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

Just had a quick look, wow just wow. She is so bloody fab.

I knew she was a celebrated author (although HP isn't my thing so I'd never given her much thought really) but now she's properly reaching legendary status with women all over the world.

Thank you 🙏

Not read it (came off what is mostly a cess pit) but know it will be great! Thanks JKR

I was just telling DH she's on fucking fire today on Twitter. 💪

You can almost hear the exasperation here:

She is on fire, isn’t she - not sure what’s prompted her as she sounds even more passionate than usual but I love it ❤️

Thank you so much, JKR ( if you see this). It is such a joy seeing all those burns. Peaking the world, a step at a time.

She has been fabulous on Twitter today and yesterday. What an inspirational woman who makes me feel brave.
