Note to self: REMEMBER THIS

This is an excellent PSA. Writers and artists of Tumblr, just do your own thing. Some people will like it, some people won’t. Not everyone will like it, and you don’t have to put your head into a blender when that happens. Just remember the cardinal rules.

1. Don’t try to be like anyone else or follow their style. Heed your own voice. Don’t be a second-rate Neil Gaiman, be a first-rate YOU.

2. Don’t quit. The most successful writers and artists I know aren’t necessarily the most talented, but they are the most persistent.

3. It’s natural to feel self-doubt. Recognise it for what it is: a push to improve yourself and never stay stagnant. If you don’t hear your inner critic at all, that means your ego has completely taken over and is romping around like a T-Rex on the loose.

4. Don’t compare yourself to others. Easier said than done, I know, I do it all the time. “Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.” 

5. Don’t forget: this is all supposed to be fun. The moment it stops being fun, then it’s time to either move on to something else, or re-examine your motives.

I’m reblogging for that commentary as well. Since I know some people who follow me probably should check it out. Be yourself people.

Commentary!

Thought you guys here would take interest in this.

Did you know that in Japan there are 3 ways to say “I love you”? You say “Daisuki” for friends and guys you like, you say “Aishiteru” for a more serious relationship and you say “Koishiteru” to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. And they follow this rule. That is one of the things I admire about them. They didn’t make “I love you” lose its meaning like us.

Whenever someone draws me anything I try my hardest to write a really appreciative comment, but truthfully I never feel like it’s enough. I always worry that I am coming off ungrateful! My other fear is that I might come off insincere.

It is actually really impossible for me…

ANONYMOUS - STOP CISPA

Greetings from the interwebz,

It is no longer news to us that, in our fight against the injustices of governments, Anonymous activist cells and fellow activists have lost some members to their never ending struggle for power. We are all constantly under threats of surveillance, arrest, and possible violation of our fundamental rights.

A new threat from the government of the United States has now surfaced. As anonymity online becomes less prevalent every day due to laws and legislation that attempt to reveal our identities, our ideals and motivation to change the world still sail strong. It is not acceptable to let governments control us, as the reason for their establishment was to protect and serve the people - not to control them.

Right now, the government of the United States is attempting to pass the “Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act” (also known as CISPA). This act would allow for the US government to monitor what we hear, see, and read. It is not allowed for your postman to read your mail - why should this be any different on the internet?

The US government attempts to control you by attempting to gain as much knowledge about your daily lives as possible. In the case of CISPA this would be done through, for example, a technique known as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that allows for monitoring all of your activity on the internet. Ultimately, the more information a government has about its citizens, the more potential there is for abuse, as has been shown throughout history. To top it off, there has never been a provable advantage in the field of national security throughout proposals like these, and their only purpose appears to be controlling citizens.

Allowing this bill to pass would literally put the United States on equal footing with countries like China and Iran in the field of monitoring communications, and it would likely fuel attempts throughout the world to introduce similar proposals. The only way to prevent this act from becoming reality, is by talking about it! Make people aware of its existence and what it means.

We are Anonymous,
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
