I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Lmao look at this rag. Littered with either wilfully ignorant or plain old stone stupid people.
Nobody cares because it's fucking 20 years old and the young people today know exactly who JK Rowling is.

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

i am not a single issue voter but support for trans rights is basically my go to to political litmus test. for obvious reasons but also i find this to be remarkably true
Nobody is ever *solely* a transphobe. You never hear somebody described as an otherwise-compassionate, sane and insightful person who has this weird anomalous transphobic blind spot. It's usually their most visible bigotry because (in the UK, certainly) it's the most tolerated.

also, everyone is bots (not as much here unless you are interacting with huge threads on like breaking news, but the absolute vileness of comments on eg instagram are what drove me to basically quit using it).

"someone is wrong on the internet" you can simply not reply. "this person's statement is inaccurate" well that is simply not my business

i am not proud of many things about myself but i genuinely believe my ability to hear someone being confidently wrong and go - huh. well. alright. that's one way of seeing it - is one of them
I once read a thread on sexism in international relations/spying where women were instructed to make wrong claims about X whenever they wanted to get secret information on X; a man would just disclose the key info by means of mansplaining

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

thinking about what makes a person “good” for society and it’s just:
- empathy and the ability to put it in practice
- curiosity / smarts / creativity / perseverance
it’s that easy, right?

so fun fact, apparently ten years out from being a practicing classical musician is not long enough to stop having nightmares where you are suddenly confronted by someone else’s quest for artistic perfection, get an opportunity to perform something great, and realise you didn’t prepare your parts
