We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

Thomas Fearnley - Pergola with Oranges (ca. 1834)

i can sure hold a grudge but my grudges are often for the betterment of womankind so

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

The christian family in these memes (which are absolutely all over facebook these days) genuinely do always look miserable. Who the fuck is relating to these stock mormon farm cultists. That is a couple who made love only once in pitch darkness with bags on their heads then celebrated the pregnancy with a feast of uncooked potatoes and warm tapwater. The baby seems intrigued though. Maybe only by the bottle of pills??

things that I believe in my HEART are on the Beatles' message to Earth (Project Hail Mary)

• taumoeba (obviously)
• instructions on how to use taumoeba (obviously)
• 50+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace fucking up a bunch of stuff in the ship
• so much info about Eridian language
• 1700+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace and Rocky fucking up a bunch of shit in the ship
• Cannot emphasize how much info on the eridian sentence structure there is here
• a weirdass knit sweater pattern that takes people weeks to realize is for Rocky
• literally hundreds of pages of Grace just describing Eridian linguistic history which like honestly isn't even his field why should we even listen to this guy- (hes the only one to ever fucking met an intelligent alien Dave. we'll take him at his word)
• Why the Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots Part 2: Biological Diversity all across the Petrova Line (subtitled "We haven't found them yet BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT FUDHING EXIST-")
• what are essentially just those reaction videos "Alien watches Legally Blonde for the first time" "Alien gives thoughts on movie Cats (2019)" "You'll never believe what this Alien thinks of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox"
• Grace's modified cardigan charts because someone was asking for them on his Ravelry and he never actually got around to posting them
• (people have already fully recreated this cardigan just months after his launch. but they appreciate it)
• very respective, kind eulogies for everyone who died in this mission (Grace AND Rocky's crew)
• a lace shawl pattern inspired by the petrova line with a beaded fringe. knitters everywhere weep in despair because those instructions are gOD AWFUL, the man had 0 (zero) test knitters AND THERES NO PICTURES FUCK
• Rocky make Grace cringe compilation statement
• Grace's final goodbye to Earth ig

I am looking neither respectfully nor disrespectfully. I gaze without recognition of your form, and without understanding.
