imagine… Alma Deutscher: Finding Cinderella

Musical prodigy Alma Deutscher aged 11 (seen here with younger sister Helen), is staging her first full-length opera, Cinderella.

Composer, pianist, violinist… Alma learned to read music before she could read words. She began playing the piano aged two and at four years old she was composing her own music.

Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

  • Article 13 just got passed.
  1. Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

Keep reading

I don’t live in Europe but this needs to be spread

I’m spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really can’t imagine how the future would look like.

I don’t live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!

Because they still have to vote for it two more times.. maybe .. that’s why?

All you Americans who are saying “I dont live in europe, but…”

You do understand how the internet *works*, right? You *WILL* feel the backlash from this if things go through the way they are going now.

this needs to be spread. article 13 will effect the world.

saintbilliejoe:

Article 13 is bad.

Article 13 will destroy millions of people’s jobs. Article 13 is a threat to artists and online creators.

  • Article 13 is a threat to memes.
  • Article 13 is a threat to YouTube.
  • Article 13 is a threat to musicians.
  • Article 13 is a threat to the Internet.

Article 13 will hurt North America and Europe alike.

FUCKING TALK ABOUT THIS SHIT AND STAND TO MAKE A CHANGE THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE A RESIDENT OF EUROPE, THIS SHIT WILL AFFECT YOU. IT WILL COME BACK AROUND.

If you care at all about freedom of speech, freedom of internet, job pools, artists, creators, even fucking memes

TAKE A STAND.

This shit is serious. Once the freedom of the internet is gone, it cannot be taken back. People bitch and moan about no one doing anything while still doing nothing themselves. Now is the time to change. Stand up and call upon your local government. Find resources to help those who will be directly affected and protect them from this disturbing article’s intended purpose.

Do not allow this bullshit “step towards a more helpful copyright law” to pass.

Just a little taste of what’s going on at my workplace right now.
We have been fighting for a raise because a lot of people who work at Disney have to work 60+ hours a week just to get by.
What was their response? “Ok, everyone gets a bonus. $1000. But not all at once. $500 now and $500 at the end of the year.” (in case some people get fired or quit, so they don’t have to pay the full amount to those people).
Of course, we were like “No, that’s not what we said we wanted. We want a PERMANENT RAISE.”
So Disney was like OK, fine, whoever is NOT part of the union fighting for a raise gets the $1000 bonus 🙂
Meanwhile, we are still fighting for a raise…

I’m sorry, this has 62 notes and that is INCREDIBLE BULLSHIT.

I’ve been watching Disney since I was 4 years old. So basically since i was 4 years old, Disney’s been making a profit off of me; the same way they make a profit off of the average 4 year old. 

I don’t care what dystopian madness of a world you live in, if your primary audience is CHILDREN, you are ethically freakin obligated to behave and treat your employees in a humane manner.

You don’t get to make literally billions of dollars off of kids’ wonder and awe and hope in the world while exploiting and contributing to the suffering of 100,000+ human beings.

You don’t get to fucking do that.

>:[ spread this. What the fuck, Disney?

women who perform sexual acts on underage boys deserve to be thrown under the prison never to see the light of day again right next to the men who perform sexual acts on underage girls

and if you disagree you don’t deserve to be around kids. i wouldn’t trust you with my toenail much less a child

if you disagree you can unfollow me right now

your indifference to pedophiles online gives them a platform to continue to hurt and groom children. you spreading a pedophile’s art or writing “because it’s good” gives them a way to draw in younger fans to prey on. your insistence that “not all pedophiles are bad” is an attempt to humanize and normalize pedophilia and that means that you are part of the problem even if you are not a pedophile yourself. the only way to support children is to be against pedophiles in every space, online or irl.
