Lmao. I thought we had been boycotting for them for this very reason for about a year or two now? Welp, I guess I’ll just continue

startled and sad about soraya. she was unique. she was the first person who helped me with my book. she never picked up her copy. she told a mutual friend she’d push me into traffic if she ran into me on the street. i will never not be grateful I got to know that person.
some words on Soraya Roberts, the best writer i ever knew

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1. Can’t somebody ELSE do it? 2. Lookin’ out the window… that’s a paddlin’ 3. Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? 4. If you see me in public, please: leave me be. 5. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME MAN HAS YEARNED TO DESTROY THE SUN

quickly made up some posters you can print! i choose to believe that most HP fans are ignorant about jo rowling's hatred and if educated, would choose better. i don't think this education can be stretched further online. it's up to us to share our knowledge irl. left is letter, right is A4
Doc Vivi Leandra【 VTC 】- Real-Life Scientist VTuber 🧬🖥️@docvivileandra.bsky.social · 2w agoA lot of people are dooming about the Harry Potter TV Series being an inevitable success that will make JK Rowling a ton of money, but I want to remind y'all they are spending more money producing this thing than any TV series has EVER MADE www.republicworld.com/entertainmen...
surely someone has realized there should be an A.I. that deepfakes your own face in zoom calls so that you appear to be looking at the camera and not at the zoom window
oddly touching to be doing a schedule launch again, with near identical constraints to my first one (2017), for entirely different / all of the same reasons

Not gonna lie, seeing this image tonight fucked me up a bit. I was a critic when this came out, and had to cover it, and really enjoyed both girls in it. Tragic neither saw 40. It's so weird having watched two little girls grow up into women on screen, only to be writing this after they are gone.
Was also not expecting a 3 hour $250 million dollar movie to get right at the particular grief I feel over the state of the world, but there you have it. I am the person weeping in the back row.

All the adults working on the wizard bigot show made an active decision to endorse a vile campaign of hate. We do not in any way have to reward them for that, let alone sympathize with their plight. Which they CHOSE.
Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 3w agowhat you will hear actors, writers and directors etc bleat is -- when you translate it from self-pity word salad -- "I don't want you to make me feel bad about the active decision I made." nah. they knew better and did it anyway. no part of that is on us

I don't know how effective a viewer boycott of the show could be--I guess we'll see--but I do think a media boycott would have some impact. If all the websites that would ordinarily cover this from every angle just greet it with oceans of silence...maybe it'd mean something.
Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · 3w agoWorth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.
