FWIW from my teeny tiny perspective as a freelance writer, I am not going to watch the Harry Potter show, I am not going to pitch on it, and I will decline any assignments if offered. I could really use the money, but it's not worth the cost of hurting trans lives.

Now, everyone do this.

Peggy Flanagan: "We need to rip ICE apart and stop from them from terrorizing our communities"

And has explicitly said that she funnels HP profits into initiatives to take rights away from trans people. She brags about your fandom fueling her mission to further disenfranchise a marginalized group.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 11h ago

I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer.

Well never mind, turns out he's a creep. Fuck him.

People are disappointed but this is the dude who, after hitting on my cousin twice and being denied twice, replied with a "do you even know who I am." Guy has always been a turd.

Okay, I give up. Fuck 'im.

OK, with the recent news of Nicholas Holt unfortunately deciding to join Harry Potter season 2, I just wanna say... Something definitely feels rotten with the Harry Potter... fandom, business, whatever. Other than the obvious TERF, Something about that whole franchise in the modern day stinks.

At this point, I’m legitimately wondering if J. K. Rowling is fucking blackmailing a bunch of these actors to get to star in this shit, because what the hell??

Here's my full story on the blue bunny saga. Messages date back to 2025. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rep. Max Miller has a history of withholding his daughter's blue bunny

And we have the screenshots of emails and texts to prove it.

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

Honestly, filtering for, "the Nazis were bad, Stalin was bad, the correct side won WWII" is the easiest way to filter out 90+% of bad faith interlocutors if only everyone was honest about their views but the fascists and tankies know this and so sometimes falsify their opinions strategically.

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · last wk.

WWII propaganda is good actually

What in the actual fuck?! What psychopath tortures a kid? For leverage no less?! And what's with Republicans with the last name of Miller being into unhinged sadism and Schadenfreude? And yes, it is sadism. He ENJOYS this shit! Bastard should be in a psych prison.

That seems like the essential paradox of leftists in America. Either we suck and deserve the worst, so you should sit back and let Trump win. Or, we deserve better than any of the choices, so you should sit back and let Trump win. It’s funny how there’s never an option where you try to stop Trump.

These days, it seems like being a fan of the MCU gives us the same social stigma of being a "Disney Adult," but fuck it. The real world sucks, and if capeshit is still fun, I'm gonna go have fun, dammit.
