OPE! Scheduling change, actually. We're actually recording the Q&A on September 27th - now it's actually after the season 5 finale episode airs. Still feel free to send us questions now, but now you don't gotta worry about rushing lol.

ALSO! Our end of season Q&A is coming up, and will be recorded on September 13th! So get your questions in by then about Glee, podcasts, music, other stuff...go for it!

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.

You can't explain it, but sometimes you feel summoned by places. They call you to walk them. It's almost as if that act of walking makes you part of their story and they want that. You can call me mad, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this. – Bec Bowker, 1982 #VOH

Low key the astrology/tarot hate feels weird because it tends to go from 0 to 100 very fast. I'm just mining zodiac profiles for personalities traits and occasionally doing a tarot read when my writer's block gets bad

Hey, for any gamers who don't like reading, most of the article outlines all the ways JKR makes trans people's lives hell. Most news outlets are too scared to write like this, so shoutout to GameInformer for reporting on the real facts of the matter

All of this is to say that Rowling uses the funds she makes from the Harry Potter franchise to fund anti-trans groups and target the trans community, which makes up roughly 1% of the world's population.  Though Warner Bros. Interactive said Rowling was not involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, she undoubtedly made money off of it. It remains to be seen if she'll have any involvement with the in-development Hogwarts Legacy sequel.

any statement like ‘Gen z have no literacy/cannot write/spell/communicate’ that is not also coupled with ‘their means of learning has been eradicated by tech fascism and government removal of funding’ is not worth listening to or boosting. the kids are living under the regime we allowed
