That time of year is approaching again, and lots of people will be thinking about signing up for Veganuary. What is it, why is it, and how popular is it?

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
So, someone told you that supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans, and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it…

Science is political in so many ways. One of them is reflected in #citation politics. And we all do it, willingly or not.

Alt: a man in a suit is holding three boxes of pizza. He enters an apartment with a happy expression that dissolves into horror upon realising that in the short time he was away everything is on fire and someone is having a dramatic medical emergency.
