When I told this to the barman (photos, friends, West Country, cider) he said he kind of figured that I’m from the UK.

Et tu, Barman? Your words cut deep, I must confess!

@shlee or maybe we just make everyone who still considers themselves an active fan write a Masters-level exegesis on their justification? #notreally

Nah. Block that shit. Nobody needs to be exposed to it.

Aside: My kid grew up on Rowling, and was a deep fan, knowing all the strange trivia. We shared a lot of good times centred on those works across books and film.

She continues to struggle with the tension between something that meant so much to her and kids like her that felt like outcasts and the clear interpretation of Rowling’s anti trans behaviour that suggests she thought Potter was an antihero and the Ministry of Magic the righteous ones.

I think much of the same tension exists for people who read Lovecraft and Gaiman, or watched Whedon’s shows, or listened to Kanye’s music before the mask was lifted. Do we take down Picasso from galleries because he was an absolute trash person?

I can’t and won’t support those artists any more. But I struggle to condemn anyone who came to understand themselves in the context of that art before the artists were exposed.

I can’t change anyone. They need to take their own journey. And they need empathy not scolding in order to take it.

tl;dr of all that: block and ban hateful people and their art, but be kind and empathetic in helping others understand what harm those works can do.

I made a track using Bitwig presets and a nice vintage drum machine off of #DecentSampler, with a bit of reverb, compression, eq and a smidge of delay on the flute.

I made the cover image from this picture which I edited in Paint and the default windows picture editor.

Cool, you can buy a $65 SNES game that doesn't play in a SNES. It comes with a download code to play it on your PC or whatever and you can plug the cartridge into your SNES and have the nostalgic feeling of owning a non-working SNES cart.

Just kidding, you actually can't buy this because it is SOLD OUT. LMAO.
