J K Rowling back on twitter this morning!

More wonderful illustrations being shared in the last days.
Tucked in among them was this one

I agree, Mumoftwoyoungkids

I've been liking & retweeting her children's drawings today - and I agree that we shouldn't use these posts to respond or argue with TRAs.

I can't believe someone like Fallon Fox, or any TRA, would use a thread with a child's drawing on it it tweet that abusive stuff, but then these people don't care about women and children at all. It's all about them.

Best to just boost JK's tweets, and ignore them. They're showing themselves up.

I have a theory about J K Rowling. She always knew that she was going to stand up and be counted.

In interviews from years ago she talks about how courage is the most important characteristic a person can have. Harry was always willing to stand up for his beliefs even if it got him ostracised. And in the end was willing to sacrifice himself. And Hermione - who is the character that she based on herself and appears to value cleverness over anything else - was still put in Gryffindor.

The interesting thing is that if you read any of her books it is obvious that her natural instincts are to be inclusive. But like most of us she must have reached her “peak trans”.

Why are twitter being so slow to delete the abusive tweets?

Twitter owners don't want to.

I've left nice comments on the kids drawing and there's been a call out to feminists to not respond to the bullying comments as to not give them air. x

Chance for the real haters to show their true colours, I think. "But it's all got to be about meeeee, always!"

Why are twitter being so slow to delete the abusive tweets?

Spamming! The level of intellect is truly frightening.

I've commented on a few of them, it's so lovely to see the kids artwork and to see the care with which she has replied. She's my hero.

She is sharing loads of pictures today, imagine how excited those children must be!

Look at this tweet though. It just shows how self centred and narcissistic some people are. This person can't even imagine that JKR might be sharing absolutely loads of pictures because for a child, having your artwork shared by actual JK ROWLING would make your whole year, and the more she does, the more children are happy. No, it has to be her 'spamming' to distract. Kids pictures that they have put time and effort into for a competition are not spam!

Glad they haven't scared her off.

She's spoken up for women - we're not menstruators, we're women. Sex matters. An incredibly brave thing to do.

She created a whole new world with Harry Potter. I lost count how many times I've read them. Reading them to my children now and they love them too. Such a talented woman

*But we can all still tell fact from fantasy.

My Dh and I actually started reading her HP books before our children were even old enough for them. My sisters gifted the first 3 of them to Dh when our dc were tiny, thinking he's like them. They were a phenomenon at the time. I remember it well - we have always been fans.

Then our friends were all talking about them - by the time Goblet of Fire was out, they were all reading them.

Then we read them to our children, took them to the films....

Our children have literally grown up never knowing a time HP didn't exist.

I love her Cormoran Strike books too. I just love her.

I love JK Rowling. Fabulous woman
#jkrowlingismypatronus I might just print that on a t shirt as well

She's fabulous. Resilient and brave. She's an incredible woman

I'm no fan of Harry Potter and I only follow her for her views.
Howeveer her replies to the children who had sent drawings on this morning were wonderful. Tailored, positive and genuine. I was so impressed.

JK Rowling is a truly inspiring and courageous woman - so pleased to hear she's continuing to do the things that are important to her.
Hope she feels supported enough to continue speaking up for women and girls everywhere!

I was reading today about the huge amounts of money Joanne Rowling has given to charity. Hundreds of thousands. She’s such a wonderful role model for young girls and all of us really.

JKR is fabulous. Well done for getting back to business & ignoring the dementors. Those comments on the drawings are lovely too.

Lockdown heroes (As in already in the public eye rather than the fabulous front line workers who have kept going)
Marcus Rashford (deserves a bloody knighthood)
J. K. Rowling
Jamie Oliver

She’s truly magnificent.

What an amazing woman. Really pleased to see her back. Hope she sees all those messages of support.

Do statues of living people get erected? Just curious and place marking really.

Yes, for example this one: marcquinn.com/artworks/alison-lapper
