okay so since making this post i've become the target audience
I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare
We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*
You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.
*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
reblog this if you’re jewish or your blog is a safe space for jewish people
in light of recent events as well as a new rise in creating nazi ocs I think this post is an important one to have on your blog if you stand behind your jewish followers or are jewish yourself.
If you can’t reblog this unfollow me.

Finding this on my normal dash is like taking a stroll through the Park and suddently stumbeling upon the Codex Hammurabi just lying there.
Real.
Sci-fi short stories are so efficient; they take 15 minutes to read and then you think about them for the next 5 years
Hey guys, what if *puts the most horrifying mindblowing concept into your head with about 15 pages*
I maintain a doc for all my favorite short stories (and will be combing this thread for more to add, trust) but some that are pertinent here:
for sheer economy you can do no better than "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson, which is literally less than two goddamn pages
"It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby (famously adapted into the Twilight Zone episode of the same name)
"The Screwfly Solution" by Alice Sheldon (better known under the penname James Tiptree Jr)
"-- All You Zombies--" by Robert Heinlein (just go into this one blind, I promise you)
"Go Starless in the Night" by my personal GOAT, Roger Zelazny
And of course you can take your pick of anything written by Ray Bradbury
"Whether someone understands it or not, these are the consequences of the political views they're espousing" is a pretty important analysis tool for online movements because quite honestly, over half of everyone engaging in politics online have no foundations for the stuff they're saying and are just saying whatever makes them feel like a member of an in-group.
If your in-group is "the left" you're very much not immune to this. In fact, trying to do left-wing politics without even trying to build a foundational political understanding is a great way to end up as a neo-nazi with a tumblr accent rather than an effective left-wing advocate.
You know that whatever character did those problematic things isn't like. Real, right?
You are aware that a fictional character is just a rhetorical construct designed to fulfill a narrative/thematic purpose right? That their actions are written by an author who wants to use them to explore complex ideas and moral gray areas within the safe confines of fiction right? That they aren't a real person who has killed real people right?
A lot of "progressives" on this hellsite in particular would benefit from understanding that all oppression is ultimately economic in nature (that is, the primary axis is RICH versus POOR). Other forms of bigotry, including racism, sexism/misogyny and ableism exist to reinforce the division between rich and poor (and by "rich," I mean billionaires and CEOs, not surgeons, actors or anybody who simply owns a house). So when discussing any kind of bigotry, the first question has to be:
"How does this bigotry benefit the RICH?"
Racism initially existed to rationalize chattel slavery (free labour for the RICH), and today is also used to convince poor whites that non-whites receiving social benefits comes out of their pocket (the RICH deflecting their faults onto another party)
Ableism benefits the RICH because, to the RICH, a POOR person's only value is their labour, "productivity," and "usefulness." If you're not "useful," you're irrelevant to the system controlled by the RICH.
Misogyny exists because conditioning men to hate women sets them up to accept other forms of hatred (racism, ableism), and with it imperialism and authoritarianism. And conditioning women to hate themselves makes them believe the notion that their only purpose is childbirth. Capitalism benefits from producing as many workers as possible; that's the real reason people like Musk are so concerned about birth rates and shit
Trans women, men and enbies are oppressed because the RICH want to subject us to the above anti-male and anti-female prejudice. Note that the "anti-male" prejudice spoken of here is still (trans)misogyny because it's rooted in the idea that being feminine is contemptible, especially in those who aren't meant to be feminine in their eyes.
Bigotry stems from the bigot's perception of a person, regardless of what they really are. So if a misogynist sees their victim as a woman, it's misogyny, no matter if the victim is a cis woman, a feminine cis man, a trans woman, a trans man (whom Patriarchy sees as a woman), or enbies of any kind.
All propaganda to be racist, sexist/misogynist, ableist, etc. exists for the benefit of the RICH, and is spread by them to that end. No one, including those one might see as "privileged," is inherently, irredeemable evil. One is only "evil" vis-à-vis how they relate to the RICH/POOR axis.
I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.
It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.
