Can I be a hater for a sec? I was wondering if I should read Rose in Chains (because Alchemized was so bad, why SHOULDN'T I read the other book advertising itself as Dramione fic) but idk if I can deal with the fact that the characters are called Briony Rosewood and and Toven Hearst, idk idk

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I just saw freshwater by akwaeke emezi and sorrowland by rivers solomon on a list of books labelled as "weird girl lit" and I just...I have some questions

Herstory is incredibly silly however my association with it now is this bit from Dimension 20 that did make me howl with laughter youtube.com/shorts/64p1w...

I continue to absolutely detest the word “Herstory.” Let’s leave aside that history comes from the Greek ῐ̔στορῐ́ᾱ (“inquiry”); it’s just ridiculous to separate out the experience of women from the umbrella of history. I don’t want two versions or a binary. I want women implicit in all histories.

So I read Alchemised by SenLinYu and I had some thoughts about it www.erinrockfort.com/blog/hxml2n1...

Bless This Mess: Alchemised by SenLinYu — Erin Rockfort

So, I read Alchemised. I have some thoughts. In short: it’s too damn long. At length: …well, you’ll just have to read further. I read this book partially because it began its life as a fanfic, and ...

Bye Tim Curry. You made pollution weirdly sexy and confused a lot of millennial kids with that. Sleep well.

Just a reminder you too can be a weird little freak and a positive presence in your community. Nothing is stopping you but you

Anyway once when I was a teenager and unsupervised over the summer I just watched Clue like 6 times in a single day I really recommend the experience

Thank you for everything, man

jesus h christ can we not get a break?? I'm having January 2016 flashbacks

The very fact that Warner Bros. strong-armed JK Rowling into making her tepid “statement of support” means they are feeling the pressure of widespread disapproval of her prejudice. Don’t let up on that pressure one bit for even one moment.

Why is "love interest teaches main character how to fight/use magic" such a common trope in popular romances I suppose this is just an excuse to spend time together/end up entangled sexily but god damn is it repetitive. And it's seemingly always the dude teaching the girl!!!

So obviously a "speed puzzling event" was full of queer neurodivergent folks but also it did my heart good to hear the table behind us talking about how they were boycotting Tim Hortons because of the HP partnership

So I checked Alchemised out of the library because fanfic publication is of endless curiosity to me but upon doing so have learned that it's OVER 1000 PAGES what have I done to myself

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

If you're cis and you're figuring out elaborate workarounds so that you can still enjoy Harry Potter, I'd suggest you need to wake the fuck up.

I do, however, think it would be funny to force Mark Sutcliffe and only Mark Sutcliffe out of his car and onto a bike

ethical romantasy (she tops)

I felt bad taking a pic in full view of the people involved but I just passed a car crash with a crow perched above it preening and idk I think maybe there was a curse afoot

Re: "ethical romantasy" discourse, I'm far from an expert but the actual problem I see with some of the books I've read is not the actions but the framing Like no, sorry, Rhysand from ACOTAR is not a feminist and it's not empowering that he keeps information from Feyre about her pregnancy
