She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear
"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!
Let it Go!

I don't want to ask Mom if she's already bought groceries cuz she'll think I'm nagging her...but she never really buys enough of anything, imo.
I don't like to make a lot of grocery trips and she does.
And I will NOT be grocery shopping on Thanksgiving day!
And so it begins...

Flying to see Mom on Monday.
I've got my ride to the airport scheduled and I've got directions from the rental car place to her house.
Could I probably get there without directions? Yes, I grew up in StL but....let's not chance it.
Now I'm going to do laundry and pack.

I made kind of a big mistake during our presentation last week and I didn't really see it until today.
I skipped a whole slide that one of my co-presenters was talking about.

One more day until Thanksgiving break!
I’m traveling next week and it may not be that restful. My mom has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and when I visit her next week, we need to talk about her future care. Her health is good now, but I want to talk about it. I’m a little nervous about it.

I think the plan for this afternoon includes a nap.
And then I’m either going to continue Hallmark movie watching or continue the Sex Education re-watch.
Hot sick day plans.

Inane Hallmark ramblings brought to you by a rising temperature, unfortunately.
Taking the day off was as good idea. At least I’m keeping myself away from coworkers and not spreading germs.

I can't be sick for my Thanksgiving trip to see Mom.

I need to stay home and rest today.
