J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.

reading an interview with Jodi Picoult about her book By Any Other Name and she just... says wildly untrue things? I am befuddled, agog, aghast

"The truth is that we know a lot about Shakespeare – that he was a businessman and an actor, that he evaded taxes twice, that he jacked up the price of grain he hoarded during a famine, that he had restraining orders taken out against him by multiple colleagues, that he never left the country, that he was self-taught but died without owning a single book or leaving behind any writing of his own, that when he died – in spite of his phenomenal fame – not a single other playwright or poet wrote of what a great loss it was."

By Michael S. Schmidt and Michael C. Bender
May 22, 2025
Updated 2:17 p.m. ET
The Trump administration on Thursday halted Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, taking aim at a crucial funding source for the nation's oldest and wealthiest college in a major escalation in the administration's efforts to pressure the elite school to fall in line with the president's agenda.

Well, it's unsurprising but still disappointing that I'm looking up statistics for violence against women and girls for an article and it is very difficult to find a source that doesn't have some link to T*RF rhetoric or have super vague "EDI" statements that make no mention of LGBTQ+ populations

Absolutely encourage any early modernists in London to see 1536 at the Almeida if you’re able — with some understandable and easily forgivable hiccups, it is a thoughtful and passionate engagement with how misogyny operated in the early mod. period and how we have inherited that poisonous legacy

A theatre program for 1536 at the Almeida Theatre. Three women are depicted in black Tudor gowns and headdresses, all wearing the iconic necklace that has the initial “B” (for Anne Boleyn) in gold with three dangling pearls.
