micahherskind's tweet: "Wow. It's clear that so much work went into creating this magnificent resource hub full of tools, resources, trainings, legislation, and policies around the movement to defund and abolish the police." (With link.) grace_kendall also retweeted
LaurakBuzz's tweet (from a thread): "This news story about Hogwarts Legacy's apparent character creation options doesn't go far enough for me to change my stance on the game. Lots of games without transphobes attatched already offer this. Not gender locking character options isn't enough to fix this." And retweeted

HPANA tweeted a thread beginning: "How do the other fan sites not see how they're giving free promotion to JK Rowling & providing cover for her bigotry when they boost Wizarding World corporate content without giving their readers any context about JKR's transphobia? It's wrong. We won't do it." See their TL for lots of other commentary on the importance of ceasing to support the author (including with funds from purchases).
