Guys, it is extremely important to spread information about Michael Brown’s murder and the events in Ferguson, but please, please do not spread pictures of Michael Brown’s body in the street. His family has asked multiple times for them to be taken down in an attempt to try and give him and his memory some dignity and respect.

Write your congress person. The President can’t make laws.

Congress makes laws. Your congressional representative has a postal box and an email address. Use those. Hell, copy-paste from the petition your signing, personalize it if you want and send/email that to them. Your congress person. Not the President.
Because the President cannot make laws.
Letters sent to Representative’s offices are to be sorted by an intern and are often never read by a congress person or staff member. If an office receives a high volume of letters addressing the same issue, only then are the staff members made sufficiently aware of the public interest. Then the issue is raised to the Congress person through their staff members. So this is not to say that letters are not of use, as they are still one tool available to the public in order to reach Congress members.
Phone calls to a Congress persons Washington D.C. office are the best way to get the attention of Congress as a whole. If an office receives a high volume of phone calls about one pressing issue, it can become overwhelming and will have to be dealt with. You can even ask to speak to someone other than an intern in order to raise your concerns and make your voice heard more efficiently. Ask to speak to the Legislative Assistant who handles Criminal Justice Issues or Judiciary issues. If they are unavailable, ask for their email (standard house is firstname.lastname@mail.house.gov) and the intern you are speaking with will give it to you.
Since your Congress person may be unlikely to write the law themselves, it’s important to urge your Representatives to support laws to ‘Protect Citizens from Police Violence and Misconduct’ if they are ever on the House floor.
Send letters, make phone calls, make your voice heard! Be respectful to get the best response, but stand firm in your beliefs.
As a former Congressional intern, I can answer any questions you have about communicating more efficiently with your Congress person and members of their staff, let me know!

ATTENTION EVERYONE ATTENDING SACANIME SUMMER 2014
I have a warning for anyone and everyone who plans on attending the “Whose Plotline Is It Anyway” Homestuck panel. Do NOT go to this panel.The panel host is guilty of sexually harassing minors on the panel. When confronted with several…
So I just saw this on the panel’s tumblr page. Since this update, there have been 3 confirmed victims of sexual harassment amongst the panelists; all of whom suffered the harassment from the host. All of them underage. Many of the panelists have dropped out by this point, even the host. If this panel still intends to run, I wish everyone who is left good luck. And if anyone sees the panel host at the convention I urge you to call security on them. They don’t get to just get away with running away from the situation.
I was just informed that Rose, the puppy I had for a day then had to give back, was stolen earlier this month.
She is barely two months old and looks like this
Please if you see her anywhere in either Arizona or California, inform me! (one way to tell if its her is to blow on her nose. she jumps back and passes out) please help me find Rose!
Okay she is suspected to be stolen by a drug dealer. They searched his house but couldn’t find her. She may have been traded for drugs, so please it is important that we signal boost this
