Tumblr’s got an amazing net neutrality thing going on. Their slow-lane warning thing had a form that automatically connected me - by phone - with my senator’s office. And the senator’s office had a real human who picked up on the first ring.
Not, of course, that I expect my senator to do anything good or helpful, ever, but I feel better knowing I did a tiny bit. But tumblr’s process is really amazing; you should log in and try it just to see it in action.

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

Here’s your chance to preserve a beautiful thing.)
