@jk_rowling I'm proud of you. I feel silly to feel proud of a woman I don't know and probably have no right to feel proud of. But I feel proud of you for standing up and voicing so clearly and unequivocally the affrontery, insult, hurt, and subdued anger most of us have felt at the hands

@ThatAussieWoman It was, and thank you ❤️

@jk_rowling Don’t you think that, as she grows older, she might be internally distancing herself from the belief she he held when young, but at the same time, she fears facing the kind of threat you have to endure if she publicly states that she regrets what she said about you in the past?

@noelorand She could have contacted me privately any time to say her views had changed, if they have. I'd have been entirely supportive. What she's chosen to do instead is yet another bit of public brand repositioning, without talking to me, but using me for her purpose. It's getting old.

@jk_rowling That hand-writted note reveals something central to celebrity culture: that they expect the venal lies they tell in public to be understood as such in private, regardless of the cost they generate for others.

@TobyGuise I was 16 when I read Scott Fitzgerald's immortal line 'her emotions had their truest existence in the telling of them.' At the time, I was morbidly fascinated by the idea of such a person, because I'd never met one. I had no idea such people would one day be commonplace to me.

@jk_rowling All the real witches have your back no matter what you decide to do, but I can only speak for myself when I say how relieved I am you held her to account, rather than accepting an ill-forged and unearned peace offering from a torch bearer of a failed, poorly-dressed lynch mob. 🥂

@Woman4W I love my real witches 🖤

@jk_rowling All of this could be said for your support of the “migrant” situation in the UK. You supported that and have yet to publicly denounce those views.

@Cernovich Wow, are you still out there? 🤣

@jk_rowling "I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous." 911, id like to report a murder

@jk_rowling I doubt you'll see this with all the other comments, but just in case you do - as a woman who's been through the same rough road while writing their first book, I totally get where you're coming from. I'm sorry you have had to go through everything you've gone through, but I'm

@jk_rowling You Rowlin'. They Hatin'.

@jk_rowling Note to self, never piss a writer off. The cuts are so eloquent that you bleed out before you feel anything.

@jk_rowling This post was hard to read and probably much harder to write. It's tragic that what could, and should, have been a lifelong friendship has been torn apart. I know you really loved those kids. You probably still do, because you're Jo. Aside from the gender identity issue, you

@jk_rowling This is hard to read, and no doubt was hard to write, in part because it should never have gotten to this point. Simply listening and or doing some independent critical thinking was all that would have taken to avoid it. The majority of women in the world do not have the

@jk_rowling Your first book was shorter than this post...!

@jk_rowling What Rowling describes going through is Cluster B-narcissistic-abuse from Emma Watson. She cuts right through the dishonesty and cruelty of Watson's performative nastiness. This is a master class in coming to full terms with the character-low as it may be-of people in your

@jk_rowling When you know true vulnerability you can’t unknow it, and when you don’t know it, nobody who does know it would want you to be in a position to learn what it’s like.

@jk_rowling The most ironic thing about all this is that you had to pass yourself off as a male author in order to sell your book, and yet you are not aware of how the system is against anything that is not a man .

@jk_rowling Well said JK - your moving post reminds me of another writer who was slurred for no reason other than their own words and opinions - Kurt Vonnegut and his letter to the Drake School Board, which burned his books in their furnace: https://fs.blog/kurt-vonneguts...

@jk_rowling The irony here is this is exactly how Hermione would have acted in real life. You wrote the character so well, Emma literally became her. 😂

@jk_rowling Your voice @jk_rowling shone a light for so many of us when it felt like the entirety of society was consumed by darkness As a woman that did require 24-7 security for a short time due to my views on women’s sex based rights, I find the conduct of privileged women who fawn over

@jk_rowling I’m really disappointed to see Emma behaving like this. In my view, she and the other cast members should feel lasting gratitude to J.K. Rowling for creating the Harry Potter world that launched their careers and made their current lifestyles possible. Without being cast in those

@jk_rowling I am on the fourth Harry Potter book, reading it aloud to my eight year old twin daughters. It's a joy to share a real book by a real author who walks her talk. The series itself shows the difference between corruption and truth, weakness and courage, dark and light.

@jk_rowling "I am JK the White. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide."

@jk_rowling Absolutely. The Ladies Who Lunch of my local domestic violence shelter Next Chapter, and their male employee, abused public money, their name and their public platform to give me the most public of thrashings on social media, defaming me, accusing me of hate for objecting to

@jk_rowling Thank you for standing up and standing strong when it was uncomfortable and unpopular. The irony of the erosion of women’s rights is that those who advocate against them are often the ones who have never needed those protections, while the impact falls hardest on women and girls

@jk_rowling That note business is messed up. Have you considered she's being heavily leaned on to say the things in public she's saying and doesn't actually feel that way in private, hence the note? It wouldn't be the first time. Because if not, that behavior is borderline sociopathic.
