New thread for those who admire JK Rowling for her excellent writing, wit, charity work and for standing up for women's rights against the madness.
This is an appreciation thread.

This thread is not for anyone who wants to use daft words like 'transphobe' and thinks men can magically become women just because they say so. Please take your delusion elsewhere.

They'll be here. By their logic, they can just identify as appreciators and an appreciation thread is the same as an abusive, slanderous thread because how dare you hog a word so that it has a meaning, you bigot.

They'll still be liars though and they know it. It's not delusion when you know you're talking rubbish. Just straight up lies.

JKR is on bleeping fire right now with Sandy Brindley. Also worth reading the For Women Scotland thread to give the full story of Brindley's involvement with MW's appointment as CEO of the rape crisis centre, as she's attempting several lies by omission. Horrendous woman.
 
Im gay and I think the gender id thing is so stupid a woman is a woman and a man is a man ...I seen one picture on X where a person have the words "transf#g" written on a placard that is disrespectful to gay people

It's up to gay men to "reclaim" that slur if they wish to. Nobody else has the right. It's offensive for a female person who is attracted to men to try to do it... and in my view, it's homophobic to deny the existence of same-sex attraction by claiming that a gay man can and should be attracted to a female body, no matter what's been done to it (as nothing can stop it being a female body). To say any person who is exclusively gay - attracted only to their own sex - can learn to overcome it and become a better person for it is straight up conversion therapy.
 
I like an oranda.

I didn't know you could get blue ones.

I thought the point of an oranda was that it was white with an orange head. They are breeding new types since we won our golefish (RIP) at the Hoppin's 40 years ago. (They were not orandas - they were bog-standard plastic-bag golefish.)

Oranda is one of the many varieties of goldfish that come in a host of colors and patterns. Although this goldfish looks like it’s black, it is a lighter form of black referred to as “Blue”. .. able to handle severe temperature swings.

Please don’t ask me what this has to do with The Hallmarked Man!

Howdy! Reading along for a while but posting finally because I need your advice...
I want to read some more of JK Rowlings work - have read HP of course and the casual vacancy (which I quite liked, and I know lots didn't - but it stuck with me for a long time)... but not sure what to go for next. I am actually quite clueless when it comes to her full bibliography - but typically don't go for crime fiction (although maybe I should give hers a go?).
Totally open to suggestions - thanks!

I disliked the Casual Vacancy yet watch the adaptation of it, not a lover of crime fiction some to gory but watch the first Strike adaptation The Cuckoo’s Calling and have never looked back each book gets better and better and longer like the Harry Potter books if not reading them I am listening to them, watch the adaptations first then read the books as the adaptions lose a lot of information, omo I really like her style of writing.
1. The Cuckoo’s Calling
2. The Silkworm
3. Career of Evil
4. Lethal White
5. Troubled Blood
6. The Ink Black Heart
7. The Running Grave
8. The Hallmarked Man not published yet awaiting not too patiently.

Start with The Cuckoo’s Calling - first in the Strike & Ellacott series. Then read all of the rest in order - they’re fabulous!
 
@holasun - As far as I am aware HP and the Strike novels are her entire output (bar Casual Vacancy, which I couldn't get away with).

Personally, I didn't enjoy the HP books, but I LOVE the Strike novels. I know people who enjoy both, but most that I have met have a strong preference for one or the other. I would say it's definitely worth your while having a look at the Strike books - try to read them in order, though, because although they are stand alone, the relationship between the between the two main characters continually develops, and this influences the stories to a degree.
 
So I’ve been in London for a few days. At one point I was wondering along and spotted Liberty, then Tottenham Court Road tube station, and then the Flying Horse. My London geography knowledge is almost nil, so I was finding it pretty cool that I was in the area of Strike and Robin by accident. Then walked past Denmark Street and was grinning about it. My partner just didn’t get it! 🤣

I did the same last year, also by accident. I was surprised how close a lot of it is (an a non-Londoner), because in books the geography seems more spread out. My husband was happy to go along with it though because I'd made him watch the series, and an added bonus was that some Soho street that appeared on an Oasis album cover was round the corner, so we both got to be geeky that day :D There's even Soho Square which I came across by accident which I think in the tv series Robin sits in for a bit.

I can't wait for the next book, argh.
