To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just think her opinions, she doesn’t just say them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

I know we can't personal responsibility our way out of the US gov destroying our vital health departments. But wearing a high-quality mask (N95, KN95, etc) in public spaces is still the easiest best way you can protect yourself and community. If you quit masking, now is a good time to start again!

Cory Booker breaking Strom Thurmond's record filibuster of the 1957 Civil Rights Act, 24 hours and 18 minutes, while talking about John Lewis is very appropriate.

I think a lot about how Crazy Rich Asians made a ton of money, huge hit, beloved movie. Sequel, guaranteed hit. And then the Asian woman cowriting the script asked to be paid the same amount as the white man they paired her with, and the studio completely abandoned the sequel rather than do that

For what it’s worth, being kind and genuine and loving when so much of this world seems to thrive on hatred and cruelty and exclusion is far braver and courageous than joining in.

It's easy to say "we need creatives now more than ever!" but we're going through the fucking wringer over here. If you want more art, more books - especially queer stuff - you have to actually SUPPORT creators now more than ever, however you can.
