As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

People have studied this for decades, and the findings are pretty consistent: Immigration is unrelated or even negatively related to crime and cities w/lots of immigrants are likely safer than yours.

@shanemadej.bsky.social and I are unfortunate victims of getting sucked up into space weekly and on Monday we release the first episode of a podcast that tells our horrific story.
