Every dollar you spend on anything Harry Potter goes straight into this.

The author announced in a Saturday post to X, formerly Twitter, that she would be founding the J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund, using her personal fortune. The website for the group states that it “offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

“I looked into all options and a private fund is the most efficient, streamlined way for me to do this,” she said. “Lots of people are offering to contribute, which I truly appreciate, but there are many other women’s rights orgs that could do with the money, so donate away, just not to me!”

The (US) government suggests defunding the 988 suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth (www.npr.org)
 

The Trump administration wants to cut funding for specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth on the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, according to a leaked budget proposal reviewed by NPR.

While anyone in a mental health crisis can call or text 988 and be connected to a trained counselor, the line has specially trained counselors, often with similar life experiences, for high risk groups like veterans and LGBTQ+ youth.

It's horrifying how cats will play with bugs and torture them. I have cats, and they're sadistic.

It amazes me when I see people with cats and hamsters. Because I just believe if they wanted to, that hamster would be in multiple pieces.

That was my response! I said, "So in a relationship, that's what you do?"

And he got kinda mad and changed the subject.

I have a buddy who is single and went into a Joe Rogan spiral. Apparently his new biggest fear is talking to a woman who happened to have been born a man.

When I asked him why? He made up a hypothetical situation of them breaking into his house?

Nearly 1 in 5 LGBTQ adults have never come out, Gallup survey finds in c/lgbtq_plus@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I had a elderly neighbor who after a year of knowing him, finally told me he was gay. He told me about how during the 80s, AIDs made him afraid of getting into relationships. And the 90s, gays were being kidnapped and murdered thanks to the whole "gay panic" defense.

Nobody would have ever known.

But he has the courage to share during pride month, when I walked around with a LGBTQ flag on my backpack.

I imagine there's millions out there just like him. And it's why I carry a LGBTQ flag, just so they can feel a little less alone.

I don't understand Musk fans. They worship a edgelord in his 50s who is a shitty dad?

Mildly annoying? That's downright frustrating.

For me, D&D is a collaborative game. Players who go against group can leave.
