'the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about' oscar wilde

Never heard of this attention seeker before and will forget their existence in 5 minutes or less. Jkr on the other hand.....

Those notebooks look lovely, I've never heard of them but Christmas is coming up so will get some as gifts thank you 👍

@WhereYouLeftIt
Oooh, SHINY diary <covets but cannot justify>

At this point I think Squishmallows are a decidedly stale hell 🤔 They are also cute & make excellent support pillows for unhappy joints. (And are much cheaper than ✨fancy✨ medical ones 😁).

This thread reminded me it's about that time to order my new 18-month diary.

Squishmallows? What fresh hell is this?!!?

Oh, and I now have my lovely new glow-in-the-dark diary.

Hurrah! A present idea for DIL.
She likes the posh stuff, especially when it's funding hate.

Gosh, the deprecating spright-like gadfly is angry about a notebook, isn’t they? Very, very angry. Imagine being in a tutorial and taught by they. Assuming them has any time left over for actual academic work after furiously tweet-bombing Moleskine (other superior stationery companies are available) for hours, nay days, on end for presumed wrongthink. I’m sure the company is quaking in its boots after the threat to 'drag Moleskine for eternity for tainting my entire queer archive'.

Just ordered a new notebook xx

This Squishmallow also knows human sex is binary & immutable 🤷🏻‍♀️

(I quite want a Hedwig one & a Fawkes one… unfortunately, as a couple of people have pointed out, the Sorting Hat looks rather like the 💩)

Look at this squishmallow and tell me it is not a ball of seething transphobic vitriol.. LOOK AT IT

I have that very squishmallow how did you get in my house!? can confirm it refuses to believe humans can change sex.

user675654 · 11/07/2024 10:53

Fuck, I was born with an imperforate hymen. Does that mean I’m not a female gender critical feminist who has given birth to babies and is currently menopausal after all but I’m actually a transgender person hated by everyone?

do I need to cancel my notebook order?

gettingbacktobeingmeagain · 11/07/2024 10:39

just ordering my Moleskine HP notebook now :)

TWETMIRF · 11/07/2024 10:30

FFS, you could have marked that as a sensitive image. I need to have a lie down to recover from the shock of seeing such blatant transphobia

Someone was mithering at Squishmallows earlier about whether JKR would profit from their latest Potter range 🤦‍♀️

Yes, clearly, as with the two previous sets of Potter Squishmallows, Rowling will get whatever her share of merch profits is 🤦‍♀️ What absolute nugget would think it possible that licensed merch wouldn’t result in financial gain for Rowling?! 🤦‍♀️

Yes, I love the claim that terfs only buy products’to fund hate’. And then only one, because we’re too tight-fisted to even splash out on our favourite hate merchants! And of course we’re not writers, because we’re not speshul enough. Nor probably ‘spright-like’ enough.

Nah marmite has been on my Nono list since before covid. I can’t even remember why…

GerbilsAllTheWayDown · 08/07/2024 21:07

HellonHeels · 08/07/2024 19:49

I for one will only buy something if it funds hate.

Absolutely! My cupboards are full of marmite and every album I own has at least one track with bagpipes playing.

Screamingabdabz · 08/07/2024 20:36

🙋🏻‍♀️ Fully paid up TERF - not ‘funding hate’ as I’ve been buying the 18month ones with the notes page for years. They are bloody brilliant.

Glad they’re supporting the Harry Potter franchise - not even because of JKR but because those stories have brought joy and magic to millions and should be recognised and celebrated in their own right.

Does a trans gay lesbian basically mean a bisexual bloke who pretends to be straight? I'm thinking it does. 😂

My mind can’t twist itself around all those labels to come up with something comprehensible so perhaps it means that, but perhaps it doesn’t 😵‍💫

Will no one think of the poor caged moles, bred for their skin... oh they're not? and they're not even rodents like gerbils? Oh fair enough so, Ted.😄

“moleskin should probably consider that an angry TERF might buy one Harry Potter notebook to fund hate, but that writers are often customers for life. We spend a lot over a long period. And your brand is built on writerly identity. If we stop buying your product, you lose that.”

This tweet is great. Apparently, writers are the only lifetime customers of notebooks.

How many writers use paper except to plan these days? The ones I know write on laptops or desktops. This is like someone caught in a fantasy of ‘living the aesthetic’.

It means that they are the bestest and most special person in the world

The whingeing author is 'trans' and 'gay' and 'a lesbian' and their book is called 'We the Parasites'.

This has got to be a parody right?

PomegranateOfPersephone · 08/07/2024 13:53

Thanks for the thread, I buy a Moleskine diary every year and glad I can continue to do so. Had a Harry Potter one a couple of years ago. Now thinking I might need a notebook too… 🤔
