I hope someone is writing a new children's book about teenagers fighting the evil witch

@sufferforme

JK Rowling in statement today, "And your little dog too."

#LittleDog #Rowling #lgbt #Trans #lgbtq2s #rights #kindness #House

@kevinrns

so, a group of teenage wizards and their trusty dog fight the evil witch

@kevinrns @sufferforme Diane Duane wrote 9 Wizard novels. Book 3 came out the same year as HP and the Philosopher's Stone. They work in a universe where Magic has a price instead of violating the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.

@kevinrns - Burn Baby Burn those books.

@atlovato

Get it at the library, just don't add to her war chest by buying one.

@kevinrns @atlovato Sadly burning a lib. book would a) result in you getting fined, but importantly, b) result in the lib. replacing the book with a new copy.

If anything ppl that feel they must read HP for w/e reason, should be supported reading it via the lib., beyond that if you must violate HP books at the lib, just scribble a note about jojo being a transphobic swine in the space above chapter headings - so the lib *prob* won't consider it damaged enough to replace, but it'll send a msg.

@atlovato Nope, sorry, burning books has bad historic reputation. We are civilized people. We simply don't buy them and tell the evil witch to stfu.

@levampyre @kevinrns - Your correct; The best thing to do is Not purchase this product permanently.
@kevinrns I was at a kitchy merch store at the mall recently and saw big signs saying all Harry Potter merch was marked way down. It did not appear any had been touched still. We all understood the assignment it seems

@kevinrns Let's hope the network TV release of the Harry Potter stuff falls flatter on it's face that the recently flopped Marvel/Pixar got "ow." sort like Loki after the Hulk bats him around.

@kevinrns For anyone who doesn't want to click through, it's The Booksmith in San Francisco who have ceased sales of JK Rowling books: https://www.booksmith.com/NotHP

@kevinrns if I write a book, I'll pledge to use some of the proceeds to harass JK Rowling.
@kevinrns She's going so hard against trans people because she doesn't want anyone to realize the truth is she's just a shitty fanfic writer who took 'The Worst Witch', Mildred and literally genderswapped her to a Harry boy.

@kevinrns

When I publish my books, I promise to use the profits to help LGBTQ+individuals, especially children, get the help they need.

"I solemnly swear I'm out to do good."

"Socialism managed."

@kevinrns ok, that is good
But also why is a bookshop getting free publicity for finally dropping HP in mid 2025 FFS, what about promoting cool queer bookstores that have never stocked this hate instead

@Ember If they have never stocked it, they must be young bookshops. I was a queer kid in the 90's and felt represented when I read HP when it first came out. I bonded with friends over reading the same book, which was an absolute novelty back then. There was a time before JKR fell from grace when queer folks loved the books. And I'm still kinda aching for the author to have become such an awful hating terf. I will never enjoy reading HP to my own kids. That's really a loss. 😞

@kevinrns

@levampyre @Ember

true and well said.

Like an abusive family, its grief and love.

@kevinrns calling the move a "book ban" is really something.
