I'm not sure why this has been posted for 12 hours already, and doesn't have 100,000 likes yet. Well, here's one for you!

Another curious call to know what it was.

I love when I see a book where the reviews in StoryGraph are all either, "What did I just read? 5 stars!", or "What did I just read? 1 star."

I know that book is going to be an adventure!

Always possible, though I did check out their profile before replying.

But sometimes it's worth replying for the other folks reading. There's this weird movement to try to pretend JKR isn't terrible. But she is. She does real harm to real people. We should face that fact.

Yes.

I'm old enough to be a grandparent. Does that meet your age criteria for having an opinion?

Joanne uses her position of power to target a population subject to discrimination. Do you understand how that compares to what the KKK does? It's not the same. But you can compare them.

I run a library used book sale. I'll move boxes for a few hours Thurs & Fri setting up, then am on my feet at the sale Fri night, all day Sat, and a few hours Sun.

It's like I ran a marathon. Mostly it's just the nonstop standing that does me in, even more than the lifting boxes.

Some conservative dude in my local town Facebook group posted that he was scared to park his cybertruck in public.

You know what? Good. I hope everyone is too embarrassed to park their ridiculous cybertrucks in public, and worried about the negative attention they're garnering.

Someone said, "COVID's over" to me in the grocery store.

Hmmm. Seems like the party of personal responsibility gets awfully bent when I mask to, you know, take some personal responsibility toward preserving my health.

Anyway, solidarity, fellow masker!

They aren't wrong...

Weirdly, I'm not sure if you're talking about the car dude, the transphobic author lady, or some other rich jerk. There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire, but they'd be a lot cooler eating tacos on the beach instead of using their obscene fortunes to target the most vulnerable.

At the height of the pandemic closures, I got a stoned grocery store cashier who complained non-stop about people wearing masks wrong. She hit all the right notes: hilarious and brutal. It is still my all-time favorite grocery trip. Please always give me no-filter comedian cashiers!
