@LaurieMMarshall @freeloaderSB @mailibradley @Rschooley I am an artist as well and contact the owner of photo if I can to get permission - only been knocked back once - or use the sites that have Copyright/royalty free photos (you can usually download 15 before having to pay a monthly fee).
@Degree_sLays@AJS71 @vernajo77 @Shelbykinsxo You do understand that you being autistic is of no relevance to the person you demean when you call them this word though, right?
@MasonBuffy08 @Eiknarf04 @AJS71 @vernajo77 @Shelbykinsxo You are wrong. This word is akin to the "r" word in Australia. It has been for over 50 years. Maybe you were unaware of that but now you know.
@vernajo77 @Shelbykinsxo OMG - your ignorance and arrogance is revolting. Young people with disability are sick of being demeaned by people like you. You want real things - watch the face of a child being called this word. It is very bloody real for them.
@Slidee710 @AJS71 @vernajo77 @Shelbykinsxo You are wrong. I am over 50 and if you used this word in the playground when I was a child you would be severely punished. It is similar to using the "r" word. If you were unaware of that - now you know.
@MelanieZarecor@Shelbykinsxo Hang on everyone! Melanie doesn't find it offensive so that's it - conversation over. She thinks her crotch fruit aren't hurt by words therefore no one else's are allowed to be.
@klem_fandango@PixTheCat@Shelbykinsxo Actually being called this word has a direct effect on a young person with a physical disability. It is demeaning and cruel. Educating one artist to who will educate others does have a direct impact on those demeaned by it's use.
Going downtown to protest the NRA & GOP in #Houston tomorrow? Please be prepared and take care of yourself. Allow me to offer tips based on my decades of experience as a lawyer (tho this is NOT legal advice), activist, and person who hates hot weather. A thread:
@LouGkikas@thedailybeast You have to complete training and demonstrate that you can use it safely before driving a car and be licensed (including third party insurance). your taxes go to ensuring that the roads are safe to drive on for other users and yourself - none of this applies to guns
