Do you remember SOPA? The bill that would give government the right to spy on internet activity without warrant, and let them censor “unwanted” sites by blocking people’s access to them?
Meet its twin. But this time it’s all the more frightening; the House has passed it despite Obama’s threats to veto. And by an alarmingly large margin, at that. CISPA threatens the US constitution’s guarantees of due privacy and free speech, permitting any government agency to access and transfer of vast amounts of data- from internet records to even the content of personal e-mails, and all without obtaining a warrant.
What’s even more disgusting than this bill actually making through the House is some of the arguments used to help it’s passage, and comments made by one of the bill’s biggest supporters admitting the bill helps big business while insulting opposers (whose is also speculated to have personal reasons for wanting CISPA made into law).
This threatens every element of your online presence. From personal emails to general activity, any government agency will have the ability to go fishing without consequence.
Please, PLEASE, sign the following petitions. You don’t even have to be a US citizen to sign most of them or act against CISPA, and please keep in mind that if this shit flies in America, who knows what country might use its example to do it, too.

Doodling and warming up for Cap/Tony Reverse Big Bang. This happened. Deadline is tomorrow (facepalm) Also it seems I like drawing men in this pose.
Since I can’t post XMFC BB wips and that’s what I’m going to be working on for a while…HAVE A SILLY SPN SKETCH COMIC I’VE MADE. \o/
I love this to tiny little puppy bobby pieces.
A long time ago I read this fic (Erik/Charles AU of Despicable Me) without actually watching Despicable Me. Today I saw it on TV and just couldn’t get Erik!Gru out of my head (even during this ending dance sequence, ESPECIALLY during this dance sequence. Someone make me a gif of Erik doing this.) So this happened. Drawn directly with pen.
Under popular (?) demand from Imo and Maro…>_>
