"The left is going to miss out by opposing AI" these people are you enemy they are propagandists for the tech fascist ruling class they are Donald Trump with a human face, every word they say is a lie you cannot engage with them in good faith Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans

watched this movie on my flight back to the states and i still just can’t believe how ethereally talented james baxter is-

Animation by James Baxter* | The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) #penciltest #sakuga #genga #2danimation

leaving germany in less than 24 hours and it’s kinda surreal? i knew it wasn’t going to last forever but i think i started getting settled despite myself it feels like it went by too fast

i haven’t really been up to speed on individual social media culture since like- tumblr circa 2018ish, before the porn ban all this to say idk who or what a chiitan is but they liked one of my posts before. from what i’ve gathered through context that’s a good thing on bluesky lol

damn- i gained like ten new followers this week,,, uh hi random internet people! i’ll try to post more art soon ✌️

i’m not immune to propaganda, and by propaganda, i mean finally drawing project hail mary doodles #phm #gracerocky #savestars

vauge current animatic ideas lung focused: how haven’t i seen anyone do something with this song, it’s literally about a giant sea monster?? bloodymary: this feels too obvious but also i’ve only seen edits to the song, wanna draw smth original phm focused: highkey a gracerocky save stars ship mv

phm/lung n bloodymary has given me so many brainwürms this past month. if i wasn’t fully in preprod mode for my thesis i’d be working on the animatic ideas i have right now- maybe i’ll take a week off from work once i get back to the US and do some boards for one of these cause i think it’d pop off

i had a whole rant on it but my friend put it more succinctly - FNAF is just harry potter for queer furries much like harry potter i find it insane people are too nostalgia blind for franchise they wanna actively give their hard earned queer cash to a creator who explicitly wants us dead

Hey so what the fuck

slowly but surely- things are coming together! #indieanimation #goth #victorian #thesisfilm #mightdeletelater

still not over the fact a random lady came up to me to sign a petition for the deaf outside the lourve on monday and just?? stole two $20s from me i clearly didn’t want to give her?? i may be getting an mfa, i may have a 4.0, i may be very good at academics- but goddamn i’m not very street smart,,

when i was looking for gender therapists at 18, i had a guy named jric (like eric but with a j) tell me: “honestly most “trans” kids are just doing it for the attention they get. you *might* be one but statistically you’ll regret ruining your feminine body later” we only had one session together.

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

girl dinner? nah got me that ✨ghibli dinner✨

i’ve been in europe for a little over a month and it’s been so wonderful, but every day that goes by is an awful reminder i have to go back to the states soon- it’s like experiencing normalcy for the first time before remembering you gotta go home to the twilight zone ,,,at least i live in nyc ;v;

The inferiority complex everyone has with California and LA is palpable every time I travel to more rural parts of the US. It's subtle, but always there. There's always a conversation where someone has to rag on it somehow, even just a little bit. Like a small dig, and I have to accept it.

"Death of the author" is a literary theory that emphasizes the personal interaction and connection to an artistic work over the concept of an authorial ultimate meaning. "Separate the art from the artist" is a catchphrase to mumble to yourself so you can justify buying more Harry Potter shit.

one thing they don’t tell you about getting your animation mfa is all the writing you have to do for production logistics and grant proposals-

Oh no, they deleted the post! *Anyway-*

w....wait.... you mean to tell me.... gulps..... putting money into the arts.......is profitable and..........produces............g-good outcomes for everyone?

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

but instead of actually doing shit to fight against fascism, this feckless coward who’s been playing ads for his reelection since i was a goddamn elementary schooler is voting to condemn socialism. you are a disgrace of a representative.

The American people want an end to Donald Trump’s illegal, costly, and reckless war with Iran. It is a grave mistake to abandon diplomacy for open-ended chaos and conflict in the Middle East.

i just had mexican food in germany. my friend told me the guy said it was “extremely authentic.” as a californian- i can feel my ancestors judging me from land of the dead 🙂‍↕️

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

genuinely happy to have spent my fourth of july in europe cause now i’m not expected to celebrate something i know isn’t worth celebrating.

gay stuff

“trans people always knew they were trans” not true. some of us dated other trans people who toxically undermined and dismissed our own budding sense of identity, exploration of gender, and experience of transness as being illegitimate or fake for not replicating their own!!

"Trans people always knew they were trans" Not true! Some of us were really stupid!!!!
