‘B Rosenberger Rosenberg’? ‘Inigo Cutbirth’?!?!? I have time for Thomas Pynchon (at least early Thomas Pynchon) but by god he uncorked of a whole tide of (let’s face it) middle aged white dudes who think whimsical and occasionally violent things happening to people with silly names for nearly a thousand pages is what…

The audiobook is read by John Moschitta.
As someone who has liked all of Kaufman's film's, this sounds dreadful. Reading critics can't be fun when you're a filmmaker, but it's not like critics have it out for Charlie Kaufman. He's probably more well liked by critics than the general public.
Have you read the book? I can’t tell from your comment
Her point if you read her entire 11 tweet diatribe is that medications used to treat both depression and gender dysphoria are dangerous and shouldn’t be used particularly cross-gender hormones. Claiming anti-depressants are overprescribed increases the stigma for those who need anti-depressants to function.
She sure keeps making it harder!
I haven't seen someone so effectively dig there own grave so thoroughly.
Her Twitter tagline being “Writer sometimes known as Robert Galbraith” seems like the ultimate irony, but then she herself has said in previous tweets that she experienced something like gender dysphoria at some point. We can only speculate, but maybe she belongs in the same category with Lindsey Graham and that…
Substantively it’s not much different from the homophobes who trotted out their gay friends who opposed gay marriage.
“I love trans women but trans women are just a weird subset of men and also some of them are probably just faking it and I’m afraid they’re going to grope me in the bathroom. Also trans men are really women whether they like it or not and they don’t get any say in the manner. Also all trans people are just gays and…
The tweet not only goes after trans individuals, but also those using anti-depressants as lazy or not being willing to put in the work. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again -- Why does JKR want to die on this hill of all hills?
Also there’s a massive difference in holding your silence after someone retweets false information about you personally and doing so when someone is posting porn after children’s art. Yet she seems to not only equavate the two, but both of those instances are used as examples of not going far enough to warrant a…
If you notice all her “trans friends” she’s publicly spoken with are those who are either out to get paid (no different than “Black for Trump” essentially) or have really bought into the “self-hating” manipulations.
“I love my Trans friend I just think they are abominations that shouldn’t exist” - what Rowling’s is really saying
Exactly. Like that comment needs context because what platform has someone posting porn after children’s art? And why did you say nothing? Either you are lying or you really dropped the ball there JK
It sounds like a fun read. For what it’s worth the term self-care started in the medical and mental health field, as a recommendation for certain patients (those with PTSD, the elderly, those recovering from certain ailments) and for medical and mental health professionals as a way to avoid burn out.
I read that part about porn being tweeted to children in a thread about their art so many times as that just came out of nowhere before disappearing back there. Like what the hell? What children? Were there some actions taken to address the situation? How does this relate to JK Rowling? Why would she just…
Rowling *unfollowed* Stephen King after he asserted his belief that trans women are women. That seems inconsistent with the compassion she professes to feel toward the trans community.
“...people who wear a “Bitches Get Shit” done T-shirt...” you might want to move those quotation marks over a bit although the typo makes me laugh!
