JKR - if you’re reading this.
I just want to thank you dragging me out of a pit of despair. Yesterday all my family tried to cheer me up but I was just so depressed and down about it all (16 years old son and a daughter just short of her 13th birthday) I’ve veered between anger, incredulity, disappointment and exhaustion. I despair at the people who just don’t seem to be reading or listening to your words properly. I was genuinely worried for you since we last heard from you. Wondering about how it must feel to know that you have put your head above the parapet exposing yourself to all kinds of accusations and falsehoods. The total distortion of your thoughts, ideas, experiences.
I was hoping you were safely behind a Sheltering Charm of all our good wishes, impervious to the howling onslaught of the circling Dementors. It was so GOOD to read your words on Twitter today. Just sorry that you’ve had to come out once again to defend yourself against such clueless misogyny.
‘Thanks‘ seems such a feeble word sometimes
