school districts and administrators are working hard to scare students out of protesting in the wake of the Parkland shooting.
donāt fall for their bullshit. you have the right to speak up and make yourself heard. a local superintendent doesnāt overrule the first amendment, much as they might like to.
and hereās an open invitation: Iām a teacher, recent PhD, one-time educational administrator (although not in a public school), and hopefully soon to be a college professor. if you need advice on navigating the crap your school is giving you or minimizing the impact they can have on your chances of getting into the college of your dreams, message me. Iāll help you find legal resources, write admissions essays, find ways to argue for your right to protest to your school board – whatever I can do.
please signal boost this, and if youāre someone who can help (civil rights lawyer? college admissions counsellor? experienced activist leader?), join in and let young activists know what you can do to help.
Hi there is no such thing as a āpermanent recordā outside of the legal system. Your school records donāt go to the FBI or the cops.
Also if you get suspended or punished for protesting, call the ACLU. Thereās case law protecting the first amendment rights of students. They can help.
1. Call Out The U.N., make sure they direct their efforts toward this causeĀ
2. Support the International Organization For Migration (IOM).
3. Fight the āroot causesā of slavery and traffickingĀ
4. Hold social media companies accountableĀ
According to the IOM, smugglers have previously used Facebook Live to broadcast videos of imprisoned migrants in
Libya to send these videos to migrantsā family members as a way of
extorting money for their release. The IOM is asking social media
companies to ban the use of their services for the sharing of these
types of videos. You can also write to Facebook, and have this stopped.Ā
5. Donate to global anti-slavery companiesĀ
6. Ā Help raise awareness!Ā
7. Shop slave freeĀ
Atlanta is in the top 3 across the world for sex trafficking. Sad but true
So today I have sad news to bring to you, Iāve been plagied.
I had some messages there telling me if I made a game that I released lastly, knowing I didnāt I asked no and wanted to know why many people asked me this, then they gave me a link to the Facebook page of the company :
I looked on it, and directly saw the icon that is, quasi my little pigeons I animate bouncing, then I was likeĀ ā mmm ā¦ maybe they were inspired but they could ask for permission because itās way too similar for my taste, itās really like my animationsāĀ then I saw the videos and it was terrible.
You may already what I animate, but when I saw the video of the gameplay, I had no words.
All of my motions, bouncing animals, Dancing frames are exactly the sames !!
They totally copied my art !!!
So I contacted them, I wanted to be sure, they replied me that itās for game and that my art is for animation so itās not the same. SighĀ
So I told my friends about it, many tried tu put messages to discuss with them, no success. Some even were blocked when they put proof of my work.
Iām lost, I didnāt sleep last night because of this, I contacted lawyers and got some explanation, so itās still going but I have to deal with it and I wanted you to know my current situation.
I share this with you because Iām an artist, this kind of thing happen to us WAY too often and I want to act, for me, for you, for any artists on the internet!
It have to stop!
I have so many proofs on my blog, but also you know me and my art well.Ā
I canāt let this pass and stay there.
Please be aware of this and tell people that itās total plagiat of my art.
