There are way better books out there

JKR is another powerful Billionaire Fascist
“But my childhood!”
Uh how about my life right fucking now? Assholes
No, sorry. I need to feel like I’m 9 again, and your life doesn’t really… ‘matter’. I didn’t know you when I was 9.
I’m drinking nestle™ hot chocolate while I re-read the only book I’ve ever read too, if that makes you feel less lonely.
Drinking hot chocolate made with child slavery. Good ole nestle
Also listening to music on hardware made with extra conflicty conflict minerals.
the animorphs series is free btw
And if you don’t want to read 200 books that each have less than that many pages, I’d recommend the Elemist Chronicles, probably my favorite book in that setting and much more substantial than mainline series books.
Has anyone edited those to cut out the redundant explanation sections in every book? It’s not too bad when you’re not binging them, but good lord these were not made to be read right after another.
You know you are allowed to skip pages right? Lol or is it worked into the full story somehow?
They sometimes work it into the story a lot. You can usually skip the first 3 pages or so no problem, but other times you have skim through to find relevant details.
Also when the aliens show up you get like a half page to a page describing them (each of them) as if you haven’t read the same thing 30 times.
I get why it’s there, they were written to be accessible for anyone who just picked up book 42 at a yard sale or whatever.
Edit, also the descriptions of every goddamn animal, their instincts, and the morphing process of each. Granted, those actually differ a bit because the process is different everytime, but there’s only so many ways to describe hairy Fly legs exploding from your chest.
Edit:Might as well make it a drinking game at this point, but also explaining what happened to Tobias every book, explaining Tom in at least Jake’s books.
Get over Harry Potter, the book was shit then and it is now.
Seriously, the only redeeming quality is how whimsical the Wizarding World is, the actual story is bullshit, and since the whimsy goes away after the third book in favor of “Edgy Bullshit” for books 4-7, there isn’t a lot of whimsy to enjoy
I have the theory that if it wasn’t for the movies, the series wouldn’t have gotten a fraction of the popularity it has.
Specially the music. I think the score did most of the heavy lifting in giving the movies that “whimsy magical feeling”
Indeed, Harry Potter is marketing hype that’s it, as a kid I only read Sorcerer’s Stone cover to cover, then I moved onto Redwall.
SEVEN books??
Did you think there were more or less?
Less. IDK.
Head TERF of Transphobe Island.
The actual post for those interested. There’s more data and the user is writing a book on the anti-trans movement
Follower only post.
“Yer a bigot, Rowling!”

Yeah it couldn’t be clearer that she’s the UK wing of the same politics that the other billionaires like Musk and Thiel are pushing. Must be something that they all cooked up together on Epstein’s island.
she also threatened bullshit uk slaap lawsuits against amnesty international uk to bully them into pulling the report on the gender critical movement -> https://archive.org/details/report-a-growing-threat-the-anti-rights-movement-in-the-uk-july-2026_202607
Peter Theil’s secret society, but yeah.
What the fuck is her problem? Did she get diddled by a trans person or something? Is she that closeted!?
She wants to be a man, and blames trans woman for it.
unironically my theory
She’s talked about how she wanted to be her father’s son before.
So internalized misogyny is her projection onto the rest of us.

Who even uses X? Aren’t most of these just bots feeding off what she posts?
The answer, sadly, is literally most people with an internet connection and a desire for social media. And that fact makes even more people use it due to the network effect.
I don’t think most people use it. I know so maybe people and no one I know seems to use it especially not now. I never used it when it was twitter though. Maybe I’m just not talking to the right people
A lot of people sadly, though, it’s probably true there are a lil too many bots which then also drag humans in the shitting
Liberals call it a “centrist” position. She’s just “reaching across the aisle” and all that.
Reaching across the aisle to kill trans people.
Not always! Sometimes its to rape a child. Or correct its friend Jeff’s spelling.
Fascist enablers and collaborators you mean.
They said liberals, yes.
This informs why she continues to be mentioned. If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally go away.
If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally [go] away
That’s true of literally everyone, though.
Unfortunately, she’s a billionaire with a lot of clout and powerful friends, so it’s highly unlikely that everyone will just start collectively ghosting her any time soon.
Those of us who see her for what she is doing so is still a good start.
Also, she may be riding and amplifying the current wave of transphobia, but the rot runs deep. Especially in the UK, where even supposedly progressive parties and publications are just salivating at the thought of hurting trans people.
JKR is not the source of the poop. She’s just the largest turd.
Jeffrey Epstein being one of said friends.
Rowling is the pedophile with spell check.
Once you’re a world-renowned creator of a massive multimedia franchise and a billionaire that lives in a castle and uses your vast fortune to create legal troubles for a marginalized group and for anyone who points out you’re persecuting said marginalized group, there’s no amount of ignoring that will make you go away. The only way to make her go away is to aggressively fight back against her bullshit.
That’s not how lobbying works.🙃
She’s paying for this entire network of hate.Evidently childhood fandom is more important than protecting our most vulnerable
You cannot ask people to actually do something. It’s all hashtags, shitstorms, changing one’s profile picture.
She’s probably the useful idiot for someone so as long as that “need” exists she’ll be shoved (willingly) into the spotlight.
This is like a full time job for her. Except she is also paying for it.
See, this is why you do have to be so harsh to bigots; they’re so easy to energize that only a few need to get through to have a negative impact.
