As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

AI isn't causing data centers to be built inefficiently, that's due to short-term thinking driven by human greed. A genuinely intelligent lifeform would do things differently. "Through photovoltaics and processors, sunlight became information." - Otherwise Elsewhere 003 bsky.app/profile/kirk...

Quote with your horn art! I know you expected a different face here but it's gotta be Peitha and Cerus, this is the most horns per pixels I've drawn

in an homage to Klimt's painting of Judith and the head of Holofernes, you see Peitha, a demon, holding the head of her brother Cerus after betraying him

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.
