Some old fella came up to me at work and asked a question only he didn’t quite figure out if he should call me “sir” or “ma’am” by the time he got to the end of his sentence and in a moment of apparent panic ended up saying “captain” instead. Absolutely made my day.

viperbranium: yuunhow: The EU Copyright Reform Proposal including the controversial article 11 and...

The EU Copyright Reform Proposal including the controversial article 11 and 13 has been approved today. Here’s what we can do to prevent this law from actually being passed.

So first of all, now that it has been approved I’m seeing a lot of confusion about what the proposal actually does. You can read all of it here, but here’s a short summary of the proposal:

- The proposal was first published around two years ago. The two most problematic things about it are Article 11 and Article 13, Article 11 wanting to prevent people from using snippets of text from news articles, possibly also affecting links that contain the headline of the article; Article 13 is about using upload filters on websites with lots of user uploads to prevent copyrighted material from being posted online. This would not only affect screenshots and gifs, but also memes, music used in remixes and similar content. That’s right, if this law passes we won’t be able to post memes and similar content online anymore. (Note: Don’t worry about your fanart and fanfiction. Those won’t be taken down.) It’s not clear what kinds of websites will have to make use of those filters yet; while some sources state it will only affect big platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Flickr etc. others say it could also affect start-ups and forums who aren’t able to pay for those filters and might have to close down.
(Please note that I’m no expert, so if you have anything to add/correct about my summary, feel free to do so.)

- Today, on June 20th, a parliamentary committee approved of the proposal.
However, it’s not over yet. The Internet won’t suddenly “die” today. There are a few more steps to be made before this passes as an actual law. Presumably on 3rd-5th July, there’ll be a Parliament Negotiating Mandate Vote. Finally, there’ll be a final Parliamentary Vote in December.
The proposal has to pass both of those votes before becoming an actual law.

Long story short: Keep contacting your MEPs. Just because the proposal has been approved, you shouldn’t stop fighting against this shit being passed. It’s not over yet.
Here are some useful links:

https://saveyourinternet.eu - Call and tweet your MEPs or write them (pre-written) emails

https://act.openmedia.org/savethelink-call - Call your MEPs

https://www.change.org/p/european-parliament-stop-the-censorship-machinery-save-the-internet - Sign this petition against upload filters

Lastly: No, this is not alt-right propaganda.
I know many of you were confused when this issue first blew up, as there were barely any reliable sources and most articles about it seemed to come from alt-right websites who used the issue to bash the EU. I fell for the rumor about the issue being faked too and was surprised to read in my local newspaper a few days ago that it is an actual issue, and now I just regret to not have done anything before the proposal passed. But as I said: It’s not over yet. We can still fight against this.

Please share this post, no matter if you’re from the EU or not. If you are from the EU, please contact your MEPs or sign the petition. Remind them on the upcoming elections May 2019 and let them know you and many, many more people care about the internet as it is right now.

ALSO let the people you know IRL know about this too, because I feel there’s been a huge lack of information? Maybe it’s just here but I have yet to see ONE press article talking about it, or even posts or videos made by people trying to spread awareness. So, yeah, make sure you spread the word and tell people to contact their MEPs!

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

I had a dream last night where I was just shouting about how Scotty is just as much of a genius as Kirk, Spock and Bones and that without Scotty that ship would barely leave Earth Space Dock.

And then I shouted “AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON UHURA”

353: Tribute to Spock

I grew up with and love Star Trek, so today’s drawing honors the late Leonard Nimoy. Today also coincides with the passing of my grandpa, so I’d like to say rest in peace good sirs. Thank you for being such an inspiration in my life.

You can see Spock and his kitty in Assignment Earth, Season 2 Episode 26.

AU in which instead of the Vulcan nerve pinch it’s a Vulcan headbutt but the Vulcans still treat it as some ancestral technique. Spock goes around smashing his head into peoples face.

Ok, but Data handed him the paper upside down so that La Forge could dramatically flip it around to the camera. I love this show

That paper came from the holodeck so why does it exist outside the holodeck?

I know this one!

ashayamspirk:

The other day on one of my fics, a person commented that they hadn’t realized I was blind, and how impressed they were by my writing because they thought connecting to characters on Star Trek wouldn’t be possible when you couldn’t see them.
And maybe that’s true for some media. I can’t really see gifs or art on tumblr. And Star Trek Discovery is really difficult for me because of all the use of Klingon with subtitles, and the sheer amount of reliance on visual action to move the plot. Same thing with the movie reboots, Star Trek Beyond was a huge pain because of all the action, and the theater I go to doesn’t ahve audio description options so half the time I was completely lost.
But with TOS…
Now, I know that Kirk and Spock share a lot of slow, long, lingering stares, and heart-eyes. But being blind doesn’t mean i’m unaware those things exist, and considering the tension between them, it’s not much of a stretch for my mind to fill in those long silences.
And when it comes to listening to the characters… There are so many subtle voice shifts, and tone changes, and feelings in the way they talk to each other, I’ve been able to fill in all the blanks just by hearing the tones in their voices.
You can hear how Bones isn’t really xenophobic, he’s just over-protective of Jim because he wants Jim to be happy and he’s not sure he can trust anyone in that. You can hear it in his tone every time he thinks Jim is hurt by Spock’s lack of humanity.
And you can hear the understanding in Jim’s voice every time he reminds Spock that being human and being Vulcan doesn’t make him less of one thing, or the other, and he’s in this, with Spock–ride or die.
And years later, not watching, but listening to the soft whisper of Jim’s voice as he says, “Spock,” so gently for the first time in three years, knowing Spock will actually hear him this time. And the sheer emotion on Spock’s voice when he says, “This,” and you don’t have to see him take Jim’s hand to know he’s got it, because what else can he be doing with that much feeling in his tone?
And you can hear that resignation in Bones’ voice that those two are it for each other when they’re sitting around a camp fire eating marshmelons and singing row row row your boat.
So yeah, I really don’t need to see it to understand the deep, fierce, unending love that they–not just Jim and Spock, but the entire crew–mean everything to each other. And I think that’s the beauty of Star Trek. I’ll be the first to say that yes, the old Star Trek could be more accessible, but the lack of it never stopped me from jumping aboard the Starship USS Enterprise for a mission of a lifetime.

It’s Fathers Day so everyone SHUT UP just SHUT THE FUCK UP

ace-aro-fandroid:

I would like all you motherfuckers to remember that Data is the best damn father on the damn Enterprise-D.

Seen here as the stand-in father at the birth of Troi’s weird-ass child in that weird-ass episode S2 E1 “The Child” and he’s fuckin NAILING IT

And here in S4 E11 “Data’s Day,” being the stand-in father-of-the-bride at Keiko’s wedding and doing a similarly fan-damn-tastic job

And here in S3 E16 “The Offspring” doing an absolutely kick-ass job with his own damn child that he made all by himself like the badass non-motherfucker he is

and here in S7 E19 “Genesis” with his fur-baby Spot that he incessantly refers to as his child so you better believe she’s goin’ in this motherfuckin’ list

and here in S2 E15 “Pen Pals” and S5 E11 “Hero Worship,” being the default dad to every forlorn child that comes on board the damn ship

because he’s the BEST, dammit. He’s the best and everyone knows it. He is gentle and communicative and attentive and sweet and honest and curious and strong and KIND as FUCK and he’s always TRYING HIS BEST, dammit. And that’s the kind of parental action I AGGRESSIVELY ENDORSE.

Sorry if that was super aggressive, I just really love Data, y’all.
