If you spend money on anything Harry Potter, you are funding this.
If you think it's okay to continue being a fan and talking about it and putting your Hogwarts House in your profile since you already bought the books/movies, Rowling had stated the continued fandom shows you support her bigotry.

Here we go again 🙄 Google has granted itself access to your private messages & attachments on Gmail to train its AI models. Here's how to turn it off. 👇
Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for.
But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.
No, they just make it harder for those of us opposing her because she and her allies can just write off legit criticism as part of the harassment.
"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip
Yeah I only use AI for the fun part right at the beginning where we're kicking ideas around and not worried about budget or expectations. Just the best part of any group creative endeavor, me and my team challenging each other with our most visionary ideas, I'm looking to automate that
WSJ headline: Gen Z shoppers aren't spending like retailers need them to
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.
Homeland Security tweet says “there us no room at the table for invaders.”
Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”
Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!
The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.
I got a million problems; what people buy with SNAP cards ain’t one of them.
Everyone should police their Congressmen the way they police total fucking strangers at the grocery store: we’d actually be better off for it!
I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.
1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.
2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.
Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.
The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.
Yeah, he was able to get to the desk to play, but when the teams were introduced his team was the only one coming through the crowd rather than through the stage, his group was the only one accepting their award not on the stage, and when his team won they accepted their award in front of the stage.
The Twitchcon Minecraft Championship event also didn't have wheelchair access to the stage, despite one of the participants needing a wheelchair and being part of a group that was scheduled to win an award part way through. That streamer has participated in Twitchcon MCCs before with similar issues.
reminder that something like 232,000 (per a peer reviewed study) of the US Covid deaths were Delta-wave vaccine refusers. These dupes were sacrificial pawns the conservative movement weaponized in order to sustain the pandemic and try to damage the Biden economy in 2021:
Technically they tried that with Fantastic Beasts and The Cursed Child, but neither did that well.
I am increasingly sick and tired of businesses trying to force me to install their proprietary apps! My phone is full! Let me print my boarding pass at the airport! Let me get a posted paper schedule for the con! YOU ARE NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN 5,000 PICTURES OF MY CATS!

This panel has been removed from the schedule. So yelling and snark still work, I guess.
Panel Description from WorldCon 2025 Strong Woman Lead =/= LGBTQIA= Tagged Culture/DEI Room 420-422 9-10am Have you ever walked into a bookshop and asked for books with strong women leads? Perhaps you've requested that love not be a major plot point? Has the staff excitedly passed you half a dozen books that, though good, have a bit of a repeating theme? Here we ask the question: Why do authors/bookshops assume the only way to have a strong woman lead is to make them gay with a woman love interest and prevent men characters from rising over the background? Isn't it possibly to have a book with strong women and men characters in it and not have them fall in love?
WorldCon panels dropped and I guess they've decided to jump on the right wing's train of strawmen about the gay agenda? Please, if anyone in their life has encountered a bookstore giving them half a dozen sapphic recs with 'strong women leads' let me know so I can shop there
REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
