This seems like a good time for a reminder that you do not unfollow someone automatically when you block them. You need to unfollow before blocking (or go back and unblock briefly so you can unfollow and reblock).

Also, it looks like she's only just found about it today, following that new (and quite harrowing) article being published.

JKR complaining on Twitter that "literary" types who condemned Weinstein, are silent on the subject of Neil Gaiman.

Presumably she's failed to realise his former friends & fans probably blocked her a ++long time ago, and that's why she hasn't seen the condemnation that's been everywhere for months

Thank fuck for Gillick competence in the UK - although that has been targeted heavily by the anti-trans folk

I could live my whole life without ever seeing "slept with" as a euphemism for "had sex with", or on occasion, as you correctly highlight, "raped"

Just googled how much English councils spend on diversity schemes: about £30m per annum Which is no small beans, obviously. Total spend by English councils is a little over £100bn per annum.

That’s 0.03%.
