A TIM I know complains about JK Rowling about once a month, with a bunch of comments going "I'm never buying her merch again!"

I don't usually engage (although it's getting to the point where I might just do it and reveal my "terfiness") but, instead, everytime he posts I buy some new Harry Potter merch for myself or donate to Lumos.

I came across this yesterday. Might make a good Christmas present: https://minalima.com/product/harry-potter-and-the-philosophers-stone-signed-copy/

Except he’s probably just destroy it, and that’s a waste of a good book...

I like these House books directly from Bloomsbury. I'd love to get a bunch of Slytherin copies. And I know the money's going to Rowling.

I also got some "I heart JK" stuff from Posie Parker, which I like getting because I know she uses the money for banners and billboards to get more people peaked. I think she said she'd put billboards around the US and Australia once she starts making enough money.

I used to feel slightly embarrassed to have bought, cumulatively, 6 sets of Harry Potter books throughout my life. Alas no longer. The Casual Vacancy? Never had an interest in it before, but I will now. Robert Galbraith? All of them, please.

Just checked her store and I'm glad she's branched out into things like pens and notebooks. I'm not a flag-waving TERF just yet (#partoftheproblem?) but I wouldn't mind scribbling away with a pen that identifies as a feather quill.
