Little bit funny how people's dislike of Harry Potter has now lapsed into like complete and total dismissal. The other day I was at a flower show and the theme for the displays at this particular flower show were book themed. And of course an admiring crowd went round and did the circuit of displays, ooh-ing and aah-ing at various renditions of The Railway Children and Little Red Riding Hood and taking photos. All extremely cool. And then they got to the Harry Potter section and there was just a complete blank look on a lot of people's faces. They didn't even comment like with the other displays, they simply walked by giving each other what-the-fuck-is-this shrugs. My sister is getting offered the opportunity to go to Harry Potter World by her college for art purposes this year and she said people were so distinctly unpsyched by even the offer of a very cheap coach trip and abysmally low priced tickets that they were already counting themselves out of the trip months in advance. There are stores with discount Gryffindor lunchboxes and scarves piling up desperately by the masses. Little stickers on them denoting price drops. Some stickers on top of others. Nobody gives a fuck about Harry Potter. It's all terribly exciting. I hope the HBO show is the nail in the coffin and we can finally put this shambolic corpse to a stake through the chest rest

the time to be a mean dyke is now. be a killjoy feminist and take things too seriously, we’ve been too nice about girl math and girl dinner and pink jobs and the general infantilization of women and it’s gotten us nowhere. be a buzzkill now, for our future and our dignity

tag: "I don't know that I'm allowed to as a trans woman...ALT

gently grabbing your shoulders as i say yes you are & it’s very important that you do, we need every trans woman and girl standing up for herself right now. i’m not saying it will be easy or that you won’t be met with backlash but these are conversations we need to have and misogynists, particularly transmisogynists need to feel uncomfortable and think twice before spouting off some regressive bullshit. we can do this!!

Date someone who will stick their soul in your head and die to avoid losing an argument

Date someone who will carry that soul, find your body, bring you back to life and stick that soul back into your head to continue that argument
