Where do we stand on Harry Potter?

I don't believe JK Rowling has ever said anything about eradicating, eliminating, or wishing trans women death.

Maybe not directly, but she has repeatedly amplified, promoted, and validated a number of people who have.

That, to me, is a distinction without a difference.

Also check out Standard E-books, while they don't have as much, their work tends to be nicer formatted for reading with ebook readers and programs: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lord-dunsany


(Just passing through, I'm trans and such but I'm not active here so, uh, yeah! Mods are doing good work here.)

I just noticed that an Amazon.com search turned up many Dunsany ebooks for $0.

No, but apparently forced to use men's restrooms and be incarcerated in men's prisons if jailed. And neither of those are going to be conducive to their health.

Yes, but what it reveals depends on whether or not you are looking at the reservoirs.

Yeah, we definitely need more regular rain. This winter was too much at once, but more generally would be fantastic. And I'm still catching up on the politics of water/water rights out here. There's a lot going on, and it's not something that I spent a lot of time thinking about in Massachusetts -- it was a lot more straightforward there.

Edit. Deleted.

What am I doing. I really should not get drawn into the reality of this. Back away slowly.

Yeah there's a good 7 hours of California between SF and Oregon, and Humboldt itself is so isolated because it's surrounded by mountains and the biggest trees in the world. Hard to find a good long stretch of the 101 that isn't absolutely gorgeous though.

While I live in Portland currently, I had family down by Brookings (near the border). Yeah, I can imagine what it's like near your neck of the woods lol. Most folks have no idea of the ...climate on the Oregon/California border. While both are blue states, that area? Not so much. And by "that area", I mean most of the area of both states

"I never said I wanted them dead!" (hands the assassins a bag of cash, winks)

I was sent to Mt Shasta a year or so ago for work...spent most of the summer and autumn outdoors, supervising construction along the bank of the Sacramento River. It was one of the most scenic job sites I've ever had the pleasure of working. (The work was hard and the hours were grueling, but everything else was aces.)

Lol, Brookings is my go-to for "the border", which is about 2 hours north of me. Right around "Jefferson State" territory <shudder>

Redding is my hometown, just south of the mountain. Never had much cause to head all the way up it but it looks damn pretty from the edge of the valley. That's about the only good thing I could personally say about Redding, however.

Well, I guess it's also featured in Fallout 2 which is a pretty good game
