It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

Likewise, the new all-star audio books featuring people like Keira Knightley, Riz Ahmed, Michelle Gomez, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and more, only seem to have happened because Stephen Fry - who did all the original audio books - said he thought she radicalised and "was a lost cause" (x)

come on man

I fully believe that conservatives do not want their tax dollars going to fund school lunches for children because they see children not as individual people but rather as extensions of their parents, and they view a child’s hunger as a moral failing of the parent to maintain their property rather than a hungry child being a vulnerable individual that deserves to be fed.

Happy indigenous peoples day!

We need to start talking more about Congo (DRC). I literally never see posts about it anymore.

November 15th 1998: Stokely Carmichael dies

On this day in 1998, civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael died aged 57. Born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago in 1941, Carmichael moved to the United States when he was eleven. An intelligent youth, Carmichael was admitted to the prestigious Bronx High School, where the majority of his classmates were wealthy white teenagers. Acutely aware of the racial injustices of American society, Carmichael joined the Civil Rights Movement upon seeing footage of a sit-in on television. After graduating high school in 1960, Carmichael studied philosophy at Howard University in Washington D.C., but still participated in freedom rides; he was jailed for 49 days in Jackson, Mississippi for entering a ‘whites only’ bus stop. In 1964, he joined the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and became an effective field organiser charged with registering black voters in the Deep South. While working in Lowndes County, Alabama, Carmichael founded his own political party, choosing a black panther as its logo. Despite initially adhering to Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent philosophy, Carmichael became frustrated with the slow progress of the movement, and upon becoming national chairman of SNCC in May 1966 rejected the group’s white members. In October, Carmichael made the speech for which he is best remembered - his defiant ‘Black Power’ address at University of California, Berkeley. The phrase quickly became a rallying cry for younger, more radical activists who advocated black separatism instead of the nonviolent doctrine of racial integration. This new approach was exemplified by the Blank Panther party, which Carmichael became the leader of in 1967, arguing for black nationalism and pan-Africanism. It was in the pursuit of this latter cause that Carmichael spent the rest of his life in Conakry, Guinea, changing his name to Kwame Toure. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1985, and died in 1998.

On this day, 5 November 1843 an enslaved woman called Carlota Lucumi led an enslaved uprising in Matanzas, Cuba. Brandishing machetes, Lucumi and her co-conspirators summoned other enslaved people with a kettle drum, then killed the cane plantation enslavers before heading to neighbouring plantations and farms to free other enslaved people. While Lucumi herself was soon executed, the rebellion lasted until the following year, when Spanish colonial authorities succeeded in violently repressing it. The abolition of slavery in Cuba was eventually achieved in 1886.

On this day, 5 November 1921, German Jewish communist resistance fighter and nurse Marianne Prager-Joachim was born. After the Nazis took power, she worked as a forced labourer in the Siemens factory in Berlin, where she joined the Baum resistance group in the plant, which consisted of other Jewish communist workers. She was executed in 1943 for her part in an arson attack on a Nazi anti-communist propaganda exhibition the previous year.

I am Alaa… Can you hear me?

I am a woman from Palestine Gaza 🇵🇸.

I once had a modest but loving home with my husband, Mohammad, and our four children: Mahmoud, Somaya, Mostafa, and little Sila.

Our house was small, but it held our world — filled with warmth, laughter, and dreams.

Mohammad worked as a tailor, using his hands to stitch dignity into our days, providing just enough for us to live in peace.

But in a single, brutal moment… everything disappeared.

An airstrike hit our neighborhood.

Our home collapsed under the force of the explosion.😭💔

We escaped with nothing — not clothes, not memories, not even the toys my children cherished.

Mohammad’s tailor shop was demolished by Israeli bulldozers, leaving him without work, without tools, without hope.

Now, we live in a torn, fragile tent.

It doesn’t shield us from the cold.

It doesn’t protect my children from hunger or fear.

Rain seeps in. The nights are long and cruel. My children cry themselves to sleep.

