About Me! (whoops procrastination)
I meant for this to primarily be a Harry Potter fan blog, but ended up taking a long stroll through radfem lands... and now going to try for a better balance because I'm back in the mood for HP.
to get some stuff out of the way...
I'm Gender Critical/Radfem leaning (still learning)
Pro JKR. I used to be one of those 'oh it sucks that she's gone evil, what a shame' until I actually did some research. I figured if I was going to hate what what said and did, I should look to see what she said and did... and realized she was right. Boy, that was strange. Personally I love how passionate she is about charity work and is one of the very few people I've seen consistently bringing attention to the plight of women in Afghanistan. Here's a cool link to an article about her charities that I personally enjoy. Also I love her twitter. She is a bit unhinged and I love it.
Harry Potter wise, I'm mainly interested in canon and especially getting to read a good bit of analysis. Feels like I'm 20 years late to the party, but I'm here now, and rereading the series as an adult has been a very cool experience. Favorite characters are Dumbledore and Snape.
