@Sourcebooks
for giving me this opportunity set the patriarchy in fire
no one should have to say this but if your feminism doesn't include trans women it isn't feminism at all
supporting jkr in any capacity and being a feminist are mutually exclusive
super disappointing
@mindykaling
james patterson, one of the richest authors in the world, thinks its hard for 52 year old white men to succeed
because, as we all know, old white men are so poorly represented as writers in film, tv, theatre, and publishing
Marion deserves better.

As a poor kid, I loved the HP books. My 11th bday, I cried under the covers when I realized I wouldn't be leaving for a magic school.
I know what it's like to have solace in JKR's worlds once.
But her words, money, & work have caused irreparable harm to our trans siblings.

i feel like everyone is born with one or two bullshit sixth senses/talents
like, i can always tell when something of mine is done baking without needing a timer
and i can hear a few stanzas of a song in a movie and pretty consistently pinpoint who the composer is
what's yours?
WHO THE FUCK MASTURBATES WITH A COFFEE TABLE BOOK?!?! AND ALONG A COFFEE TABLE??? This whole thing is so unhygienic 😷

For 2020, I ask all female + marginalized writers to write with the confidence of an old white man who knows any ink he puts to paper will become published
If you're unfollowing me because I said trans women are women, don't feel the need to announce.
I truly don't give a fuck.
Trans women are women, JKR is a TERF.
See yourself out.
Male writers, this is a bullshit excuse. All women are asking for is to not be objectified at every turn of the page.
If your excuse for not writing female characters is that you'll "fuck it up", you're essentially admitting that you cannot write women without sexualizing them
my doctor: getting an IUD is quick and easy! you’ll only feel a dull pinch, like a bad cramp
me: *almost passes out*
I don’t regret getting my IUD at all, but fuck do I wish I’d known that there could be very real pain so I could prepare better
can't wait for everyone to tell me this is 'just how the character thinks' BECAUSE THE NARRATOR IS A DAMN DOG (THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN, Garth Stein)
i see jk rowling is trending again so here’s your reminder that trans women are women and that it’s ok to realize a beloved childhood series was and is highly problematic

To support her is to know that YOUR money is being used to actively cause harm.
There is no amount of mental gymnastics one can do to rationalize supporting her if you care about trans people.
NONE.

What the actual fuck. It’s 2020. Far past time to stop supporting pedophiles. I know a lot of y’all support King, but I HIGHLY encourage you to look beyond the pages towards what this man stands for
Every time I tweet about JKR being a terf I lose followers.
To be explicitly clear, I don't care. Trans people are people, trans women are women, trans men are men.
Anyone who says differently can kick rocks.
It’s hilarious to me that
@StephenKing
is calling out criticism of a white author who wrote of an immigrant experience she knows nothing about when homeboy writes women like they’re lampshades at a discount furniture outlet and says he writes all characters equally
Also, for those saying "THIS CAN'T BE REAL." I'm so sorry, it is.
It's from the 1978 story meeting between the three of them. You can read the transcript here:

feel free to drop your recos, too!
i think about this a lot when i’m at bookstores searching for a book by a female author that i KNOW is fantasy…
oftentimes i can’t find it in the fantasy section
it’s in the YA section
men by default are filed as adult, women have to earn it
Women being filed in YA when they're not is a major problem in our genre. It just gets parents mad at us when they give their kids our books and assume a safety we never promised.
When people get all up in my replies to defend King and say, “We’ll I’ve read lots of horror novels by many different authors and King does a better job than most writing women.”
What they MEAN is they’ve read many different MALE authors.

Pinky Gloves (

Where do we even begin? There is nothing unhygienic about period blood. This is period shaming.
Hey
@PeterBradshaw1
&
@guardian
can you kindly explain what the fuck this description is??????
AND WHY YOU FELT THE NEED TO WRITE IT AND THEN PUBLISH IT
Bags and purses of any size are not permitted, including backpacks, clutches, totes, clear bags, and camera bags. Only bring necessary items that fit in your pocket. Wallets without chains/straps are allowed.
I--I don't even know where to begin but there's no reason this book should have 3.5 stars on Amazon

using a gotcha tweet to talk about a legitimate issue is not cute or funny, and it minimizes the message you are trying to convey
this tweet is SO obviously written by a man and it is incredibly disturbing that it was approved for release
@burgerkinguk
should be ashamed
