December 14th marks the day they will try to do away with Net Neutrality, this time under FCC. It’s pretty much SOPA all over again folks. In this day and age, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does pass. But what exactly is Net Neutrality you may ask? “The principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.” – Google. Basically that no CEO, government, or anyone else should be allowed to block access to your favorite sites or slow them down unless you pay up for said internet package deal (Outside your normal paying for internet). We are artist and art lovers, and we can’t let FCC take away everything that allows us freedom to use the internet, create art, express ourselves, find people that like things as much as we do. So we need your help! ~ Karlee

How does this affect us on DeviantART in general?

It could block you from finding me on here or I finding you. We may not be able to post our stuff to “approved” sites and even if we were able to, you might not be able to access them. They would be able to block or slow your internet to DeviantART. I could take hours to load one single picture. If you have the right package to even get on DeviantART at all.

How does this affect people that sell art online?
It could shut down your business and way of life. People wouldn’t be able to access your art or even find you. Slowing down everything you worked so hard to build.
What can I do to stop them from passing this?!

:iconmorloth88: Lina had a well written action plan in the picture she posted to deviantart she wants people to share. fav.me/dbv3nwu The following is what she said.

The American government is at it again.
Buried in the holiday season the FCC is voting on repealing Net Neutrality on the 14th of December.

If you are in America. Speak up for your right not to pay for free speech. Say something so that small businesses won’t have to pay to have a chance online and millions will lose their jobs. Say something for the free informations at your fingertips. Speak up for your weird hobbies and those who have nowhere else to turn but online.
They will not take it all away in one swell swoop. They will "just" have the right to.
And so they will slowly make you pay for more and more.
You, the sites, your rights, everyone will pay.

:bulletred:What you can do::bulletred:

Verizon Store Protests on December 7
www.verizonprotests.com/
At Verizon stores USAwide on December 7, one week before the vote, activists will meet at 5 p.m. local time to put pressure on Congress and demand a change. Pai used to work on Verizon’s legal team, so the choice of store is intended to “[shine] light on the corruption” and expose Pai’s conflict of interest. Events are planned across the country, including Indianapolis, New York and San Francisco, but other cities are welcome to organize their own and add it to the list. The site says the protests “will be quick, fun, and 100% legal.”

Washington, D.C. Protest on December 13
www.facebook.com/events/397458…
On December 13, the day before the vote, a team of organizers called “Defend Net Neutrality” have planned a protest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a venue as-yet undecided.

I know its been such a long time since I was last on DeviantArt. I've been going through adult life so much, time just slipped though my fingers. But I'm on now and hopefully will be more often. I'm trying to get back into my art that I have been neglecting for a long time. Hopefully things go well on that endeavor. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!


Sincerely,

Karlee

I know lately that I have been rather inactive on DeviantArt and with my art in general. Truth is I have had a really hard time staying motivated. Not to mention had a family trip and then got sick. But other then that I'm back.


I will do my best to stay active more. School starts back up today. Hopefully I can start uploading some art for you all again. See you soon.

Well I know I have not been on as much as of late. I apologize for that. You see, I've been taking care of medical tasks and such. In fact I just got my blood results back from the specialist. Everything came back positive with the exception of my cortisol (stress) levels. They were extremely high, so I will be needing to go see a Endocrinologist (hormone specialist) soon. Funny, given that this would explain a lot.

Also I have a cardiologist (heart doctor) appointment tomorrow. I suffer from heart palpitations with no known cause. Sometimes I have these attacks where my heart starts pumping real fast. It hurts at times but it is not a heart attack or stroke. So don't worry about that.

But I'm not the only one in need of medical treatment. My cat Gypsy will be seeing the vet on Friday. She has a large lump near her throat that went undetected because it was a bit deep and so centered, that it didn't seem abnormal. But the lump has grown. We are hoping to be able to fix the problem. I personally don't care how much it costs, this is my first pet I ever had. She is 19 years old; which means surgery could be risky. But she is a strong cat!

Also we are bringing in my cat Tora for a basic check up and hopefully some blood work. She is a strange schizophrenic like cat. The way she acts, I really think something is mentally or medically wrong with her. So hopefully we'll sort this all out.

Other then that I am looking for a job. Probably the most difficult of all given that my parents are hounding me about it all the time.  I don't get a break from that ever. (And they wonder why I have such high stress levels) I know I need a job. I get it. That's what adult life is all about, get a job and make money. *sigh* The problem I face is such a serious lack of motivation in anything and all I do. Even things I used to love like reading a good book, I lack motivation for that. Perhaps I suffer from depression. It seems all my friends seem to get that.

The ironic thing is the only thing that usually motivates me our my friends. But I rarely see them, they rarely come over. Truth is I miss them a lot more. Normally I hate talking about my problems but this is DArt, and its likely not as many of my real friends and definitely not my parents would see this. That's why I usually write stuff here. I do contact them now and again, however sometimes I wish they would contact me. Perhaps I'm lonely most of the time. No surprise, stuck in this house like a damn hermit.

I only get out of this place usually with my parents. We have a gym membership and while I like it, I don't like the nagging for me to go when they want to. It makes my motivation plummet. But talking about it doesn't seem to work, because all that happens is fights break out left and right. I'm just sitting here like....what the hell just happen. *sigh* Hopefully I can get a work out in without the battle.

I am eating a lot better though diet wise. The only thing I miss is dairy. The doctor has me off it for a month to check for intolerance levels. I think at this point it only happens once in a while with milk. Oh well. I miss stuff like cheese though, and frozen custard. 20 more days and then it will be over! However then she'll try to put me on a gluten free diet. I'm all like well...hell no....the dairy free and good diet is hard enough!

Sorry for the rant if you could call it that. I'll try to get to updating and doing things more often. I just have such a lack of motivation even with art right now. Its fascinating how many ideas I have going in my head, but can't seem to get them to paper.
