He was asked by leaders of his region to apologize; he told them no. If you have any interaction with Rev. David Black, it should only be to ask him why you’re reading about the fucked up shit he did in his church and in the name of God. There are so many other clergy y’all can platform.

Your reminder that Rev. David Black, who went viral out of the Broadview protests, is one of those men who can get shot in the head by cops but can’t own up to his pathologically abusive behavior as a pastor. Read why his region pays for my therapy and had to ask him to stop showing up at my job.

David doesn’t have the tact or discernment to pull off something like that. Read about why his Presbytery pays for my therapy, why they had to tell him to stop showing up at my job here, and why you shouldn’t platform him here: sybilonbigwater.substack.com/p/david-blac...

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion

It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."

Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."
