There's a TSA "security" dog at the airport who is completely fixated on shaking his squeaky bunny toy. He may not be good at his job but he is a good boy.

Rep @rokhanna.bsky.social, Elon Musk threw up Sieg Heils, let Nazis back on Twitter, and has repeatedly spread and repeated white supremacist memes and language.
You're not only committing a grave political mistake, you're violating the most basic standards of ethics and morality.
Shame on you.

The ONE thing about that anti-DEI piece in C&RL that I KIND of resonate with personally is sharing "the last 5 books you read". Happy to talk about how I read/support diverse creators but I'm not divulging my pathetic reading schedule.

I am disappointed to see John Lithgow in this. Roberta Muldoon in Garp was the first real portrayal of a trans person I had ever seen, and he talked about what heartfelt responses he got from trans people. Now getting paid to make JKR richer?

HBO reveals first part of Harry Potter TV cast, including Dumbledore and Hagrid
John Lithgow confirmed in Dumbledore role, with Paapa Essiedu playing Severus Snape and Nick Frost as Hagrid
