JKR has never been a feminist or left wing as evidenced by Harry Potter. 1. Slavery is okay. The one character who tries to abolish slavery is mocked for doing so. 2. Women fall into 3 categories: angel in the house, femme fatale or spinster.

3. Harry doesn't take a political stance on anything or enact systemic change despite being the main character. In fact, he becomes a wizard cop for a corrupt government. 4. A black character is named Kingsley Shacklebolt... 5. An East Asian character is named Cho Chang...

Look, I get it, I used to be just as hard into Tolkien when I was a kid, and lots of people who predate HP are still in denial about how problematic his stuff was. It's OK that you didn't notice as a kid. Not so much as an educated adult.

I don't even care if you're a Tolkien fan today, as long as you acknowledge those problems. Likewise, you need to stop pretending the Harry Potter books aren't brim full of JKR's assorted bigotries. More so because the people she's persecuting today can hear you loud and clear.

11. Poverty is acceptable in a society with only 3000 people and literal magic I.e the Weasleys 12. Bellatrix can't just be a nazi. She is in love with voldemort. She has to be evil for a man. 13. Snapes love for lily was pure and beautiful not creepy and incel like

Look there's an edit button. And you can't do anything sneaky because people can view edit history. It shows how many likes and retweets each version got—so if a tweet goes viral and then you edit it to change its meaning, it'll be very obvious to everyone. Very well thought out! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Just spoke to someone who was looking at a number of different companies for their next role. 2-3 days in the office was a dealbreaker. Do you know what companies that ruled out? Some of the biggest names in the business. Wonder how that’s going to play out.

Keep in mind, this is someone who was hired straight out of a top tier CS program into a FAANG role. Worked there for a number of years and moved into a senior position. This is the next generation of talent. And they’re missing out. (Caveat: you can be amazing without that)

This is a reason of my projects are open source code that people run themselves: that way I can mostly avoid the risk of accidentally losing or leaking user data! Also why I've been taking the responsibility of launching my Datasette Cloud SaaS platform very seriously indeed

So the government are telling nurses, to consider their patients before they go on strike. This comment is entirely insulting to all nurses. The government should consider the patients when they are setting the pay of those who are caring for them.
