Naturally, they didn’t get much media attention outside of the LGBT press, even though every fucking tweet JKR posts gets an article written about it. But you can help spread the word. Tell your friends:

It's so annoying when people use social media to tell people that social media is terrible and you shouldn't care about any of it.

Often feels like the driver of that attitude is the desire for immunity from criticism. Some people thought they had that before social media and they really really want it back.

I can't see much evidence of internal push back at all. They've been working very hard to get rid of anyone who is willing to do that.

I don't think this example falls into that category. It is possible. But she didn't do it. She just straight up admires them.

People have made that argument. But it is a shitty argument. Nazi rhetoric is wrong.

Good intentions do not prevent harm from resulting from your actions. But it feels really nice to be able to assume they must. It makes everything so simple.

Some people are saying they suck and do have a useful critical analysis. Some people are just trying to insist that everything they like is inherently Good and everything they don't like is inherently Bad.

I just. The work of showing people how ableism is real and how their "everyday harmless status quo normal" beliefs and attitudes and behaviors are actually harmful can be like pulling teeth. Ableism is /so/ foundational. Folks will just straight-faced be like "but that /does/ make someone lesser."

I think it is reduced to a purely emotional thing because that's easier to reject and ignore. And that's also a product of ableism/rationalism.

Yes very much so. Rejecting the idea of objectivity was essential for my mental health recovery because it allowed me to reframe my narrative. But that has become very isolating when so many depend on the illusion of it.

I find it really odd when people say they have made no assumptions but it seems to happen a lot (not saying you have done this here, just a tangential thought)

I think we always need to make assumptions, but we should also try to always be aware of the fact we are doing so and be ready to change them if they're contradicted.

It makes little sense to talk about repression of protest, counterterrorism, and immigration/border control as separate policy areas. They're all part of the same white supremacist continuum.

Understanding the reasons for something doesn't have to mean excusing it. It can also mean learning how to fight it. We can choose which one we do.

Elections aren't binary choices, I don't think it helps to push the idea that they are. Especially seeing how toxic that is in the US.
