Just so we’re clear: this blog does not support JKR or her transphobic and disrespectful tweets/thoughts. The wizarding world and the Potter fandom are for all people, as is the real world. Trans folks and everyone under the queer umbrella are valid, you exist, and I see you and respect you. JKR is not the be-all-end-all of the wizarding universe. You belong in this fandom more than she does.
some of the best tweets from the last few days
I’m just gonna jump right in:
Breonna Taylor. Nothing substantial has happened to rectify this situation yet. Not that anything can actually rectify what happened, but the officers, as of the time I’m writing this at 10pm on june 4th, have not faced any consequences.
Justice for Breonna Petition This petition only takes about fifteen seconds to sign, and if you follow through to step three, you can use the ‘one click’ sign feature on the sight to sign a host of other petitions. Petitions don’t always work of course, but many of the petitions for George Floyd were ‘victorious’ so they don’t accomplish nothing. Letting people know that millions of people are for or against something can be powerful
Fight for Breonna This is another petition demanding specific policy changes and for the charges against Kenneth to be dropped you can also go to the website directly to read about her story and find numbers you can call and people you can email about all of this HERE
There are still people out there that don’t know Breonna’s story. Share it. Force people to listen to what happened to her.
Her birthday is tomorrow. Cate Young put together a list of things that you can do to help HERE. One of the things that they are asking of people, is to send kind words to the family as they commemorate her birthday without her.
HERE is an article that was written yesterday that goes over what has and has not happened, it also talks about David McAtee. Educating yourselves is invaluable. If you don’t know what’s going on, then you’re being willfully ignorant. I know this is a lot to take in, I know it’s hard to stomach, but we have to pay attention and we have to do something about it so that it stops happening.
HERE is an article detailing David McAtee’s story. The cops are claiming that he shot first, but there is no body cam footage for some reason and they have not released who shot and killed him. The chief has been fired, only after it became public that the cameras were not turned on (tho the mayor fired him so it’s possible that he didn’t know about the cameras until after it became public knowledge.)
Petition for David McAtee Again, no one has been identified as his killer. The body cams were turned off, and they were responding to a break of curfew, so the fact that they showed up so heavily armed and threw pepper balls (it’s like a paintball full of pepper spray from what I understand) to disperse the group of people who were eating on the street corner in front of David’s restaurant.
go to the BLACKLIVESMATTER website. They have more information and resources than I could list here.
and the most uncomfortable bullet point… have those super hard conversations with your parents and your siblings and your friends. Show them the videos that the protesters are posting that show what is being done to them when they are being peaceful. You’re not going to change everyone’s mind, and even if you’re changing people’s mind, you won’t change it all the way with one conversation. This needs to be an on going thing.
I had a conversation with both of my parents today and didn’t walk away from it feeling completely dejected, so it’s possible! Even if it doesn’t seem like it. We talked about the protest that took place in the town we used to live in. How it was small and mainly white because black people still say that they avoid the town if at all possible. We talked about George Floyde and Breonna Taylor. We said their names and talked about why the protesters were so angry, and it felt productive. It felt like a (albeit small) step in the right direction. I listened as much as I spoke, I didn’t jump down anyone’s throat, because it’s my job as an ally to try and change people’s minds, especially the people who black voices don’t normally reach. If you get angry and defensive, people stop listening to you.
As an ally, it’s your job to have those conversations, with people you know. I know the impulse is to unfriend them, but don’t do that. If you do, then their echo chamber becomes that less diverse and they have fewer people to challenge the way they see the world. If you really hate the shit they post, just unfollow them, but don’t unfriend them.
Of course donate what you can. There are so many wonderful people doing so many wonderful things, and they need money to do these things. Protesters are being detained, they need bail. Medics are offering their services for free at protests, they need supplies. The families of those murdered need your support too. The blm site has links to everything in their ‘donate’ tab.
Also, Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin’s mother, is running for office in Miami! Support her campaign if you can!
Alright, I know that there was probably a lot that I didn’t say, I might want to say more later, but this is where I’m going to leave things tonight.
Be kind when you can, take care of yourself and your friends and do whatever you can to help. There is progress already being made! All of this is making a difference! Keep it up!
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Fuel campaigns to end State-sanctioned violence, liberate Black people, and end white supremacy forever.
This has been getting a lot of notes but if you can reblog the version with the link to donate that would be appreciated!
If you're not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it's incredible.
Yesterday evening, D.C. police forced a large group of peaceful protesters and demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in a tactic known as "kettling."
Kettling is a military technique to encircle people, to box them in on all sides, into a smaller and smaller and smaller space where they can't retreat or escape from. In American protests, it's often accompanied by police forces taking advantage of the fact that protesters can't retreat to inflict maximum harm with teargas, batons, and other weapons for an extended period before doing mass arrests.
It's not a dispersement technique, it's the complete opposite -- it's a technique of intense aggression, and it's controversial because it's seldom used in good faith and often results in intense prolonged violence, with the intention of also cutting everyone caught in the kettle off from medics, aid, food, water, the ability to leave, etc.
Last night, D.C. police pushed demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in an attempt to kettle them. But residents of the neighborhood had been watching, and threw open their front doors to protesters, including a first-generation Indian-American man named Rahul Dubey.
Rahul and his neighbors sheltered a hundred people or more, between them, for eight hours last night, including having teargas fired at their homes and having the police try to enter their private property several times through various methods. They were rebuked and dispelled every time.
Rahul and his neighbors orchestrated food, medical aid, and lawyers during the siege, including ensuring protesters had safe escorts this morning.
You can read the first-person accounts from the people who were trapped there:

