I gave a book (“The Bible: For Teens” by Montgomery Franklinson) to my grandson for his birthday, and he said, I kid you not, “Okay, so where’s the ‘on switch’?” 😭😭😭

Today in Elden Ring I spent several hours going in circles in an underground tomb and then another hour trying to fall down a hole correctly, without success. Superb fun.

Could you provide sources for these claims? I've heard she made a couple tweets saying trans women weren't real women but none of the other stuff. If true then I'd like to read more. Thanks.

Here’s the constitutional crisis one: https://www.simmons-simmons.com/en/publications/cldimefby007stsmssw31a6on/uk-government-blocks-scottish-gender-bill

Basically the UK government have never used their powers to block Scottish bills being passed ever ever before this, and all the bill did was make it easier for 16 and 17 year olds to legally change their gender. This happened because of the virulent hate campaign against trans people in the UK. Rowling is an active participant in this, by far the most famous figure to do so. She is quite literally the face of the anti-trans movement in the UK, and actively uses her fame and influence to make the movement seem palatable to regular people, as well as fight for (and using her royalties and immense wealth to donate to) anti-trans causes, organisations, and legislation, all of which causes actual real world harm. It’s far more than just tweeting some bullshit.

More recently, this has led to her openly supporting far-right groups who oppose abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in general, simply because they are some of the only people to agree with her stance on trans people. It’s radicalisation happening in real time. Here’s a video on that:

https://youtu.be/Ou_xvXJJk7k

Hope this helps provide some extra context to anyone. I really cannot stress enough how the UK government have never ever EVER blocked a Scottish bill from becoming law before this completely innocuous one, and how much of a part Rowling’s campaign did in making it happen.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

You understand I’m not defending her being a lovely person right? It’s not that black and white. I’m saying, you can say she’s all of those things (and I believe them and agree) and also state that making a generation or (two or three ) read more and hopefully fall in love with reading (not just her stuff) isn’t collectively a bad thing.

But this don’t buy her game if you want to be a good person thing that a lot of online discourse goes doesn’t help, is all I’m saying. I’m all for trans rights.

Especially when this stuff doesn’t come up around blizzard, when we know the president who directly benefits from the company doing well is a known sex pest.
