There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 3h agoJKR 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.

There's something diminishing about living in a world where men's abuse is so ubiquitous and unimpeded, and still women are chided for not thinking enough of men's woes, men's harms, men's feelings. We're constantly asked why we don't tolerate our endless violation with more dignity.
Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 16h agoIt's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.
I will laugh at anyone who calls themselves a "proud capitalist".

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

It's vital to understand that the conservative obsession with calling their political adversaries groomers, rapists and pedophiles while simultaneously protecting sexual offenders in their own party isn't a contradiction, but the result of an ideology that views rape as a crime of property damage.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
hey @kenjennings.bsky.social i know you don't think even a simple "my bad" is warranted but don't you think as such a great ally who has gotten so much visibility these past few days you could at least say something along the lines of "please do not harass that one trans woman" to your followers?
@kenjennings.bsky.social ran a successful harassment campaign against Gwen and his liberal fans are celebrating him as the paragon of Trans allyship. The irony!
Karrid 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@karrid.myatproto.social · yesterdayWell, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.
Bluesky is really putting the work in to prove Gwen right in the first screenshot.

Gwen Pepperoni got banned? So Ken Jennings got to post a non-apology thread, got a write-up in Them, and Gwen Pepperoni got banned? Love this site.
Liberals be like "trans people are gonna lose allies cause of purity tests" and the purity test is "don't be transphobic"
el jefe@jefe.bsky.social · 2d agoat this rate trans people will have no allies left, if they keep up with these purity tests
free gwen pepperoni restore her account she didnt do anything and these blue maga creatures being predatory about her account because she had the nerve to have the mildest possible criticism of a white guy on teevee are such sniveling little weirdos
And why the fuck are so many of you still following ken jennings? Need to keep up with his wordle?
bluesky's mod team hates trans people and loves bigots. you don't actually need to try to find a more complicated answer than that to almost any decision they make
I am not going to read this for obvious reasons but everyone involved in this should be so fucking embarrassed. The news people, the business people, everyone. Fuck!

this is all part of fascist backlash against bodily autonomy for people who are seen as property tbh
Wait, was she banned for this??? This was the trans person who a Ken Jennings mocked. Did Bluesky really ban them for this? Do we have any specifics on this?

all this did was making children less safe, including and especially from their own parents. which was, I guess, the point.
Dr Holly Nielsen@hollynielsen.bsky.social · 2d ago“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.
Not speaking ill of the dead is how Jimmy Saville got something approaching a state funeral.
