Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too!
Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live.
Don't let her see a dime!

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

Attacks on so many institutions at once (UO, U Chicago, Virginia Tech) just make the playbook clearer: manufactured fiscal exigency and/or actual financial mismanagement used to purge faculty and hollow out humanities education, w/ the current admin giving new cover for their own ideological agenda
A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.

I'm telling you: this is happening everywhere. Don't give me your dissembling about budgets or private/public or whatever. There is a complete wholesale attack on knowledge production and it is dismantling every university. They're starting with the Humanities b/c they know you'll let us die first.
just got word that my department's being shut down. two things:
1. no, i'm not okay. i've no words for how hard i've worked for this department and this institution. i feel betrayed, frankly, though i know it's not personal.
2. we rocked, y'all. i've no words for how hard we rocked, either.

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.
Ten authors and two judges withdrew from the Polari prize and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a petition calling on Polari to remove Boyne’s novella Earth from its longlist. Continue reading...
