I am making the decision to no longer post on this blog.

I love running this blog, I have ever since 2012. My followers here are incredible, and I was especially touched with how this blog could and did connect people all across the world over something that once brought us joy. Can you remember, 40 thousand of us, bonding over our love of the same content?

But today, I realized that I cannot sit here at my computer as a nonbinary person and spread a message of love and pride in a fandom whose creator has made explicitly clear that she does not believe in the rights of our trans and nonbinary family, friends, and neighbors, in addition to consistently using antisemitic, racist, homophobic, and slavery apologist rhetoric. My side poetry and personal blog will still be live, but not the Harry Potter blog.

This is not a platform to argue or to make your case pro- or anti-JKR. This is a thank you for the good times, a goodbye, and a message to my LGBTQIA+ peers and my Jewish, Muslim and BIPOC friends and neighbors that I love you all, and I will never stop fighting for justice.

Not that this hasn't been said before, but this is your daily reminder that if you're itching for some Harry Potter merchandise, PLEASE consider buying from independent fan creators on Etsy and other similar sites to avoid making JKR any richer by purchasing officially licensed merchandise. JKR is a TERF, antisemitic, racist, homophobic and a slavery apologist; she doesn't deserve your hard-earned money.

My patronus is a robin and if that ain't the cutest thing!
