I know. I need to be posting more game-related stuff. But, well…
cwnl:
Did we break the ONA Issues Tumblr? We logged in today and the text on all of our previously published posts were blacked out.
On second look, we saw that Tumblr is raising awareness about the Protect-IP Act and the Stop Online Privacy Act, which are being debated in Congress today. As users log in to their Tumblr dashboards, posts are blacked out as if censored and there is a link at the top of the page which takes users to a post hosted on Tumblr’s site encouraging users to take action.
Awesome! Way to go Tumblr!
And Tumlbr-ers, please take a minute to call your rep, and an additional minute to sign these two petitions:
http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-internet-control-bill-now
http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/pipa_house/Together we can save the internet!
You wouldn’t want anyone subject to it being filtered as they spoke to you in real life, why should it be acceptable on the internet? Sign the petitions, call your representative, hound their life if you need to, spread the word to family and friends even acquaintances. Let them in on the gravity of the situation and how they can help. If this doesn’t get the support it needs, we’re looking at a more Orwellian future than we already have with the suppression of public assembly.
JFYI logging out and logging back in clears the “censorship”. Y’know for after you’ve gotten the point and just want to get back to tumblring.

And I should be talking about comics…but, well, this is important.
