I'm tired of being surrounded by jk Rowling fans and not screaming their ears bloody.

"But I grew up with her books!" I left an entire religion I grew up with, try again.

"Separate the art from the artist" go literally drink cyanide.

Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you

I hope you trip on one of her books and crack your skull open you despicable spineless fucking cunts.

I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy her work without feeling their stomach turn and their blood boil. Even forgetting the fact they're actively funding her actions, this really is just one evil evil bitch.

People who pretend to be my ally the read her shit piss me off more that actual terfs.

It's nice to knowca derivative children's book means more to you than me and my people.

can’t believe shinji got beat out by a honest to god squid

Fastfood workers carry more weight in society than any giant robot.

He’s older, he put more years in.

a lot of shinji's problems would be solved by transitioning but squidward is just like this forever

I hate when people say stuff like "oh if seatbelt laws or asbestos bans happened today, they would be controversial!"

Like. They were. There were a lot of people - influenced by multi-billion dollar campaigns - who were against it and thought it was sissy libturd shit.

Asbestos wasn't fully banned in the US until March of 2024

I am a woman, legally or not. i am a lesbian, legally or not. I will not have my sense of self removed by some rich mold riddled children's author or the supreme court.

Facts don’t care about your oppressive “laws”

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?

There's Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there's LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!

A couple I donate to: TransAid Cymru, to support Welsh trans people, and The Outside Project, which helps queer people in London struggling with homelessness (and as trans people make up a disproportionately large number of unhoused people, it feels very relevant.)

Goes without saying, but don't donate to Pride Cymru, because they're complete shit.

There is the Terrence Higgins Trust as well, their main aim is HIV/AIDs activism in the UK. They have complied a list of resources for transgender, non-binary and genderqueer people in the UK by region.

The Rainbow Project is Northern Ireland specific.

AKT also helps queer homeless people, with specific resources available for transgender people and nonbinary & genderqueer people.

This is probably a very predictable take but I think new-age AI (ChatGPT, Character AI, Gen AI, etc) is an absolute scourge in every possible way. As a programmer, it's impressive in terms of software but should have absolutely NEVER been released to the public for use lmao (or even released for use at all, considering the negative impact it's had on education, job losses, misinformation, the environment, etc)

It doesn’t matter what mental gymnastics you do to justify your consumption of Harry Potter.

Your second-hand shopping, piracy and fanfic don’t exist in a vacuum and it continues to provide JK Rowling with the cultural capital to inflict hurt on vulnerable people.

A deeply evil person.

So, her plan was to join forces with an US-based, far-right, anti-feminism and anti-queer group, and cheer when they make it legal for some random jerks to harass women...?

also I am told my blog is back from being unblurred. that's cool and all, and I'm glad, but don't forget the transfems, black bloggers, and Palestinians who have been erased here. that's all.

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

Context.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

The Felidae

The majesty.

And then there is your cat. Mitzi. Black and white tuxedo cat. Recently got her head stuck in an empty peanut butter jar. Feels the need to be in the room when you shit.

Majestic.

Mitzi did nothing wrong.

Me, a cat: *little sniff* These collages are always so great.

Here's a silly phrase for ny'all:

So what the fuck is a "DButton" anyway? I've mentioned those a few times in my post about SCI game title menus.

Okay so how a dialog box works in SCI, be it a bit of story or something more interactive than that, is that a Dialog object is a kind of List. That makes no sense, right? Well, that dialog object has an associated Window but is itself a collection of controls. Does that help? Each of the controls added to this list that is the dialog must inherit from a special DItem class so that everything can play together nicely. These dialog items are:

All of these are drawn by the engine itself, using the type property to decide how it should look, but nothing stops you from having a custom draw method. Or from doing both at once.

Note that the Gauge is not a control, but an entire Dialog of a kind, building its own content from the text and values given.

That bar in the middle is a DText with up to (by default) 15 little black squares in it. Like "████ ".
