Do not watch the HBO series.
Do not buy wizard game (2).

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Talking things over helps, so never stop posting about it.

Always love seeing you around, so I hope you do keep getting out in the world.
We are all simultaneously your problem and you ours.
And I wouldn't have the fandom any other way!

The ghost of dog banner, which is like the Voice of Dog banner except the book being read is a Sinister Grimoire, the dog and book are tinted green, and instead of being in a library are hovering transparent in a starry sky.

Bluesky is how it was on the internet, before we realised we were fighting for the future of the human race.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
