Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧For my latest newsletter, I wrote a thing about JK Rowling and "separating the art from the artist." I have thoughts!

Victoria Venery HAS MOVED@charliejane a point you hit on that really makes a difference for me is that she uses the money and influence she still gets to actively hurt people.
If HP Lovecraft were still alive and using his prestige to push his racist agenda I wouldn't be reading his work either.
But it's all academic for me, the first book came out when I was a senior in high school so I missed the whole thing.
