Vulnerable patients are getting signed up for medical credit cards—in some cases while they’re still on anesthesia.

These cards are creating a new frontier of medical debt.

Some patients are even getting sued over debt from cards they don’t remember signing up for.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

"So, you're a Brush bearer, an Artist"
"Are you still painting?"
"I am"
"Hah! No way ! with the world on the verge of collapse and hoe fading day by day, you think art still matters?"
"Now more than ever..."

Piccolo being a fusion and shipping him with anyone is extremely amusing to me. He truly is: buy one boyfriend, get two homies for free.

I think I cooked with this.

#dragonball #dragonballz #piccolo #piccoloxjanet

A sky-centric drawing. It's dusk, with the sun starting to set; the sky is blue with hints of pink and purple. Below are clouds, ranging from dark blue to soft pink to cream. In the center is Piccolo and Janet, who are floating in the air just above the clouds. He's holding her tightly, and she has her legs wrapped around his waist. There's soft yellow light illuminating them.

Did a concept for Android 18. She's a cutie.

#dragonball #dragonballz #dbz #android18

Symmetrical bust of Android 18. She's wearing a dark salmon colored shirt. Her hair is light blonde, cut below the ear, and she's wearing golden earrings. On her right side (our left), the haircut comes down, covering part of her face, and there's a single strand of hair coming down across her forehead. She's staring at the viewer with a stern frown and narrowed eyes.

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany.

If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

The vote on Chat Control is in October, I believe, and there's only 7 countries opposed. But there's a whole lot more that are undecided since this all started.

I know it's felt a lot like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. But keep calling and mailing, please!

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
