"you didn't love it like I did" i loved that story so much i wanted it inked into my skin forever. but new information came to light and i, as an adult, changed my mind. so i spent hundreds of dollars to cover up my HP tattoo.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

i’m having a long week. and it’s still wednesday

This is heartbreaking. @kenjennings.bsky.social did so much damage and his actions caused a cascade that chased an innocent trans woman off the internet The fact that she has suffered all the consequences from his actions should make everyone stop and think about how privilege played out here

Heat Safety Experts Advise Americans To Seek Privilege https://theonion.com/heat-safety-experts-advise-americans-to-seek-privilege-1850623871/

Spotted in Weir, Kansas today.

Imagine if in the men's World Cup the Solomon Islands, an island chain in the South Pacific ranked 153rd in the World, were in a group with Poland, Ghana, and Vietnam. And they won the group. That's what Malawi just did, comparing like-for-like FIFA World Rankings between men and women.

I know we had food safety issues pre-Trump, but what's currently happening now with "tons of mass recalls in various kinds of foods and no one even knows which foods should be recalled because the government is both actively lying and fucking up" was one of my biggest fears when trump won

Shimada and Kano are pushing now because Japan's Supreme Court is weighing whether denying marriage to same-sex couples is unconstitutional. Shimada: "if small movements gather together, perhaps same-sex marriage will become a reality." buff.ly/fziynTM

“Love Wins”: Marriage Equality Advocates in Japan Press Case Ahead of Supreme Court Ruling - Unseen Japan

If you were a notable neo-Nazi, and you are trying to do better, that is good; but if you do not understand that "I will no longer seek power over anyone other than myself" is an essential part of that redemption you are not redeemed at all. You're still a fucking Nazi.

I think the fox should be the trans mascot given how intently rich British want to kill us

damn a GREAT run for KC today

City officials said the funding could support $20 million of housing projects each year to build thousands of affordable units.

A+ story

I've told this story before and I suppose now it's time to do it again. When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher was the elderly sort of man who always wore a gray flannel suit and had a cigarette before class and a cigarette at the end of class every period.

I have little to add to the chat, but I will say this: Those of us who spend a lot of time talking about politics overestimate how much other people care about, or are even familiar with, the labels we use to describe, denigrate, or celebrate candidates. Sometimes we’re high on our own supply.

Two wins for abortion rights: Voters in Kansas and Missouri easily defeated ballot measures that could have threatened abortion access in their states

they can never make me give up on Kansas no matter how hard they try (and boy, do they try)

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

lol eat shit

you just don't go after bodily autonomy in Kansas- interestingly, the GOP doesn't seem to control the narrative on these kinds of questions, at all. their ads were like "don't you want democracy? that means voting for judges" and people mostly saw right thru it

TWO presumably expensive right wing disinformation campaigns in Kansas and Missouri to weaken our state constitutional rights and both got CRUSHED

Holscher didn't run a full-on DSA campaign, but ran on a platform far more left wing than some pundits declare unpalatable in the flyover Corson, the center-left establishment candidate, took a big hit for being associated with private prisons if what they think of us were true, Skoog woulda won

if kansas politics were for some reason widely known on bluesky, everyone would be making fun of Curt Skoog for this

Doggust day 3: Jagdterrier (and rock purslane.) I see this type of succulent a lot, always super tall and leaning in an illustrative manner. Almost ideal for a small dog to walk under. #doggust2026

I’m still about $800 short on rent this month, and I’m really afraid of getting evicted before I have colostomy surgery on the 17th. Venmo is faster (rent is due on the 5th), but either is so helpful. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Brianna-Tr... GFM: gofund.me/f071c1d0f
