       Note to cis people: If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating.I ask: Do you care more about nostalgia of fictional people?orDo you care about actual people like myself and our right to exist in society like you?This isn't a trick question. Do the right thing please. #trans

       A reminder Artemis II was a relic of Obama's term and this mission was a success in spite of trump, who defunded and harmed the success of NASA his entire time in office.Kudos to NASA and especially the Artemis crew who focused on the wonder and curiosity of the human spirit, on sharing feelings of what it's like to see the moon's dark side, and reminding us that love and hope are still possible even in this increasingly scary and fascist world.#Artemis #spaceflight

       Also, it's nice to hear GOOD news for once. The endless bad news is psychologically exhausting (which is what the Fascists want for us). So receiving nine days of good news that inspire wonder and hope? As we fight to end fascism, we need moments where we rest from the pain and exhaustion fighting entails. Artemis's wonderful journey to the moon gave us that respite.#artemis

       Earlier this week, I mentioned to someone when people (especially trans people like myself) attempt to point out JK Rowling's harm and how she funds it, the defenders of the Potter Universe swarm to derail and turn antagonistic if we suggest alternative books.They demand separation of author from their universe, and yet their responses show they can't separate Rowling from Potterverse. It's exhausting.As a writer, I think erasing the author is problematic when analyzing their works anyway.

       I know even writing that means those who respond either listen in support or prove my point.I want people to boycott JK Rowling, which means stop watching and buying anything she creates (which means Potterverse especially). As she uses these funds to harm trans people. We have proof with her own words no less that she uses the money that way.And yet, Potter defenders just derail and attack instead of listening. I'm just TIRED of it. Diagnosing this may or may not help idk.

       Please boycott JK Rowling. I do not have the health to listen to defenders of Potter on why they won't boycott. Take that somewhere else please.For those boycotting, here are alternative worlds from authors who are supportive of marginalized people:* Young Wizards series by Diane Duane* Emelan series by Tamora Pierce* Akata Witch series by Nnedi Okorafor* Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate* Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan* Legendborn series by Tracy DeonnShare others below!
