Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Oh Blood at the Root is written by LaDarrion Williams. The other two books in the series are Bones at the Crossroads and Ashes at the Altar.

Blood at the Root is a black author writing a black boy going to magic school in the American south and is so very good but is more appropriate for older teens rather than kids or preteens.

Also, in case anyone wants "kids going to magic school" that isn't HP that you can read for yourself or introduce to the kids in your life, Earthsea by Ursula K LeGuin is iconic. The Circle of Magic quartets by Tamora Pierce are really good and geared at exactly the age group HP targets.

When the TV show comes out, if I see anyone talk about watching it, I'm just gonna block and move on without a second thought. I don't care if we're mutuals.

Let's be real here. The TV show is gonna do well, and so will Hogwarts Legacy 2, and probably nothing we say or do will change that. A lot of people just don't care about trans people. That doesn't mean you can support her and still be pro trans rights. We're not gonna give you a free pass.

It's really easy to just say you support trans folk, we're just asking you to put your money where your mouth is and not give it to one of the worst transphobes alive to show you mean it. If you can't even do that it's clear you just genuinely don't care about trans folk.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

boycott it so your trans friends don’t get a sick feeling in their stomach when they come over to your house for a party & see a stack of HP merch on your bookshelf, politely excuse themselves a bit early without saying anything, and then go home feeling just a little degraded

When every bank and social media and journalistic outlet keeps "accidentally" silencing, censoring, and debanking LGBTQ people specifically, then it's not an accident. The purpose of a system is what it does.

Going back to "Business as usual" is one of the dumbest things Biden did. He wanted to reconcile with a group of bigoted, narcissistic, disgusting fascists and thought that would be good for our country. Trump and every one of his allies should have been punished and their movement destroyed.

The Dems need to viciously attack every power and money center for the conservative movement. Eliminate car dealership monopolies, enact wealth taxes on billionaires, eliminate citizens United, crack down on crypto, and bring silicon Valley to heel.

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.
