Harry Potter has been on the NYT Children's & Young Adult Series list for NINE HUNDRED AND FIVE WEEKS, in case you're wondering whether anyone gives a shit about giving the terf queen their money. And know that every pull to publish, fanfic, tattoo, pin, whatever the fuck keeps these books relevant.

There is never a bottom with these psychopaths who don't think other people are human, especially their children, who they use as leverage
as low as my expectations have become I still didn't think an abuse story about somebody breaking a little girl's bones would get worse but that appears to have been naive of me
This is what they want. Not all men but always men.
Not ignore...reward. Over the past decade, the fan base for violent misogyny has become out & proud. Those voters enjoy vicariously the beatings & rapes people like Trump & Miller dole out. That's also why the Tate brothers are so popular & why there are online "how to gang-rape your wife" clubs.
Being a rapist appears to be a prerequisite for the GOP now
Again, the fucking deflection. Not answering the question. DARVO.
🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:
You know what it is, for me? That he's treating it like a litigation exercise. A logic problem. I know this behavior and it's weak and built on the insecurity that he knows he's an abuser; he is just building structures so ppl don't find out.
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
I...was once introduced to the owner of a small publishing house and this is the first thing he told me about himself in the middle of Javits during BEA, and...thank you? I will not be shaking your hand? His wife was just standing there, nodding. I guess she was used to this form of greeting.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

some of the most fun you can have is calmly telling an angry man "Wow, you seem really emotional right now" lmao
It’s been a hard day. But just got an email from a teacher saying one of his students started the year basically anti-reading. Hated all the assigned readings through the year. He had to analyze some fiction for his final and chose 2 of mine and loved them. Guys, I think I made a new reader. 🥹
He cites users' ability to mute & block folks as a positive, which is good. It's also why right wing chuds thankfully can't get a foothold here - b/c they violate community norms & get nuclear blocked out of normal people's timelines. Bluesky isn't a *liberal* bubble - it's a *decency* bubble.
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Babysitting used to be the job of adolescent girls who would work for cheap. Nowadays they are all busy with school/extracurriculars, and have parents who don't want their girls in vulnerable positions. And parents of babies don't want to entrust their care to teenagers w/little experience.
so a thing I have really noticed among the U.S. upper-middle-class is that they use babysitters far, far less than their parents' generation.
“I think making the sexual assault of children a systemic requirement to participate in society is a bad thing”
as a society we have to get a lot more comfortable saying "every single conservative alive is a pedophile"
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
wow, did you know every server in a data center has a catalytic converter in it?
this guy gets it
It's fascinating to me that this video is composed of things like "the Ring camera will show..." and "would I have...?" and not "I did not."
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Rewatching Watchmen, the show, not the movie, the movie sucks
I am so glad I (a) live in NYC (b) do not usually watch live TV because I would be fucking murderous
This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.
So true. There are millions of these ads in Texas, appealing to "common grievances" that were pulled out of somebody's butt last week. "Aren't you sick and tired of transgender liberals imposing Sharia law on retirement homes?"

She's going back in! REPEAT: She is Going. Back. In.
I cannot rest from discourse. I will see that film again tomorrow. I will drink life to the lees. Again I will enjoy greatly, will suffer greatly, both with those that love me, and in Pleasantville NY. I am become a meme. Film showing: burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-...

It’s that and the fact that women already do the bulk of mental and emotional labor AI seems to provide those types of men with. In other words, it’s not much use to women and they typically see right through it.
I have walked out on numerous terrible situations and the only thing I ever regretted was going back.
IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS
Right, so in Game of Thrones land, when the cello or bass starts bowing, you're in for a world of pain
bluesky user with less than 2k followers is cited as a furious transgender mob and Ken Jennings is an innocent little baby boy, here’s how our article is not attacking a minority group
does @jcsalterego.bsky.social come back tomorrow and if so what time
