There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Every single person involved in the lighting of Superman (2025) has my devotion and respect. You really Did That and it was so poignant and perfect and I love you.

Quite suddenly I completely understand why someone would perform dark rituals to bring back the dead.

Every time I hear some new cut on research grants from the Fed, I can't help but think "ah, so this is how Batman villains are made."
NGL I'm kinda hoping for some (PhD ONLY!!)

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

The problem with doing silly little world building projects is that it poisons your brain to reject the whimsy of the story.

Like yes I am questioning the logistics but that's because I have brainrot, not a fault in the narrative (nor the fault of the author).

My only beef with AO3 is whoever decided to combine the Breath of the Wild tag with Tears of the Kingdom to make The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom.
Villain behavior.

Tears of the Kingdom is much more enjoyable now that the US is shredding itself apart. Yeah yeah there's a powerful man using stolen power to change the landscape of Hyrule but I'm just out here helping people with their daily needs whilst prepping to kill the abominations he's unleashed.

That being said: if someone proves themselves to be acting in Bad Faith, then it costs you nothing to have acted in good faith. We live in a world where screenshoting exists, you are capable of disengaging without poisoning yourself. Yes this goes for me too.

I say this as someone who is genuinely fairly intelligent and also very stupid: sometimes brains are dumb, and people misunderstand or misinterpret. Instead of going on the offense, acting in good faith is paramount to actually clarifying misunderstandings.

You have people on one side desperately trying to earnestly and sincerely communicate, while on the other side are people who cannot take that sincerity at face value, because everyone's become poisoned with the thought people must be purposely misunderstanding.

While I don't want to place the blame solely at the feet of this cycle, I do think it's integral to the entire landscape of human communication. Sincerity and authenticity are paramount to interpersonal communication - when that breaks down, everyone is left floundering.

Worst thing about social media is that it trains you to be on the defensive for Bad Faith. This, in turn, turns YOU into a Bad Faith interpreter, thus completing the ourosboros.

Exactly what I was thinking might happen. Their anti-trans animus is infecting other cases. Trump is biting off too much too fast.

My hope is that all of this factors into some of the fence-sitting justices on SCOTUS for big upcoming cases.

I love when people point out that Bruce Wayne dropped out of medical school as a "gotcha!" for why his kids can just not go to college.
I don't think it occurs to most people that to Go To Med School, you usually need a Bachelor's first. #BatmanPosting #YesIDoFandom #IllKeepItCleanForYall

Y'all. What the fuck.
Like we all knew Google is just as malignant as other tech companies but c'mon.

Unapologetically, every single country should start removing US military bases from their borders. They should start charging more for US owned or operated companies to import products in.
The current administration is anti-international. Show them why it's a mistake.
