How is this difficult to understand? She wrote the books. The books are hers. The books themselves promote anti-trans attitudes, regardless of whether or not they have anti-trans themes. Anyone who still consumes any of her work is transphobic. It really is that simple.

Yeah a wrong username means both are wrong. That’s not how it works, that’s not how any of this works.
Even if you download it and J.K.R. doesn’t see a penny you’re still engaging with media that is anti-trans and that’s just as bad. There is no ethical consumption of her work, full stop.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•🧬Cells at overwork🧬—Zach | lastplacecomics.com
7·6 days agoAlmost a good biology joke, except that for most cell types mother cells cease to exist once they split into two daughter cells. So it would have made more sense for their relationship to resemble more an aunt-neice relationship than a mother and son.
Learning to not ask questions, feeling like a pleb when everyone else is a guru, and having RTFM yelled at you is part of the Linux experience. What else do you expect me to do when someone asks me a question? Provide that new user with a level headed answer that concisely addresses their problem in-order to encourage them to join the Linux community and help it to grow? Are you even listening to yourself right now, you sound crazy.

18·14 days agoEven then, I’ve heard many people who drank the MAGA cool’aid who complain about Trump’s policies doing terrible things to them personally. Then in the same breath remark that at least he isn’t a Democrat. Anyone who still supports him will always support him, there is no longer any middle ground. It’s for or against, that’s it.

The weirdest thing is it didn’t seem to start out that way. I remember the first season actually having strong jokes. I specifically remember one about spherical chickens that was truely hilarious because it was a nerd joke on a prime time tv show. Then came season two, with it the show tried to become more relatable to the ‘average viewer’ and it was just bullying on TV.

I’ll agree with you that Taylor Swift is not a billionaire of biggest concern. It’s not black and white, it’s a scale of grey. That said, anyone with over a billion UD dollars in personal and private wealth is in the you shouldn’t have that much money club. Full stop. That’s black and white. The grey comes in with how much over are you and what did you do to get it. Taylor Swift is not like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Peter Thiel, but she does have too much money and probably doesn’t do enough to encourage new talent who would be her competition. She’s a capitalist, just not the worst kind.
Add on all the bullshit they hide in their contracts to cover liability. Fuck Disney saying that their customers can’t sue them because they paid for a Disney Plus account. Should be legal but apparently it is.
I worked retail in those days, it was crazy. It was common for a few fights to break out. One time I remember pulling out a new skid of Christmas trees and I didn’t even get to the main isle before customers mobbed the skid. My manager was so pissed off at me for not stopping them but how can one person stop dozens of people without any help. Black Friday was gross and BFCM is no better.



I’d rather they do something with substance than just a performance. There is zero chance that this follows through and all it will do it give Trump more ammunition for the next person who questions his fitness to serve. Unless there’s an actual chance that impeachment or invoking the 25th amendment might go somewhere it’s just political theatre.
