And good luck suing when disabled people are much more likely to be in poverty

I never want to hear an American say we can’t afford universal healthcare ever again

I just learned that chile has universal healthcare and while I’m so happy for them I hate my fucking countries government so fucking much

The “Trump blew Bill” thing is advantageous in a bunch of ways but my favorite is that, aside from Trump, it’s a genuinely victimless joke. Bill Clinton doesn’t give a shit if you believe Trump sucked him off. In fact, I promise you the man feels alive right now in a way he hasn’t for 30 years.

Believe it or not you can in fact talk about economic affordability and human rights at the same time, Pete.

Like, I tried Buddhism for a while in college hoping it would help my crippling anxiety and you would honestly be surprised at how mysoginistic that religion often is.

I hate when people say that Christianity is the sole bad evil religion and every other religion is a wonderful happy belief system free of problems. Pretty much every organized religion is fucked. You don’t have to take my word for it. People have left these religions, talk to them about it.

Tell me you have never listened to an atheist who has left a non Christian religion without telling me you’ve never listened to an atheist who has left a non Christian religion

You should not be allowed to tell children things that aren’t demonstrably true, which includes every religon unless and until you can prove god is real live on Cspan in front of Congress.

Hangon, lemme translate 'reporter trying to downplay' speak for you: "A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends" is actually "A billionaire pedophile sex trafficker emailing a reporter talking about children he abused."

I don’t have anger issues. I have an appropriate amount of anger for living in a country where proven pedophilles are given the highest offices in the government and the government attempted to starve 42 million people so that they could let peoples healthcare costs quadruple.

Better: children. They’re children. Bloody children

Yes, that is a red flag for a scam artist. The acceptable version of this is “no refunds if YOU cancel when I’ve already started the work”. That’s more than fair. But if the artist doesn’t do the commission for whatever reason I do expect my money back.

What I also like about this plan is that it additionally forces every homophobic artist to publically admit to being homophobic, after which they can be put on a fun name and shame blacklist

I have a plan. Continue to use Vgen, however before commissioning anyone new send this message: Unfortunately due to a recent decision by Vgen I am now forced to ask every artist separately whether they provide services to members of the lgbt community before commissioning them for the first time.

Ive been pretty quiet about my issues with vgen because im just one person and dont think I necessarily represent every artists experience. But I will say putting aside all those issues im pretty disappointed in how they handle discrimination towards customers

I’m just so tired man. I can’t boycott literally everything. I’d tell you to commission artists directly but literally every payment processor is engaging in censorship right now. The fucking grocery store funds Israel. How do I subsist on air until they find out how to make us pay for that too

If you were sensible and did not see the twitter drama because you were not on twitter like a sane person, the inciting incident to all of this is an artist refusing to draw a same sex couple due to their religion (Islam in this particular case) 1/2

Thank you, here is the version with alt text.

I unfortunately cannot do this myself as I do not and have never lived in Canada, but If you are a Canadian resident who has been denied art services on the Canada based Vgen platform because you are lgbt you may want to consider filing a formal complaint: www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

People actually died because hospitals were discriminating against gay people in the 1980s. A lot of people died. This isn’t “one poor artist with just an opinion.” This is a huge societal problem that is getting worse in multiple countries and needs to be nipped in the bud right now.

The number of people claiming to be lgbt but are suddenly now fine with businesses discriminating against lgbt people is so wild to me. Actually fuck off and don’t come back until you’ve done some reading on gay history for the love of god.

Go back to twitter

1. Fuck off back to twitter, we don’t want you here 2. The pure laziness of not bothering to take the listings down

@vgen.co by allowing artists to discriminate against lgbt people on your Canada incorporated online business, there is a high chance you are violating the Canadian Human Righfs Act.

I deleted my last post because I realized Vgen admitted to allowing lgbt discrimination in response to a support ticket on discord instead of publicly on twitter like cowards, so I can’t fault artists for not knowing what is going on immediately

So Vgen openly allows discrimination against lgbt people. Just so y’all know.

This is you

I have reached out to both the Vgen account broadly and a Vgen cofounder directly asking if lgbt discrimination is allowed on their platform. They have, I believe deliberately at this point, refused to answer my question. I think I know the answer at this point

I wish I could do more to improve the country than insult homophobes on twitter. It really makes me sad that I don’t really have the power to do anything else.

Turns out when you offer something the people actually need and want they’ll turn out to vote for you. Who would have guessed?

Life hack: if you have a specific treatment you think would be a good idea, tell your doctor that a previous doctor did it and it helped or that they suggested it, even if it isn’t true. They’ll take you more seriously.

I think we need to change the word narcissist because I don’t think Narcissus has anything on Trump at this point

I’m not saying you need to buy guns, especially if you don’t know how to shoot them, but every democracy loving person should at minimum get a copy of Sun Tzus The Art of War and read it.

I feel bad for people with voices that sound ai generated because I ain’t watching your videos. Not even if you have video of you anymore unfortunately.

People always say "stop doomscrolling," nobody ever says "stop the Doom" Doesn't even cross their minds.

Silksong ? 🪡

Let's say it again: 1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off. 2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off. It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

“Should Dems tone down their rhetoric?” Um, the President shared a meme of him invading Chicago with military helicopters and renamed the Department of the Defense to the Department of War. And that’s just this week.

a good thread proving the meanest thing you can say about charlie kirk is just quoting him verbatim

Donald trump said that domestic violence should not count in crime statistics and has openly pressured state governments to rig the midterms. There hasn’t been enough rioting, actually.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

Reskeeted with alt text because AGREED.

It shouldn’t be a ridiculous thing to say “the people who make sure the blood that will go into your body if you’re hit by a car is free of HIV and other diseases should be able to afford rent”. And yet this is America so here we are 🤷
