The_Book_Ninja That was very interesting. I thoroughly recommend the podcast mentioned, “The Witch Trials of J K Rowling 1mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja The title of the podcast makes it sound like an exercise in JKR apologetics, and this review of it seems to confirm that, so I'll probably give it a miss 🙂 https://www.vulture.com/article/witch-trials-jk-rowling-podcast-essay-review.htm... 1mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I didn‘t think that when I listened to be honest. It tries to give a little balance but it doesn‘t sway me at all 1mo

Jari-chan @Bookwomble Just read it and I now understand more where her transphobia is coming from. I've been wondering that for a long time. How disappointing that she couldn't turn her own trauma into encouragement for all humans 💔 1mo
Bookwomble @Jari-chan It's tragic on many levels ☹️ 1mo
