  1. Republi d'acció travesti antifa (vist a insta)

    Els guanys anuals de la franquícia "Harry Potter" s'estimen entre 50 i 100 milions de dòlars. Amb un possible increment de 20 milions afegits anualment durant la següent dècada per la comercialització de la sèrie reboot d' HBO, amb previsió d'estrena a finals de 2026 i coincidint amb el 25è aniversari de l'estrena de "La pedra filosofal" i el seu re-llançament als cinemes.

    El patrimoni de JK. Rowling, en possessió dels drets de la franquícia s'estima, al 2026, en 1.200 milions de dòlars.

    Veu i executora dels feminismes transexcluients (TERF's) del Regne Unit, l'autora inverteix la seva fortuna, -que brolla de les seves novel·les de fantasia i l'explotació que se'n deriva- en derogar drets i lleis impulsades per la lluita colectiva trans, travesti, cuir, enbi, intersex i ACE.

    Entre els seus mèrits, tenim la redefinició biologicista i transexcloent de dona en la legislació britànica, havent financiat el grup impulsor de la campanya For Women Scootland gran part dels costos del cas judicial (uns 81850€). D'aquí se'n deriva deterioració d'atenció en la salut pública així com increment de la dificultat d'accés a hormones i inaccés als bloquejadors. Igualment s'estàn reforçant les polítiques d'expulsió de transfeminitats a espais de dones.

    També ha publicat una novel·la trànsfoba, sota un pseudònim, d'on en treu rèdit econòmic directe reproduint el mite criminalitzador de la persona trans agressora, alimentant així, a través de la literatura, pànics morals conservadoristes i subalteritzants.

    A nivell personal es dedica a assenyalar i assetjar persones trans online, ridiculitzant-les i caricaturitzant-les com a amenaçants, tillant-les de grup extremista i equiparant-les als cavallers de la mort de la seva saga fantàstica, alhora s'alinea i dona suport públic amb organitzacions trans-odiants i trans-negacionistes com Sex Matters o LGB Alliance.

    Actualment, enmig de l'auge reaccionari i la brutalitat bèl·lica colonial, naturalitzem la participació en els circuits econòmics que nodreixen el feixisme, recaient en la creença neoliberal que no tenim agència vers els desitjos de les oligarquies i Estats-Nació.

    No ens resignem

    La lluita travesti és la lluita antifa

  2. Book Review: ‘Murder Your Employer’ by Rupert Holmes

    Murder Your Employer is a novel I wanted to read based on the title alone.

    The story begins following Cliff Iverson. He’s on his way to – you guessed it – murder his employer. His employer caused the suicide of the woman he liked, and the murder of his best friend, all of whom worked for the same company. And he got fired in the process. But he fails in his “deletion”. And two mysterious folks are hot on his trail, but they don’t want to arrest him. Instead, Cliff Iverson ends up at an academy for wannabe murderers, with his tuition fees paid for by a mysterious benefactor. Think of it kind of like Hogwarts for adults instead of children, and for wannabe murderers instead of magic users.

    Once we get into it, we begin following two characters we meet along the way. They each have people they want to off, and their own reasons for wanting to do so. One is a nurse, Gemma, being blackmailed by her boss. The other is an actress, Dulcie, being blacklisted by hers. Each of the characters we meet are unique and likeable – even the bad ones. The plot is full of twists and turns, and you’ll be begging to know who survives the academy, and then who succeeds in the titular instruction. The writing is witty and clever, chock full of puns and plays on words. There are so many that many fly under the radar and go unnoticed. But they never become annoying or get in the way. The book is humorous already, but these additions elevate Holmes’s writing.

    Oh, and in case you didn’t know, the Rupert Holmes (fitting surname) who wrote this is the same Rupert Holmes of Escape (The Piña Colada Song) fame. So you can make a playlist for your reading sessions.

    I’m not a massive murder mystery fan (although this feels more like a ‘will they murder mystery’). Yet, I couldn’t resist this book’s charms. It pulled me in right away and kept my attention all the way through.

    If you like dark humour, give this book a go; if you have similar tastes to me, you’ll find it delightful.

    ★★★★☆

  3. @[email protected] Genocide is defined as any of certain acts that are committed with the _intent_ to destroy, in whole or just parts, a specific group. You don't even have to succeed in your attempts to destroy, you just have to have had the intention to destroy. If you can't see that J. K. Rowling is doing exactly that, then you have a pretty limited imagination.

    It doesn't require gas chambers or machetes or missiles to commit genocide.

    Whether it actually is genocide is up for debate, but denying it up front with the words "ridiculous" and "any stretch of the imagination" makes you look like an absolute asshole.

    Defending J. K. Rowling _and_ Effective Altruism, I wonder why I don't simply block you.

    Maybe you're just a lost young person who listened to the wrong people. But now that I explained both to you, you know better, so don't continue arguing or I'll block you.

    Edit: Fixed typo in altruism.

  6. It seems like every man and his dog has signed up to take part in the new "Harry Potter" adaptation, but some people have turned it down because of J.K. Rowling's transphobia. Ally Pankiw, a TV director who has worked on "Black Mirror" and "The Great," and "Loki" director Kate Herron wrote on Instagram yesterday about saying no to the show, with Pankiw writing in her caption: "It simply is this easy to say no to funding transphobia." Here's more from @AVClub.
