wanderings

( How it's been going for me - almost entirely under the cut because I'm assuming that where a lot of other people are these days is uninterested in reading anything related to J.K. Rowling. )

I think at this point, if you're actively engaging with HP fandom and you haven't written something in support of the trans community, that your support of J. K. Rowling and her aims is implied and real. Your silence is a cacophonous violence.

Where I am with HP fandom these days is inimically divorced and angrier than I've ever been. I'm not reading it, so I'm not reccing it. I'm continuing to use people's reactions to J.K. Rowling's name as a barometer of their stance on trans issues, and I am also so fucking sick of hearing her name, which is the reason that it's taken me about a year and a half to post this.

For some reason I found this very entertaining:

My Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom is: Hermione kills Neville Longbottom in a very sexy scene Get your Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom

 
Also: Today is Guy Fawkes Day. 

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I know of no reason

Why Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent

To blow up King and Parliament.

Three-score barrels of powder below

To prove old England's overthrow;

By God's providence he was catch'd

With a dark lantern and burning match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
