too, and let them know that OUR HUMAN RIGHTS WILL NOT BE VIOLATED.

The word about this NEEDS to get out to everyone, RIGHT NOW. Do not hesitate to reblog this.

First post of 2018! YAY!

(but it’s already May ............ woops)

Experimenting with Autodesk Sketchbook and these schnazzy little art figurines I got as a birthday gift. Here’s a link to show what they look like:

Start to finish didn’t take as long as I thought it would (though it was still probably about 2 hours). It seems I can be very efficient sketching-wise with the figurine, so that’s super neat.

Still not 100% satisfied with the coloring of his hair, but with time comes skill, I guess.

Bought these wonderfully amazing water soluble brush pens from Arteza, and I AM OBSESSED. So, of course my first drawing with them had to be from Studio Ghibli.

Decided to try my hand at some landscaping. This is more or less my backyard, with some moments of artistic license ;). All done with a mechanical pencil, an eraser, and my fingers (I didn't have a Kleenex on me so I had to use my hand for smudging)

Procrastinating my drawing to post photos of my drawings.

Work-in-progress of a small look at Finneley's garden. I tried to draw actual flowers and it's turned out to be quite fun.

Landscapes have been something I've been too scared to do because of the detail I felt was needed if I did it with colored pencils.

I had the fun thought to scan this whenever I finish it so that I can use it as a background for some traditional animation. But we'll see how it goes.

Happy drawing! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday 🌞❤️🌹❤️🌞
