    Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees homosexuals on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees gays for a quarter,’ you’d say.

    Putting a quote by avowed socialist martin luther king on your poster about which credit cards you accept is peak capitalism. if you threaten the social order they’ll kill you, then they’ll shove their ideology into your dead mouth as though you agreed with them all along.

      It is one hell of a reach to attribute “We accept you” in this image to MLK. Especially when he was famously homophobic as fuck. Not to mention the phrase “We accept you” I can’t find EVER attributed to MLK. It’s way too short a quote and too common a quote.

        The MLK quote is under the listed cards. Of course, he’s referring to Christian “love,” which is why it’s okay to hate the gays.

      When an image is uploaded the hosting service compresses it to lower the file size at the cost of quality. Normally the quality drop would be hard to notice, but do it over and over again and eventually it builds up. I wonder what generation this upload is on. It’s ironic that digital media was supposed to promise perfect replication quality but over compression has actually made it worse than analog
