Studio Ghibli films are such masterpieces that speak to empathy, connection, nature, and humanity. It's beyond disgusting seeing that art style completely bastardized by soulless generative AI and used to support fascist trolls. It's genuinely contradictory to everything Miyazaki stands for.

Sure would be nice to have an opposition party right about now

If you live in California, please join me in calling Gov Newsom at (916) 445-2841 to let him know he’s lost your support and you’ll never vote for a Democrat who doesn’t stand with trans people. If I could make the call while boarding the 105 bus you can do it too.

this does not apply if you do activism for israel, american defense companies, or anti-trans organizations

Gonna be a long day for @postleftwatch.bsky.social with all these “leftists” celebrating Trump today

How could that Trump voter have believed electing him would make IVF free? She must've been into fringey alternative media, maybe saw it from some influencer, professional media outlets would never oh no.

Trans people and our rights are not a “distraction.” We are real people who live and die and deserve care and dignity and access to public spaces.

ICYMI: We can love The Village People again. The real village ppl are not performing for the felon. Check it oot 👇🏻👇🏿👇👇🏼👇🏾🥳

Glad to see there’s still free speech (for leftists) in NC.

Trans people did not cost Democrats the election. Buying into that is giving a win to folks like Chris Rufo. Trans rights are under legislative attack. Trans people are facing threats to their safety. Hospitals and schools face bomb threats bc of anti-trans hate. So we gotta defend trans rights.

Cal/Auburn WBB then drying the hat off to be ready for tomorrow!

On this TDOV please remember my girlfriend Eden Knight, who took her own life after being coerced into being taken back to Saudi Arabia where her parents forcibly detransitioned her. Not a day goes by without you in my mind or heart. I love and I miss you so dearly. I wish I could hear you again. 🔆

i love the trans people in my life (and on my phone) more than i can say, they are all heart and vision and mettle—not to mention god's perfect shitposters. i will always be proud to stand with them, and i will remember those who don't

Awkward dancing, my specialty, is now ruined for me because I’m always self-conscious that people will think I’m doing the “Trump Dance”, thanks a lot assholes

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

Remember trans/non-binary people today, but please fight for us tomorrow and celebrate us every day after that. Especially now.

No one thinks McBride is a threat to anyone. Pulling this shit only further confirms that the anti-trans stuff was never about safety. It’s performative cruelty to dehumanize and humiliate trans people.

Hi new followers, I’m Gustav. I love Cal and Oakland. I’m a socialist and LGBT ally. Free Palestine. I also sing. Here’s my latest cover: youtu.be/yVU2HMi_C88?... I will be posting originals in 2025.

They say that God makes no mistakes but I might disagree

the worst cabinet pick so far

Resisting the blackpill, but California's Prop 6 literally used the words "prohibits slavery" and people still voted against it. Felt weird to have to do it in 2024, but I liked voting to prohibit slavery.

Promise you’ll be with me til the end. Say we’ll be together and with no regret However far away, you will remember me in time

[to Sydney Sweeney] are these millions of guys bothering you?

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Rest in Piss to Ron DeSantis' campaign - see ya!

Jun Sunoue, who created the soundtrack of my youth. (And if you played Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and the Sonic games of the 2000s he did yours too) 12 1/2 years apart. Sonic Boom in Los Angeles June 2011, Sonic Symphony in San Francisco January 2024.

christ. I was digging through my archives and found this. FROM 2014.

🤔

Even the most credulous consumer of news has to be wondering at this point why the IDF would shoot three of their own who were waving white flags and yet be completely chill about supposed Hamas fighters "surrendering" while still holding their guns.

The words of one of the Palestinians who were shot in Vermont

Finally got a keffiyeh

during the "humanitarian pause" in Gaza Israelis killed a nine year old and a fifteen year old in the West Bank and a settler in Lod violently attacked and stabbed a pregnant Palestinian citizen of Israel to death while she was taking her children to school

It really stuns me how: 1. Holocaust denial has become a way to justify the Israeli government’s actions 2. While Jews who protest the war are far more vilified than any of the people doing this stuff

Every day, you open up your computer and read the IDF doing something so violent to a person’s body that you can barely process it, and then some other person is saying “well an American student said ‘free Palestine,’ so there’s a lot of pain on both sides”

These women survived an Israeli bombing in 2006.

The U.S. establishment is so one sided in its support of Israeli apartheid that when Israeli soliders intentionally shot journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the head, killing her, most politicians still didn't unequivocally condemn the murder. She was a U.S. citizen.