I am a mother who cannot provide warmth, food, or safety.

I watch them suffer — I hear their tiny whispers asking when we’ll go home again… and I have no answers.

I am Alaa😓.

I don’t ask for much.

Just a chance to live with dignity again.

Just a moment of mercy.

If you hear me… if you feel my pain…

🌸Please help us🌸🙏.

Even the smallest act of kindness can bring light into our darkness.

From a mother with nothing left but a trembling voice… thank you❤️🫂.

To those with compassionate hearts... To those in whose hearts mercy has never died...

That's why I launched this campaign. 💔

And I appeal to you with tears in a mother's eye, help us with anything...

A simple donation from you could save our lives. 🙏

💌 Please, don't ignore my plea...

Share with us, help us, and make our voices heard everywhere. 🕊️

ESLAM FAMILY GOFUNDME DELETED, PLEASE DONATE TO NEW LINK

"I am Eslam from Gaza, 30 years old, a mother of two girls, and eight months pregnant. I used to work as a children's teacher, and my husband, Rasmi Abu Al-Rish, was a businessman before all his projects and the branches of his three centers in Gaza, Khan Younis, and Rafah were destroyed.

We lack the most basic necessities of life. We suffer from malnutrition and high prices. My daughter, Alma, needs milk and diapers. I need medicine, tonics, and nutritional supplements amid the famine and malnutrition we are suffering from. I hope that everyone who can donate will help me and my family."

Last year, I made a post in support of Eslam and her family, but she sadly is still in dire need of aid. The campaign link of my old post is outdated, please support her in the new one. Every donation counts.

As of 7:50pm September 23, 2025 (GMT+8) only $156 raised out of $25,000

We have been forcibly displaced from our homes and now find ourselves without shelter, food, or basic necessities.

We urgently call on kind-hearted individuals and humanitarian organizations to come to our aid.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the lives of our children and families.

🚨Please help us — time is running out 🚨

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉

Amid war and unbearable conditions… my mother is pleading for your mercy 💔💔

We are living through unimaginable circumstances — an ongoing war, extreme poverty, and the constant absence of basic necessities.

My sick mother can no longer tolerate the smoke from burning wood for cooking or heating, but with no gas, we have no choice. That smoke is suffocating her lungs and worsening her health day by day.

The cost of a gas cylinder has reached $500 — an amount we simply cannot afford in this crisis.

I am helpless, and all I can do is appeal to your kind hearts.

Every moment without relief is another moment of pain for her, and it breaks my heart to see her suffer like this.

Your donation, no matter how small, could ease the pain of a woman who has nothing left but hope.

Please don’t hesitate — and help spread this message.

Are you bored with the posts asking for help from Gaza? You're right, but imagine our situation as we live this war day after day for two years.

Asking for help isn't easy; it's extremely embarrassing, especially for a family that used to live a decent life and were self-sufficient. Asking for help isn't easy. But the situation is very difficult, and we urgently need donations to save my children's lives. They are my whole life.

Do you think we're tired, too?!!

Our hope for survival comes from the generosity of your hearts. Your donations are the lifeline that keeps my family strong and our only source of income. Every contribution brings us closer to providing food and medicine for my family. Please, don't leave us alone; your kindness is the light that dispels this darkness.

News. We live in a tent, my children are shivering with hunger, and all I can do is pray.

Please, don't just watch or participate. Even a small donation could be a lifeline for a hungry or sick child suffering.

Don't turn a blind eye to our suffering. We are appealing to your humanity.

My campaign is very weak; I will only receive a few donations.

Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to purchase some of the basic necessities we cannot do without, despite their high cost. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to feeding my children, even with a piece of bread. Your generosity gives us hope in the face of these unspeakably catastrophic circumstances.

I know you are sharing my story out of love and humanity, and I am truly grateful for that.

The painful truth is that sharing alone does not feed the hungry or provide medicine for the sick.

A bag of flour costs $300.
