Alright. Let's get this morning started with a deep dive into the transphobia against trans men that Pamela Paul's defense of JK Rowling both contributes to and ignores.
Yes, I will keep beating this drum. Because Rowling's transphobia against trans men is some of the most explicitly stated transphobia she has engaged in, and I have quotes for days.

Medium article: "Coding won't exist in five years. This is why."
First paragraph: "once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, handmade clothing was the norm."
Comrade. Friend. I really need to tell you that clothing is still hand made. We just exploit people in the global south to make tons of it cheaply.

Liberals, this is why everyone else is disgusted by y'all. Celebrating people getting poisoned because of who the majority of voters in those places voted for is reprehensible. https://twitter.com/Normal_Writing/status/1625226277014700034

Nurses are striking because people are dying
The Government is to blame. If you agree and you support the nurses reply with a 💙.
I feel so threatened
By the war mongering shite

If you ever needed confirmation that white conservatives use "woke" to say "Black" (or more precisely, "nigger"), see this woman froth in rage that someone's making bandages for, ahem, woke skin. https://twitter.com/randysharpswife/status/1618366220876779520
