FORTUNE'S MINSTREL

poems and writings by Charlie weeks

Today’s the day. The day you help save the internet from being ruined.

Ready? 

Yes, you are, and we’re ready to help you.

(Long story short: The FCC is about to make a critical decision as to whether or not internet service providers have to treat all traffic equally. If they choose wrong, then the internet where anyone can start a website for any reason at all, the internet that’s been so momentous, funny, weird, and surprising—that internet could cease to exist. Here’s your chance to preserve a beautiful thing.)

This is serious guys, gotta get on this. We can’t let this wonderful invention of the computer and the internet, which is filled with more potential to take human creativity and innovation to places nobody has dreamed of yet–slow down that great wonder of humanity for the purpose of something so detached and so-often used to alienate and dehumanize as money.

Just to benefit the corporations, so they can continue to indulge themselves with the inherent vacuousness of ‘more money.’

Humanity can’t further evolve with such inner imbalance taking over.
