timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 22hAlso, it’s almost never a good idea to sue over something like this because it brings attention to the issue. No one will remember this in two days, but if you sue it’s a live issue until the suit is over 000

timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I got my share of “kikes” before peacing out. Amusingly, I also got my account locked for using the word “trans” with no context to see what would happen 000
timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Sorry, that should read “kike,” not “like.” Autocorrect still thinks the former isn’t a word 010
timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I deleted my Twitter account after someone called me a like and it was ruled not a TOS violation.

timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Fun, speaking up in favor of the site where me being called a kike was ruled not a violation of terms, but me using the word “trans” with no other context got my account locked for a week, definitely a normal and decent thing to do 000

timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026“4 years post graduation” is the dumbest possible measure. Law school is 3 years and often not started immediately, while med school is 4 years and you don’t make serious money for 3-7 years after that.

timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I mean, Republican VPs are usually the shrewd ones covering up for their stupid but charismatic Presidents.

timmis.bsky.social @timmis.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Woah, late season 2 is when it started getting good again! Beyond Life and Death is arguably the best episode in the whole series, and even what comes before is fine as long as you skip over any of the James out of town scenes 010
