Opinionated, sarcastic, British software engineer upset about *expansive arm wave* all of this. Likes board games, miniatures, puzzles.

Hey, something that regularly bums me out is that #Lego continues to make Harry Potter products. Lego brings me a lot of comfort, but their complicity in JK Rowling's hate campaign sours that significantly.

As a trans person, it makes me feel kinda helpless and invisible.

So I'd appreciate it if y'all could help me boost this petition across the fediverse, and share it around with group chats, and other socials if you're on them!

Not necessarily because I expect Lego to listen to a change.org petition, but because it would give me a lot more hope and faith in people if the voices saying "Hey, it's really messed up that Lego is doing this" were a lot louder than they are now.

(Alt-text: a change.org petition called "LEGO: End your relationship with JK Rowling and the Harry Potter franchise.")

every โ€œancient traditionโ€ was invented between 1848-1870 and every โ€œmodern perversionโ€ is so ancient as to predate writing
I feel like most in-house software is tacitly released under the Hot Potato Licence.

๐Ÿ *holding ice against crotch* Dad, how come girl's bikes don't have the bollock-mashing bar
๐Ÿบ no need for it lad, they've got nae bollocks
๐Ÿ
๐Ÿบ not much point putting a bollock masher if there's nae bollocks to mash is there
๐Ÿบ be a bloody waste of money

2020's
๐Ÿ€ *holding ice against crotch* Dad, why
๐Ÿ You know, I asked my dad this when I was your age, and his answer doesn't really fit in this decade. You probably know a couple of girls with bollocks. Maybe a boy with no bollocks. Either way, girls with bollocks get to ride the bikes without the bollock-mashing bar, and boys with no bollocks can ride the bollock masher, in a lot of ways it's a more enlightened time
๐Ÿ€ Dad what
๐Ÿ I mean these days girls can ride the bollock mashing bikes too
๐Ÿ So can non-binary folk, bollocks or no
๐Ÿ€ dad
๐Ÿ Anyway times change is what I'm saying
๐Ÿ The important thing is squashing the bollocks
๐Ÿ€
๐Ÿ Flat
