Net Neutrality Is Important and It’s Kinda Stupid We Have to Keep Fighting for It
Net Neutrality is important for the future of the internet. For smaller websites like this, it’s absolutely vital. If you have a moment to check out this website and send a letter to the FCC and congress about its importance, that would be great:
Net neutrality is the basic principle that protects our free speech on the Internet. “Title II” of the Communications Act is what provides the legal foundation for net neutrality and prevents Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from slowing down and blocking websites, or charging apps and sites extra fees to reach an audience (which they then pass along to consumers.)
For those looking for more info, John Oliver’s segment is a good place to start and his follow-up from this year talks about how the new administration is making this a thing again.

Baggage Release New EP
Baggage have debuted their new EP, The Good That Never Comes, on Bandcamp. The band features Jonathan Diener, formerly of The Swellers, who had this to say about the new release:
This release is a “Pay What You Want” download and all of the money from this month is going directly into getting toiletries for Flint Water Crisis victims. At the end of the month we’ll be taking the money and shopping for the most cost effective way to fill our van with goods and dropping it off to the Bethel United Methodist Church in Flint where they have a donation station for residents. The money won’t be going to some organization that has millions of dollars saved up, this is going directly to a cause where we know it will be taken care of.
