you're not sticking it to JKR by participating in the draco trend, the only way to do that is to not engage with her crap at all. also let's like. not use misogynist incel terminology? death of the author only works when the author is not actively harming people (like when they're actually dead).

it's been extremely disappointing and frustrating seeing several people i followed participate. atp if you're still on board with the fuckass wizard series to any degree you are just choosing to ignore the damage she has done to trans people and i do not consider you an ally.

Another 19 occurrences of a word. Here's a good one, also of Deimos having a bad time. If you think this happens to him a lot...you're not wrong. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

A story excerpt, white text on a black background. The word 'guard' is highlighted in green. The excerpt reads:

I spat blood, but I had no chance to recover as she appeared at my front again, unleashing a rapid flurry of strikes that broke through my guard and opened three separate gashes on my arm, and another on my exposed shoulder. Again the burning cold began to set in, and I felt my arms moving slower, responding a split second after I’d made the choice to move

I know there is a hell of a lot going on right now. But not all of it is bad. Some is astonishingly good - like the results of this study from June. Cervical cancer is a terribly cruel thing. This might, at long last, be the beginning of the end of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Clearly I have no issue discussing politics, but I won't lie - I'm disappointed by the amount of followers who won't. Gaza, Congo, Sudan - what is social media for if not for unifying? Somewhere along the way, someone made people believe that silence was better. It never is. It never was.

Like CATS? Like SPACE? Like MECHS? Like SHOOTING STUFF. Like QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ETHICS OF CONSENT IN UPLIFTING ANIMALS AND ALSO THE HEALING OF TRAUMA THROUGH KINDNESS Then, my friend, put the 6TH OF OCTOBER in your diary. Audio and EBOOK release of BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK. (Tell everyone.)

A cat is looking out of a human space suit at you. That's what we call in the trade, a visual metaphor. Now comes the blurb.

Years ago, Deep Strike cadet Min Law was left behind during what was meant to be a routine operation. Though he survived, the resulting trauma almost ended his career. Now, as captain of the DST Thunberg, he is preparing to take his crew on a similar journey to a seemingly quiet world following a garbled distress signal. The mission is simple on paper: find the source of the call, offer aid, return home.

But nothing is simple in the Wild Black at the edges of the unexplored universe. As the crew of the Thunberg searches for the signal’s source, they find strange ships and corpses that shouldn’t be there. The mysteries begin to pile up. What happened out here? And why does some of the technology look horribly familiar?

Fortunately, Min’s team of animal counterparts is prepared for anything. The bear, Sitka Pete, is eight hundred pounds of loyal muscle. The rooks are quick and coordinated, perfect for reconnaissance. And the cats, Oz and Hinder, well, they’re just cats. But together they’re more than up for whatever the Wild Black can throw at them—even if this region isn’t quite so unexplored after all . . .

No 'observe', but I have 19 instances of 'watch' and its variants. So here's this big unpleasantness. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

An excerpt from a novel, of white text in a black background. The words 'watch' are highlighted in green. The excerpt reads:

The atmosphere in Ops was thick with tension, and I was sure I could smell the fear coming from the team in the room.
“My Lord, thanks for coming,” said a young man with a light German accent, which I recognised as being the person who called me.
“What’s going on?”
The man gestured to the video wall, directing our attention to a paused image of Canterbury, as seen by one of our satellites.
“If you can just watch the screen a moment, My Lord,” he said, getting to his own station. “This happened a moment before I called you. We...don’t know what to think.”
He began playback of the recorded images, and we all stood and watched.
For a few moments, nothing happened. Then the screen brightened to almost painful levels, and a circular wave of flame erupted from the area of the cathedral. It spread across the majority of the city, setting every building, every street ablaze.
It was Celeste. It had to be. She’d turned Canterbury into her very own pocket of Hell, and this was likely what she intended to do across the country.
“Goddess above,” Lorelei whispered, before wheeling around to me.
“Deimos, you’re out of time,” she told me. “You have to go to her now, do anything it takes to stall her, just buy us that time.”
“But-”
“Don’t argue with me Deimos, just go.”
I stood in front of Lorelei, my jaw working silently in numb terror.

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.

It’s genuinely so embarrassing to watch Millennials and younger not give up HP. My (Boomer) mother’s entire personality most of my life was HP. We went to the Wizard world and everything. One day I said, “ma, JKR is transphobic.” She looked at me, without missing a beat, said “well fuck HP then.”

Hoh boy, this is a small yet potent snippet I feel. Deimos is in the middle of having A Bad Time. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

A story excerpt, white text on a black background. The word 'effort' is highlighted in green. The ehole snippet reads:

Slowly, and with considerable effort, I managed to push myself to my feet, wobbling slightly as I finally stood.
A pair of pale hands caught me before I fell, the stench of sulphur filling the air.
“Hello, mother,” I rasped, my throat still feeling burned and raw from the taste of her blood.

Apparently this concept is difficult so i drew a picture

A very basic drawing of a bar with good on the left, silence in the middle, and evil on the right.
There is an arrow pointing to the division between good and silence that says ‘Where the line of
opposition actually is’

There is another arrow pointing to the division between silence and evil that says ‘Where people think the line of opposition is’
