Superman in his iconic flying toward the camera pose, one arm stretched forward and the other full of photoshopped potted cactuses. Text says "omw to sort out the American government"
He's gonna need a lot of cactuses.
Our Superman bonus ep was a delight to record, don't miss it!

There are so many other amazing books and shows and movies about magic schools, magic worlds, magic orphans, fighting the system, taking down corruption. Read them. Watch them. Make new fandoms. Make new friends.
The fandom tried and failed to fire her. It’s time to salt the earth. 7/7

The idea of ethical engagement via fan content is just no longer relevant, because any and all HP references make trans people feel unwelcome, and honestly just… gross? I personally have blocked all HP related hashtags because I don’t want to see anything about it—not even queer fan art. 6/7

We went from being two people for whom HP was a foundational part of our lives, in many ways the thing that brought us together as friends. We moved on because it was right. So you will find absolutely no sympathy from us if your argument is that the series is too important to give up. Move. On. 5/7

Two years ago we went from making a successful HP podcast to struggling to rebuild in a now extremely oversaturated podcast environment. We did it because it was right. So you will find absolutely no sympathy from us if your argument is that your work is tied to this series. Move. On. 4/7

People are still sharing our very old and outdated ig guide to firing JKR, and with every share we become increasingly uncomfortable. Because the reality is, there is NO WAY to ethically engage with the fandom, and we are not okay with anyone sharing anything that implies that we think there is. 3/7

there is no way to ethically put money in jkr's pocket. screenshot of a tweet asking "how do you sleep at night knowing you've lost a whole audience from buying your books?" and JKR responding "i read my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly."
where does her money come from? -universal studios licensing, plus food and merch sales from WW. -the new TV show--do not watch it. -book sales, movie sales and rentals, streaming service rights for HP, robert galbraith, ichabog, etc. -official merch sales. -cursed child ticket sales. -video games. -anything else officially associated with an IP she owns.
what can I read instead? -the sunbearer duology by aiden thomas. -the supernatural investigations series by BB alston. -the legendborn series by tracy deonn. -the scholomance trilogy by naomi novik. -the earthsea cycle by ursula k. le guin. -anything by rick riordan. -the hunger games by suzanne collins. add more recs in the comments!

How to ethically engage with harry potter- spoiler: you can't.
there is no way to ethically participate in this fandom. screenshot of a news headline that reads "JK Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization."
at this point any engagement with this fandom is inherently transphobic. this includes fan content, even if it's funny/critical/queer/whatever. for trans folks it comes across as unsafe, regardless of your intentions. fan content keeps HP culturally relevalt and drives more people to the original works. the fandom tried and failed to fire her. It's time to salt the earth.
how do I talk to my kids about this? "we can't read these books because the author is a very mean person who is using her money to hurt people." what do I do with all my HP stuff? "that's a very personal choice. maybe make a ceremony out of disposing of it. maybe repurpose it into something new. maybe put it in a box in the attic." is this really necessary? "unfortunately, it is. JKR is using the wealth and power we have given her to cause serious harm on a structural, political level."

I just finished reading the Sunbearer duology on Lark & Jessie’s recommendation and it was such an amazing read! So excited for the podcast discussion to continue!

A photo of a hardcover copy of the book “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” by Mackenzi Lee.
Book is resting on a dog. Grey blanket, window to the outside, wall mounted TV, and credenza can be seen in the background. Book is being held in a white persons hand.
Now it’s time for YA romance that I picked up purely because @hashtagruthless.bsky.social mentioned it.
Didn’t even know if it was pirates, gay, history, or what before I got it home.

Check out these awesome queer, neurodivergent nerds.
Jessie and Lark are normcritical, clever and funny. They have amazing host-chemistry (is that a word? 😅) and are incredibly anticapitalist and hope-punk.
They just started on @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social Sunbearer duology and I want you to join!

images of the sunbearer trials and celestial monsters books with text "EsGAYpe From Reality is officially in our sunbearer duology era, listen to our chapter one episode now!"
It feels appropriate for our first post on this app to be the announcement of the next era of EsGAYpe From Reality! Our coverage of the Sunbearer Duology by @aidenschmaiden.bsky.social has officially begun, and you can listen to our chapter one episode now!
