I try not to mention JKR on my blog, but apparently, her new book, among a plethora of despicable things, is hugely ableist and makes fun of ME/CFS, POTS, Fibromyalgia, and Allodynia and strongly infers that people with these conditions are lying for attention.

So if you are someone afflicted with these conditions and you are seeing people agreeing with this trash take on social media today:

I see you, I hear you, I believe you. Your suffering is real. Your pain is real. You deserve better. You are not excluded from the disability community and you will always have a place with us if you want it. You do not need to be missing a limb to qualify as “disabled enough,” and the people spouting such ableist rhetoric don’t speak for us.

Fuck JKR. Fuck ableists. Fuck everything about this new book and all the marginalized people it hurts.

when you think about it tho pliny the elder is kind of the funniest guy in the world like. he wrote all these books about natural history that he was wrong about where he confidently claims things like “some animals only have blood during certain parts of the year” and then when mt. vesuvius erupted and destroyed pompeii and herculaneum he said “oh mt vesuvius is exploding? let me go check it out” and then he died

A mix from this week! Picked up some pots, my weird planter torus made it through, made some more luster pots, and got four pumpkins made! Two regular and two fun, two peas in a pod (they’re soul mates lol) and Bob Ross (he was a happy accident).
