Jesus, as a teacher I better inform all the kids who have been hooked on her books that they should drop these dangerous weapons !

You are unquestionably deranged. What has she *actually* done?

“has literally already resulted in children losing access to healthcare....etc” - evidence?

Again, where has she specifically said this is what she is arguing for? I’m not a huge JK fan (not really into HP ever) nor do I think she should be deified (although I support her stance on taxation of the wealthy) but I think it’s totally disingenuous to basically invent a position there is no indication she…

Have you actually read anything she’s actually written about this? It doesn’t sound like you have at all. The UK is not the US - there is a very different legal picture over here.

Used to love this website - but don’t think you can call yourself anything close to a feminist website when you’re basically condoning violent threats directed at a woman.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is right. JK Rowling is not transphobic. Anyone who *actually* read her personal essay would know this.https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/

This is a company that has, does, and will always objectify women. Why would transwomen want to be objectified too? Let the company collapse. #comfyundiesarethebestanyway

Trump is a sack of cat vomit but I’m afraid on this, Katy Perry is wrong. Of course this is about politics. The political decision to roll back environmental protections, to pull out of the Paris accord, to continually deny climate change, to defund scientific research and denounce programmes which would seek to…

I think this reflects a wider problem with a country that far too often puts the focus on the superficial, rather than the substantive policy issues. Hence you end up with a reality TV star holding the most powerful office in the land. It shouldn’t matter what their ‘personal journey’ is, this isn’t some X-factor back…

Totally agree with you - but tbh that live stream sounds like the kind of thing you accidentally stumble onto at 3am when you’ve fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole

Honestly, I find this show deeply problematic (as I said in my previous comment). Whilst I appreciate your reading of it, for me the male rape fantasy was simply overpowering. It’s not so much the narrative (which, as you identify, creates some backstory for the victims) but rather the cinematography. The way in which…

I love Gillian Anderson, but can you really call The Fall a “feminist crime show” ???

In the UK, mental health services are chronically underfunded, and often the result is that people who need longterm care are abandoned to the point where they require A&E, which is a system set up to cater for acute cases and therefore cannot meet the demand or address the needs of mental health patients (it is also…

The reasoning here is very troubling:

Clinton was/is a shill and a warmonger, but were I an American that would not have stopped me from voting for her last November when ignorant orange fuckface was the alternative.

I saw a production of Blasted at the Soho Theatre by the amazing Graeae Theatre Company, which was very disturbing (and I understand that this is primarily at the heart of the play).

I saw Woman in Black in London in about 2002, and that was genuinely terrifying. It still freaks me about just thinking about it now, on a sunny day, in a crowded office.

Yey 1984! I was born that year. Which means I am both hyper-sensitive to the dynamics totalitarian power AND simultaneously always know how to put the boom-boom into my heart

Reblissa Wilcarthy indeed
