Because I think the thing this interaction really underlines that doesn’t come up about Rowling is how abusive she obviously is. And I’m sure she did a number on the people she worked with. She’s deeply manipulative and she absolutely clearly has played people.

Now she was wrong and it was incredibly privileged to say that. But I get where she came from. That connection is probably more complex than we know from the outside. And I think wanting to feel some hope you could mend that relationship is at least human.

Can I be honest? That Rowling thing really triggered my ptsd. Because l think Watson meant well. She wanted to extend grace. Because we are taught to to be good people. And she was mocked for it. How sad. I’ve been her. It always went that way.

tbh reposting this on here (there aren't a lot of kids on here) feels a bit futile so I just want to champion Scarleteen as a really incredible accessible resource for kids seeking inclusive sex ed (+ other stuff re: teen safety) and if you can get it into the hands of kiddos now that'd be good

And now I'm just spelunking around and here's this Facebook post by Kaleb Horton from September 2017. It was three months after MTV dumped its freelancers. I'm sure it would have been a piece there; instead he posted this on FB just to have it written out: Toys 'R' Us as societal microcosm.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

I lost it at “FUCKING KYLE!” #caturday

Thinking about how this is how Kaleb Horton lives on is so depressing and enraging. How little value his work was shown by the bastards who hold the money and make the choices. Thank you for posting this, upsetting a reminder it might be ❤️

Kinda losing it, just a little holy shit the most incredible Dolly Parton signed a magic card for me

You can’t help anybody when you’re exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of “I would love to be dead right now” on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about

Knights of Guinevere pilot kicks incredible amounts of ass because it's not only a beautifully animated cartoon for an adult audience, it's also clearly made with head splitting, blood-in-mouth, screaming fucking rage

It occurs to me that some people out there really do see every line preceding “Then they came for me” in Niemöllers poem as *precursors* to fascism.

Well don't I feel stupid

I'm also thinking of the stories of Union soldiers not entirely sure it had to be their problem to fight the Confederacy, getting a good look at the abject horrors of slavery, and promising to fight to the last breath.

heyyyyyyyyy my name is Juno , or Juno Rylee , or pretty annoying writer girl , pick one idc I am VERY short on rent and my electric bill due on 10/1 journalism + Venmo/Kofi/PayPal in Linktree latest piece linked in alt text linktr.ee/junostump junoryleejournalism.com/2025/09/24/a...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

People of DC (cont.) WJLA, local ABC outlet, has long tradition in the area. Former home of anchors Maureen Bunyan, Gordon Peterson, Kathleen Matthews, Leon Harris, etc. Sinclair-owned now. Didn't carry Kimmel last night. "General manager" contact line: 703-236-9552. sbgi.net/sinclair-bro...

I wonder whether there’s any notable overlap between very rich men being enraged at being publicly and truthfully accused of committing sex offences, and TV and newspapers suddenly filling up with terrifying, screaming horseshit about The Left destroying freedom? Somebody should look into that IMO

Nothing towards phone but I NEED gas to get to my interview tomorrow. I didn't make shit today. $danirockasota V: djamiempls

I don't want to do this, but I need help I need to escape an abusive situation I don't know how much I need so I'll just put a ballpark around $1000. I don't know if I'll have to leave earlier than October 1st to go into a hotel to get away from her. Any help is appreciated $jadeskarlettdragon

Need this ASAP since my phone is how I work right now. $danirockasota V: djamiempls

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

leftists tend to dislike rightwing freaks like the Kirks for *very* good reasons. might be worth checking out why progressives dislike a conservative before you uncritically rush to defend them. supporting a neonazi who allegedly sex trafficked children isn’t very enlightened & centrist of you :/

This is just awful, but I had no idea what these terms meant.

popping back in from mat leave to say i profiled @katmabu.bsky.social for @wired.com and you should read it! she's running a fascinating campaign: www.wired.com/story/kat-ab...

And by the way, almost every single Neo-Nazi I track on a daily basis believes strongly that Tucker was talking about Jews. Message received.

Here’s the truth about Charlie Kirk you didn’t see at the rally or in The New York Times www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

What’s the fucking point of electing someone with a D after their name if they’re promising not to help fight republicans who hate women? Frankly, if you’re “pro-life” I suspect you’re conservative in other ways that will fuck over people across the spectrum of ethnicity, gender, and culture.

This next to the halftime show was when my generation got Prince. I think we were so bathed in the image era of pop that we assumed Prince had to be the same. So seeing that he not only could play guitar but was better than anyone ever was at it convinced us he was real.

If it can run Windows 10, it'll run Windows 11.

tbh if you know a teenager (any teenager, no matter who they are or how well you think they're doing) please go and tell them that you think they're great and you like them. you don't need to elaborate. just say it. they'll be awkward and uncomfortable about it. but they'll remember it forever

Oof!

55 years ago today, Mary Tyler Moore premiered. The masterpiece that is Chuckles Bites The Dust.

I’ve made comics for 30 years. Seeing the circle go around with new talent is heartwarming. All the cries of “comics are dead” falls at the feet of creativity. #comics #creators #graphicnovels #comicnews #comicbooks

In the hundreds of mass shootings I studied from 2014-2019, 4 were trans. The entire idea that trans people are a high risk of violent crime is insane.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Stop making me agree with the guy who made Superstar Limo

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
