was it my fault? for loving what couldn’t be reached? many people would say that it was all a tragedy. but i knew the agony i would face, i knew i would burn. yet i let you reduce me to ashes. melt my WINGS to my flesh. how could a mere human ever fly so hard by a god? the great apollo, high on his golden throne, gifted me with wings to reach for the daystar- but they were too frail, too fragile, they weren’t meant to bear your splendor. thus the strings loosened, feathers floated, fiercely burning, and melted wax scorched my skin, to forever display my pride. you never meant to hurt me, but there was nothing you could do. so you watched helplessly as i fell, fell, fell, fell into the unforgiving deep. gods called it arrogance, but I was not afraid. no, i laughed the whole way down. because even for second, my fingerprints met the sun’s, and as for all u have fallen, still i flew. flying, failing, falling.

Okay, everyone, the FCC voted to repeal the net neutrality laws. But before you panic understand that there won’t be sweeping changes overnight. This will take a few months to go into true effect because the “new rules” have to be made.
And during that time we still have work to do. This isn’t over.
The FCC will immediately be facing lawsuits against this. And since they don’t care about public opinion, the court room is our best chance to get through to them. And on top of that, the people who DO listen to public outcry are your representatives and YOU NEED TO CONTACT THEM. Send letters. Call. Email. Fax. Congress can nullify actions by agencies like the FCC and over 80% of the public is in FAVOR of net neutrality. THIS IS THE TIME TO MAKE A BIG STINK. NOW. RIGHT NOW.
Attend the protests that are coming up near you. Contact your reps. Share links and ways to fight back and save this. Don’t be discouraged by the vote okay because this isn’t over until WE decide it is!

BUT THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO CALL. TWITTER ETC ARE INEFFECTIVE AND LETTERS ARE SO NUMEROUS THAT THEY CANNOT BE GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION. PHONE CALLS MUST BE DEALT WITH WHEN THEY HAPPEN AND *CANNOT* BE IGNORED.
CALL YOUR REPS. AND IF YOU CANT HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP YOU DO IT OR DO IT ON YOUR BEHALF.
CALL YOUR REPS.
