Everett True was a daily strip in the early 20th century about a heavyset man who regularly knocked the crap out of people for being mean to kids, rude, awful to women, and racist. There hasn't been a new comic since 1927. I decided to change that.

In all seriousness, re: JK Rowling's transphobia and antisemitism and racism and the general badness of Harry Potter: I believe in breaking up with artists and pieces of art. I do. I think it's healthier than separating art from artist, and involves more critical skills. When I say breaking up, here's what I mean: Don't give them your cash. Don't give them your time. Don't recommend them to people, or at least not without a serious caveat. And in this case, don't read them to your children.

"I hate my job but it pays too well to leave" is just an abusive relationship in different framing

Sara Ahmed in 2015:
“Whenever people keep being given a platform to say they have no platform, or whenever people speak endlessly about being silenced, you not only have a performative contradiction; you are witnessing a mechanism of power. I often describe diversity work as mechanical work. We know a lot about the mechanisms of power when we try to transform the norms embedded in a situation. The power of some to determine the discourse is often upheld by being concealed or denied. We need as feminists to offer some counter explanations of what is going on than the explanations offered by this letter. The narrative of “being silenced” has become a mechanism for enabling and distributing some forms of expression. Indeed I would even argue that the narrative of being silenced from speaking has become an incitement to speak: it incites the very thing it claims is being stopped.”

I audibly gasped when I saw this and my partner correctly deduced that they should take a photo immediately