The arsonist who set fire to the Autozone (video below) in Minneapolis has been identified as officer JACOB PEDERSON, a COP and NOT a protestor attending the Justice for George Floyd protests, by his ex wife. Pigs are framing arson on protestors demanding justice for the murder of an innocent Black man by killer cops.
“A bunch of undercover cops were the main ones starting the arsons!!!!!! Spread the word!!! https://t.co/eCBEAt9EOC”
learned stuff that really changed everything i thought i knew about someone i stanned hard for almost half my life ahahhaha :) im not coping well :(

James Potter is the guy who was kind of a dick when he got to high school but cleaned up his act by junior year and went on to become a human rights lawyer with the ACLU because he knew he could make more of a difference fighting for what’s right instead of getting into schoolyard brawls
Severus Snape is the guy who thinks that just because you’ve been friends for years you’ll eventually have sex with him and then after you drop him like a hot potato because hes been spending too much time on 4chan and reddit and started hanging out with guys who make racist and sexist remarks and then say “it’s just a joke!!” only for him to call you a slur in front of the whole school he joins a white supremacist group with his new buds and starts harassing women and minorities online and then in public and then is arrested for planning to shoot up a women’s college only to get off because he’s a white guy and now he teachers at your old high school
i can’t like.. casually read. either i read 7,000 pages in a span of two days without food or sleep and forget to fucking breathe or i don’t ready anything, not even road signs for six months
Can we have a Harry Potter AU where Regulus Black is the Death Eater spy turned potions master instead of Snape?
I can’t believe I only JUST realized all the comedy potential that is Sirius showing up to kill Peter 3rd year and finding his supposedly evil brother working at Hogwarts and having civil conversations with Remus about Harry’s grades
Please let this be after a full year of awkwardness of Regulus working with his evil brother’s ex
Sirius and Regulus are both convinced they’re the good brother
anyway my personal headcanon is that james & lily’s headstone didnt have middle names bc lupin knew that, even in death, james wld never want snape to know his middle name was fleamont
u know whats wild. everyone on here like 20 and when i first joined everyone was like 14 15. u ask anybody n they been here for years. nobody new on here. staff locked the doors n were all Stuck Inside
Tag your current age and how old you were when you joined Tumblr
Canon: This is how the story goes
Fanfiction writers:
ron weasley really, at the age of thirteen, stood on a broken leg between his best friend and a man he thought to be a mass murderer and said “if you want to kill harry, you’ll have to go through me first” and yet some of y’all STILL think he was a bad friend/person/character

It’s Settled
Ao3 | FF.net
“It’s settled,” Lily announced to her friends Dorcas and Mary. “Next time Potter asks me out, I’m going to say yes.”
“Ooh!” Dorcas squealed. “Finally! I thought you might spend the whole year in denial!”
“Aye.” Mary arched an eyebrow. “What’s changed, love?”
“I dunno, we exchanged letters over summer. It was nice.” Lily fiddled with her Head Girl pin. “And now we’re co-Heads. Just seems like the timing’s right, you know?”
“Aye.” Mary nudged Dorcas slyly. “Maybe timing’s right for everyone, nae?”
“We’re talking about Lily,” Dorcas said, blushing. She giggled. “I’m excited for you.”
Lily beamed. “Me, too.”
****
“It’s settled.” James grimaced and pinned his Head Boy badge to his robes. “I’m not going to ask Evans out anymore.”
“Prongs, it’s the perfect opportunity!” Peter said. “You’ll be working side-by-side all year!”
“Yeah,” Remus agreed. “Have you got that kind of self-control?”
“I’ll have to.” James sighed. “We’re working together, and she’s just stopped thinking I’m an arrogant berk. We’ve sort of become friends.”
“Hmm.” Sirius’ eyebrows dipped low. “You’re probably right.”
“‘Course I am,” James said confidently. (He was not confident). “See you later, I’ve got to do rounds.”
His friends nodded, solemn as priests. “Good luck.”
****
“I think he’s over me.”
Mary laughed. “‘Course nae, pet. What’re ye on about?”
“I dunno.” Lily shrugged. “He just seemed different on rounds last night. Distant.”
“Well, you were working,” Dorcas noted. “Maybe he’s taking this new job seriously?”
“I’ll bet that’s it,” Marlene agreed. “Catch him off duty, and I’m sure he’ll be his usual cheeky self.”
“I’m sure you’re right,” Lily said. (She was not sure).
“I am,” Marlene said firmly. “I’ve known James my whole life. He’ll never be over you.”
“Trust Marley,” Dorcas agreed. Mary nodded.
Believing them made Lily feel better. So, she did.
****
When James entered the Great Hall for supper, his gaze immediately landed on Lily—and the empty seat beside her.
A friend would sit there, obviously, so he did.
“All right, Evans?”
She smiled brightly. “I’m all right. You?”
That smile knocked him senseless.
“Mmhmm.” He struggled to recover his wits. “Hungry. Is that kidney pie?”
“Yep.” She passed it over. “You just finished Quidditch trials, right?”
“Right.” He tried not to be pleased she knew his schedule. “Team looks strong.”
“Brilliant.” Her eyes sparkled. “Looking forward to seeing you play.”
James’ heart skipped a beat.
He was in trouble.
****
