There's been a spate of threads recently about things JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on. Wouldn't it be easier to put them all in a single thread?

I'll start.

JK Rowling has shamefully failed to comment on the Manchester City fraud scandal.

Literally no sympathy from her that i had to read that load of drivel above.

It’s 40 years since Bros formed, has she said anything, was she even a Brosette?

She thinks she owes them nothing.

Exactly!!

Nothing? Nothing at all?

All that money & I bet she’s never asked the Spice Girls what they really, really want either.

Exactly!!

And the thing is my entire understanding of women's rights was based on her being available to feed my cat next Tuesday.

Some dickhead peeled off one half of a cheese string twin pack that's part of a meal deal in Tesco today.
I just grabbed and went to the self check out. Didn't realise til I got to the car.

Where the fuck was she?

I know cheese strings identify as cheese, but she could show some fucking empathy now and again.

I've got a dressing on my arm that I can't get wet so tonight I've had to try to shower and wash my hair one handed and without getting it wet.

And did JKR pop round to lend me a literal hand? Did she hell. Women supporting women my arse.

It would be heavily ironic if she replied to all these concerns with a tweet that said “I owe you nothing, nothing, nothing at all.”

ETA I really should have refreshed my browser first. I dropped the boy there.

I've had a very stressful few days (the roadworks are the least of it frankly) and this thread has cheered me right up. Thank you, wims.

Don't get me started about roadworks my town has apparently become the new breeding centre for traffic lights we have to train them too not only do they pop up unannounced unneeded and for no apparent reason but they also cant change correctly they stick on red or green let three cars through one way 30 through the other way took me 20 minutes for a five minute journey because I tried going aaround different route and they moved WITH ME

JK Rowling gave zero fucks its clearly magic which means its HER DEPARTMENT

Myalternate · 05/10/2026 22:55

I want to know why she’s allowed the Sun to sleep longer in the mornings.
Getting my babies up for school has become a problem because they insist that it’s still nighttime and they must sleep. 😴

Ooops, I haven’t collected it yet. I need a more obvious clue giving me its location. Perhaps a capybara was sitting on the right place when I looked.

Edit: all is explained. Kitty got there first. I don’t feel bound to keep anything secret now. Do you have anything else to bribe me with, Angel?

Edited

@AsWithGlad I think that ship has sailed. Magpie is onto me! I don't think there's any call for bribery anymore, but if you feel the need for some collateral for your troubles, you could try prising some shopping items from Kitty, if you dare (I wouldn't risk it, me, the regal stare is almost worse than the unseen claws)!

I agree, too risky.

Has JKR done anything to protect us from sharp kitten claws?

GaIadriel · 05/10/2026 23:39

She's finally realised that the whole trans thing was just a ploy by men to distract us from the patriarchy.

HumphreyCushionintheHouse · 05/10/2026 23:56

I’ve got 2 westies. She’s got 2 westies. You’d expect some solidarity but no. Not so much as a dickie bird.

ExitPursuedByABare · 06/10/2026 00:03

I went to Tesco this morning in my nightie, a pair of crumpled trousers from the washing basket and a coat, parked in the P&C spaces at the door and bought a packet of blanched almonds for the Christmas cakes I was making. Not a word of support. Or condemnation. Utterly ignored 😢

Slugfest · 06/10/2026 00:35

She hasnt wished me a speedy recovery after emergency surgery.

nocoolnamesleft · 06/10/2026 01:12

She hasn’t offered to find me a plumber. Horrified. This is literal violence.

Shedmistress · 06/10/2026 04:24

Yet again I had to fluff my own pillows this evening. Now I'm up at half past bloody 5 raging about it.

It’s six months since Kitty’s birthday. SIX MONTHS & she still hasn’t had her birthday present from JKR.

Utterly disgraceful.

Seconded.

TransParentlyAnnoyed · 06/10/2026 06:04

Hiring Johnny Depp.

Her defence of hiring of Johnny Depp.

The inevitable replacing of Johnny Depp.

Using the term "blood and soil" in reference to Scottish nationalists.

Lin Yu-ting being confirmed to be cis female after sex testing this year, and not a man who likes hitting women after all.

Why she appears to think false memory syndrome is a real thing (it isn't).

Congo.

Palestine.

Sudan.

Oh and why she preferred to threaten journalists with legal action if they mentioned the fact she hired Johnny Depp. Rather than just apologise.

i’m awake too early and went to bed too late, not a whisper on her Twitter about my lack of a good night’s sleep. Bloody JKR.
