They're at it again. You'd think the last couple of weeks would have highlighted the value of being able to say your reporting was balanced and free from political bias, but there you go.

Twitter editorialising against J K Rowling again.

I've just tweeted about that too. Tossers.

NutsOhHazelnuts · 07/03/2022 17:32

Is it because she has been awesome and on fire today?

MTCoffeePot · 07/03/2022 17:38

Totally ridiculous caption from Twitter. JKR has offered to match donations to the Lumos charity with £1 million of her own money.

Fenlandia · 07/03/2022 17:55

It's such an obvious editorialisation, yet every time they're threatened with more government regulation (US or UK) they claim they're just a platform not a content producer

McDuffy · 07/03/2022 18:37

She's on top Twitter form atm

littlbrowndog · 07/03/2022 18:44

She’s on fire today 👏👏😍😍💃💃💃

IvyTwines · 07/03/2022 18:46

She really is! And we've just donated to Lumos too.

Criticism from who?

Twitter is just mental. I'm not a user and only see what's posted on here but after reading the rest of the replies to her tweet (go Jo!) some people just have no rational argument. Just out to spout the 'she's transphobic!' line.

Does anyone against her ever post any (logical) evidence to back up what they're saying?

littlbrowndog · 07/03/2022 18:51

Think she’s dead pissed off with Scottish government at moment

The Scottish government just had an advert on telly saying 2 people die from cervical cancer every day

What people could they be I wonder.

Am pissed off with them as well.

FannyCann · 07/03/2022 19:47

I think she's definitely hit her Fuckit moment.

Hasselhoffsheadband · 07/03/2022 20:09

She is on one on Twitter today - she's fucking had enough of this shit!

DomesticatedZombie · 07/03/2022 20:24

It's just silly. Attempting to demonise a woman currently raising money for orphans in Ukraine ...

LaPufalina · 07/03/2022 20:40

I made a large (for me) donation today to Lumos, been pondering the most effective way to donate and JKR's donation match (along with her attitude) clinched it today

I was amused to see Mx as an option on the Lumos donation form Grin

Gumbomambo · 07/03/2022 20:54

I think JKR has absolutely had enough today, she’s voiced her opinions on the GRA reform, sent Laurie off with her tail between her legs and offered to match donations to lumos up to one million out of her own money.

Rainbowshit · 07/03/2022 21:03

That LP is quite something isn't she? JK have it to her both barrels and good on her!

Hasselhoffsheadband · 07/03/2022 21:19

Yeah Jo is clearly pissed off with Laurie's shite - I think she is quite close to giving no fucks now. The TRAs are constantly watching her every Twitter character for anything they can use against her, so she might as well just let rip!

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 07/03/2022 21:40

Wow JKR really is on fire today isn’t she?! I tweeted earlier on about how I thought I couldn’t admire her more when she does that donation match. AND THEN she goes and takes down the Scottish government and Laurie knobhead too.
Amazing woman. I love her ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥

Olderbadger1 · 07/03/2022 22:52

She is a total joy. Off to donate...

TheAbbotOfUnreason · 07/03/2022 22:57

Oh yes, no fucks given today - JKR in response to Laurie Penny:

I have the self-awareness to know that however upsetting the death and rape threats your fellow activists throw at me are, there are literally billions of people suffering more than I am. You claim to be suffering PTSD because of *bad book reviews

BettyFilous · 07/03/2022 22:59

Screenshots would be v welcome. I can’t even lurk on Twitter in private mode anymore without a screen-blocking Twitter pop-up.

Julie and her crisps then Joanna thoughts and prayers. 🤣🤣

Women are so funny

EsmaCannonball · 07/03/2022 23:08

God, Laurie Penny is so draining. JK Rowling is using her charitable foundation to help child victims of the war and personally donating £1million, whereas Laurie Penny is swamping Twitter with her self-pity, as usual. Maybe we should crowdfund sending a copy of Penny's book to Putin in the hope he just gives up the will to live.

Laurie Penny rose to the bait of Julie Bindel’s obviously pointed Tweet and JKR’s response:
