Eu. - Blog Posts

Que porcaria de atualização é essa TUMBLR?! não consigo responder nada direito! Desculpe anônimo, esse site ta uma bagunça. Enfim, vocês estão prontos para um desabafo?

Eu sei que demorei para responder essa ask mas é pq eu não acreditei que alguém me escreveu ela, sabe? Acho que recebi ela na quinta ou na sexta, o dia tava corrido e eu li ela no dia que recebi, e to até agora tentando processar ela pq sei lá, eu TRAVEI! Passei um temporada da minha vida de design de capas tentando me encaixar em um estilo de capa para agradar as pessoas por medo de não ser aceito, sofri muito nesse processo e isso desencadeou minha ausência até esse ano. Esse tempo me fez muito bem, estou melhor da cabeça e mais resiliente eu diria. Voltei para essa casa com medo de não lembrarem de mim (até pensei em apagar a conta de fingir que nunca tive esse user kkkk que viagem) lembrar disso é estranho agora, nunca estive tão bem se tratando dos designs que faço e sempre que recebo elogios como esse, eu fico bem feliz e empolgado (é como se o mundo parasse eu pudesse respirar mais aliviado (?) acho que fico assim pq eu finalmente estou me sentindo bem com edições, coisa que antes não acontecia… não me entendam errado, não tem nada a ver com projetos, blogs ou fandom que fazia, tudo era sobre meu estilo. amo quando falam dos meus tons terrosos, e de como sou sempre um tagarela nos meus posts kkkkk a culpa não é minha! Fica tão vazio o post... Só queria agradecer você por me lembrar de todo esse processo da minha vida, estou muito feliz que tenho pessoas como você para mostrar as coisinhas que faço e espere um pouco, pretendo abrir pedidos de capa no meio para o fim de janeiro e PRECISO de um pedido seu <3

I reblogged your post Article 13 but if i may ask, which country is this article for?? you said if you live in Europe so is this something currently happening in Europe? im sorry if this is a dumb question, i just assumed automatically that this was something happening in the US due to our recent scare with internet freedom/neutrality and i just want to be clear where this is happening so i dont spread misinformation! Thank you for answering and have an awesome day!

That’s not a dumb question at all! Article 13 was passed by a group called EU, the European Union. It’s main use is to protect people that fall under the European copyright law. Unfortunately however the European copyright laws are a lot stricter and different than copyright laws in America. The difference being in America, we have the “Fair Use” law while Europe has the “Permitted Use” law. Which sounds relatively the same but there’s a big difference with Europe’s law. With “Permitted Use” you need to have permission from a company, government, or artist to post something on the internet. In the U.S, “Fair Use” is used when someone uses/talks about a product for educational, commentary/criticism, research, or journalism. But the reason why there are so many loopholes in “Fair Use” is so that it can remain flexible for the following generations. “Permitted Use” is only meant for parody, quotation, private copying, or classroom use. Again, it might sound similar but it’s not. Europe doesn’t allow that kind of flexibility that the U.S does. Their politics simply doesn’t allow for it since their policies are much, much stricter. For example, if you were to use a meme about Super Smash Bros., the US would say “Well it’s not really based commentary or criticism but it’s not like this person is trying to steal Nintendo’s video game and trying to pass it off as their own so it’s Fair Use.” But Europe would say (as the doctrine is written) “Is this meant for educational purposes? Does it quote something? Is it a parody? No? Then you get a copystrike.” (I know the “parody” part sounds confusing but in the Copyright in the Information Society Directive [2001], it’s only considered parody if it’s in the same formula like in a parody song. Think of Weird Al Yankovic. It needs to have lyrics that are in the same melody and it needs to make fun of the original work.) The reason why this affects the U.S as well is because websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are used in places around the world, including Europe. So when different countries have different laws, big social media companies will go for the strictest laws to keep every internet user equal instead of going through the hard labor of making completely different polices for different versions of said site to other countries. That’s the reason why you’ve probably gotten the “We’ve updated our privacy policy” email from all your social media accounts in September. Why? Because the EU just decided to pass Article 13 and everyone of those sites are going to comply with those new rules in order to stay alive. I think the biggest problem with all these new internet laws that are popping up like what happened with the FCC last year with “Net Neutrality” and now EU with “Article 13” is that we have these older generations of political figures that just simply don’t understand what the internet is meant to do and why the rules we have now are completely fine the way they are. Really makes you think. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I hope I answered your question! Also, I hope you have a nice day today too! If you have more questions feel free to DM me.

hey fellow Europeans (EU), just a friendly and mildly concerned reminder that in less than a month, the European elections are taking place. it's an election with a historically low turnout, but one that is just as important as any other, if not more. the composition of the EU parliament determines the political direction of the EU, and has an impact on all 27 countries through directives and regulations that get voted.

we cannot let far right extremist parties get an even bigger stronghold there than they already do. sadly, there are very significant threats of exactly that happening from many countries.

so please, if you are an EU citizen living in the EU and are of voting age, check the modalities to vote in your country of residence, and make sure to make your voice heard.

More information on the foreign agent law.

Dude, how can it be that every single fucking thing about US politics trends on here immediately, yet when 27 countries in the EU vote and there's a historic, alarming lurch to the right (far right parties have won the elections in Italy, Austria and France), it's not even trending? In Germany, the AFD, a right-wing populist, anti-democratic, racist party with a wing that is officially extremist (read: Nazis) and is in parts monitored by the office for the protection of the constitution, is the second strongest party (also among 17-24 year olds!). Guess I'll die.

Edit, because so many people in the tags are like "because most of tumblr is US-American":

The point of this post was never "why aren't Americans talking about this". The point was to ask why only American politics (and sometimes UK politics) ever make it to the trending page at all. It's not like only Americans can make things trend on tumblr. Eurovision is trending every year despite Americans not giving a fuck about it. The point is, why aren't the people directly affected by this election posting about it more? Sure, it would be great if more Americans would care about foreign politics the way everyone else is forced to care about US politics, but this post was never about Americans in the first place.

Edit two: tumblr is not a news source! I've seen some comments on how I should've included more info in the original post. The thing is, this was a post where I just wanted to vent my own personal grievances and I had no idea it would blow up like this (which is great, I'm glad people are talking about this topic!). If you want to read up on the election, please go to serious news sources and not tumblr.
