Further even than this, the timestamp on the original post seems broken. It appears that it measures the time since the last reblog.

Watching HBO Harry Potter at all, by any means is a bad idea, actually. Here's why.

For as long as Rowling's transphobia has been undeniable, a common refrain among fans who just don't want to let HP go has been "just pirate it!" Because if you're pirating it, that doesn't put money in Rowling's pockets, so it's all good - supposedly.

But here's the deal: if you watch this new series by any means whatsoever, you are going to want to do fandom things over it. You're going to want to make fanart. You're going to want to write fanfic. You're going to want to post analyses and headcanons, all of which will constitute free advertisement for the series.

Maybe you won't do that, though. Maybe you'll refrain with the self-control of the most devout nun. But it's gonna suck.

But also, those pirate sites? Many of them boost popular content on their front pages. And as benpaddon pointed out:

In a post-Community world, a lot of production companies are keeping an eye on which of their shows and films are being shared on illegal streaming and torrent sites. They still use that information to gauge a show's popularity and, again, they can and will use that data to attract licensees.

In other words, HBO will very likely be watching pirate sites to decide how much merch and tie-in media they're going to produce. And of course, all merchandise and tie-in media sales will benefit Rowling, and all merch will function as advertising.

It's understandable if you're having difficulty letting Harry Potter go because you got attached to the books or the movies. I get that. But watching the HBO series will make this problem even worse for you, and it will benefit JKR.

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

Me, last week

Me, this week.

Today is 1/9/25.

1 reblog = 1 additional day I keep my eyebrows shaved clean.
