[Igneococcus]

As part of tomorrow's annual Rich List, mostly about other things than trans:

Thank you for sharing. That was a great article.

When you step back and see what she does and has done overall, it is amazing. It is what so many of us dream of. She is very wise.

JK you are a gem. May you live a long and happy life.

OMG! I love JKR! What a woman. Xxx

Truly incredible ♥️

I do need her to get her arse in gear and get the next strike and Robin book out though. Frankly she’s kept me waiting far too long to find out what happens next

It would be nice to do something for her for a change.

Its due out in September

It’s out on 2nd September. I’ve preordered!

Woohoo!

Agree with everyone else. She's a wonderful woman and an antidote to all the grim self serving men trashing women and women's rights.

That line really jolted me, too

Yes, I read that paragraph several times.

She's absolutely right. I volunteered with abandoned children for a while and it's true, they'll go to anyone who shows them even the smallest amount of love.

My own children would never do that.

Thanks for posting

Yes. Once you understand that, you see how dangerous it is for random adults to sell the concept of "glitter families" to unhapy children and teenagers.

Such a wise woman.

I wonder how many others on the Rich List have chosen to share their wealth so generously. Not many I guess, though I imagine they all donate something to “good causes”, but not on her scale.

What struck me was how she involves herself with the organisations she supports, they mean a lot to her personally, writing a cheque would be easy , but she takes on the emotional baggage that goes with really caring about the projects. I hope she gets satisfaction from being able to make such a difference, but you also feel the frustration and anger that her intervention is necessary in the first place.

What an incredible woman. Such a selfless, talented, generous person. Her strength and resilience blows my mind

I want to be a philanthropist like her!

Thank you for sharing, it’s a very moving interview.
Thank you Jo if you just happen to be reading this, for your steadfast support , care and compassion for the vulnerable in the world.

That was a really lovely interview. She's someone who genuinely cares about the world and puts her money where her mouth is. She made a surprise appearance at the FILIA conference in Glasgow 2 years ago, and she was just as funny, sweary and bright as you'd wish her to be. An amazing woman!

Oh no, what has that evil witch done now? Fully funded another orphanage or something? IS THERE NO END TO HER WICKEDNESS

I think she is wonderful. Her integrity and character leap off the page, for all to see.
It makes it all the more stupid and irritating that she has been subjected to that barrage

She is the embodiment of “every cloud has a silver lining” only in her case she is pure gold. The lines of support she is investing in and offering are multifaceted and will continue to touch countless lives. Yet, she lacks (beautifully) the egotistical, self-serving stance of many famous figures, who act as the face of charity work and causes.

Love her! She makes me want to be a better woman.

Astonishing woman.

Really glad she did this interview.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this.
