Out of Character: Portraits of This Year’s Acting Nominees

staff:

Yesterday we did a historic thing. We generated 87,834 phone calls to U.S. Representatives in a concerted effort to protect the Internet. Extraordinary. There’s no doubt that we’ve been heard.

So just to keep you updated: The well-intentioned, but immensely flawed “Stop Online Piracy Act” is still in the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing was yesterday and now members will debate and bring amendments to the bill. The Committee will reconvene in a few weeks — the date has yet to be scheduled. Nothing has been brought to a final vote. Everything is still very much in play. We’ll keep you posted on what’s going on and what you can do to help. But for now, we want to thank you.

One encouraging thing we heard yesterday:

I don’t believe this bill has any chance on the House floor. I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form.

— Representative Darrell Issa

We also want to express our tremendous gratitude to our friends at Mobile Commons who, on 30 minutes notice, hooked us up with their amazing platform (and provided their expertise) to automatically connect callers with their Representatives.

The Tumblr Community self-organizes hundreds of Meetups around the world every month. We’ll highlight some of the stories behind our favorite Tumblr Meetups here every Friday.

Bicoastal NY/LA Tumblr Play-Up

David Vienna, proprietor of popular Dad Blog The Daddy Complex, had a dream: The first-ever bicoastal Tumblr Play-Up for parents and their kids in Los Angeles and New York, to take place simultaneously. Locations were picked, a spiffy flier was created, and it became a reality.

On November 19, while Kirby Amour of Baby G! hosted Tumblr parents and babies at Brooklyn Bridge Park in NY, David hosted the LA contingent at the Pan Pacific Park.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it — if you missed it, you missed a pretty good time,” David said afterwards. “The post-game cocktail was deserved.”

Upcoming Meetups of Note

Name Adverve
Location Paris / Savannah / New York

The Adverve blog was born when advertising super bloggers Angela Natividad, Bill Green, and Darryl Ohrt left their respective individual blogs to form something more powerful. More awesome. More bloggerific. And so they combined forces to create the Adverve Blog. During daylight hours, Angela is a Community Manager and Social Strategist for CB’a Paris, Bill is a Creative Strategist at BFG, and Darryl is Executive Creative Director at Carrot Creative. Today they post the best, most interesting, and ridiculous views on what’s happening in the industry from their posts in Paris, Savannah, and New York City.
