Here's the truth. You can't stand with trans people and take a gig with Rowling. It is impossible. You can make donations, you can issue statements of support, but at the end of the day you are choosing to work with the single most prominent transphobe who uses her money and platform to harm us.

I hear you, and I understand why this is painful for many. I want to be clear that I stand with trans people, and I support trans rights - fully and without hesitation.
"When I accepted this role, I did so as someone who has always loved the stories and what they meant to so many - especially those who found comfort and identity in that world," she wrote.
"I now understand more clearly how deeply omplicated and hurtful this association can feel, and I take that seriously. Being an ally eans listening even when it`s uncomfortable and taking accountability where it's needed. I'm committed to doing both."

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance."
The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

It feels like whether you're trans or queer or gazan or Black or disabled it just keeps coming back to that. Stop killing us. What else are we supposed to say? It's not a difference of opinion with a middle ground, it's reckless hate and eradication.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

(…) Also, sometimes I take 1 benadryl with 1 excedrin migraine during the day, and that occasionally helps with drowsiness

I don’t know! I live in a wild weather area (mid-NC), and thought it was allergies at first, but no allergy meds helped, only benadryl. Took an allergy test & wasn’t allergic to anything, so just figured my body must make hella histamines sometimes??

Alex ✨ @tookishbook.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Omg yay!! So glad it helped! I usually take just one pill during the day, maybe even half of one— it depends on the severity of the headache. Sometimes I also take one the night before pressure changes (weather fronts, etc) because that’s a migraine trigger for me.

Idk if you have the same problem, but sometimes I actually have to take Benadryl for intense sinus headaches because it’s actually my body reacting to all the histamine it’s (over)producing.

Yeah, at this point she’s in the same category as Musk: a billionaire using money and clout to significantly influence governments in order to enact a bigoted agenda. Her stuff should be boycotted like Tesla. This goes WAY beyond “an artist with problematic opinions/bad behavior in private life”

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

Long thread; please share this around. JK Rowling said that asexual people fake our oppression for not experiencing sexual attraction, all the while denigrating us for not experiencing said sexual attraction. All of this is on International Asexuality Day, nonetheless. Typical of Rowling. 🧵
