Today, on International Womens Day, it's been rather depressing seeing all manner of organisations throw in a quick lip service tweet, only to be pulled up by that bot on their sex pay gaps. Then a vagina museum essentially goad women by doing a big thread about celebrating some people that don't have vaginas. A police force pissing off women too, and then removing the tweet with a post telling us all to "be kind". The hashtag that popped up in the middle of the day, telling women what the right kind of feminism is: the intersectional aka everyone kind.

Basically the general shite we've all come to expect because we can't have one flipping day to ourselves.

So, I would like to say, thank fuck for JK Rowling. Who has stormed in from yesterday and continued today at her magnificent, no holds barred and no shits given best. It's made it an IWD to remember.

That is all. Happy IWD Grin

I'm practically faint with adoration. The integrity and courage of that bloody glorious woman has actually made me cry. Flowers Flowers Flowers

Wow! I remember years ago when we wondered if she was GC and if she read MN. SO GREAT to see her magnificent self all guns blazing!!!

You are fearless! Bloody phone.

crunchermuncher · 08/03/2022 23:11

Thank you Joanne, you agree fearless and give me hope. I had actual tears in my eyes reading those tweets.

She's just had enough with the bs. I was feeling really fed up with IWD being a wank fest about anyone but actual adult human females (one day! We can't even have one fucking day! ). But she has highlighted the nonsense beautifully. Flowers

Absolutely fantastic

@bonfireheart

I'd love for her to do a real honest interview with a good interviewer, I'd pay to sit in the audience and giving her a standing ovation.
Hadley would be amazing

@dworky

Totally agree, she's like an oasis in the desert.
This!

Oh yes, ThePenny. The abuse she's getting - 'oh, you're matching £1m but you make more than that' 'what about other countries who need help'... the absolute nerve of these keyboard warriors who do feck all and accuse her of doing it for positive PR. She's handled it all with incredible grace and strength. Love her.

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 08/03/2022 22:52

She's been on wonderful form tonight. All guns blazing. Love her so much.

Absolute queen 👑

PearPickingPorky · 08/03/2022 22:45

Thank you for this thread, I sacked twitter off so I'd missed this joyous outpouring of truth bombs.

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 08/03/2022 22:44

A picnic on Rowling's Hill sounds pretty good.

ThePennyJustDropped · 08/03/2022 22:44

She's so inspirational.

I specially love how the TRAs keep tagging and retweeting her saying how bigoted she is, whilst blindly overlooking the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are agreeing with her

BraveBananaBadge · 08/03/2022 22:42

She is so, so wonderful. Watching her this week has been really amazing. Her gravitas is so, so important. She weighs up everything just right. She never punches down, or makes it personal, and lifts us all up with her.

Thank you JKR Thanks

Whereareyourshoes · 08/03/2022 22:41

JKR is absolutely incredible. So much love for her.

Duchessfloofy · 08/03/2022 22:39

What an absolute queen . I love her even more and I loved her before. A fearless warrior ! No fucks given at all . Thank you JK !💖✊

DialSquare · 08/03/2022 22:37

Shes amazing. Even my partner commented on her being on fire the last couple of days. She really hasn't got any patience for the bollocks behind this ideology. Keep it up Jo. You amazing, witty, generous, inspiring woman. IWD was invented for women like you.

Hasselhoffsheadband · 08/03/2022 22:36

I literally fucking LOVE her! I love that she won't back down, I love that the misogynists can't get their head around how she has refused to be silenced, I love how she has no fucks left to give!

She is just the best! ❤❤❤

Iwishihadariver · 08/03/2022 22:34

Thank you JKRowling for making IWD for me today. So proud of your fight for women 💪❤. Ta! x

TerribleCustomerCervix · 08/03/2022 22:34

I feel the need to write a second thank you letter now that she’s run out of fucks to give.

Deeq · 08/03/2022 22:34

The world feels utterly fucked... but there's light and joy at the end of today. Glorious woman.

weebarra · 08/03/2022 22:33

Hasn't she been awesome (in the truest sense of the word today)?
Like an angel with a fiery sword, on her hill!

nocoolnamesleft · 08/03/2022 22:31

Magnificent woman.

TheUsualShitshow · 08/03/2022 22:30

She so isn't going down though.

The tide has turned more than enough, you can see it in our boldness. A few years ago we wouldn't have been able to say half of what we do now. She's a big part of the revolution.
