I want that woman to show me where it has been proven that the Harry Potter books have harmed children.
Right? It's not like Avada Kedavra actually works, y'know.
....um, guys? Guys?
Where'd everybody go???
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've been wrestling with editor's notes, and don't really get how to do them smoothly. It's hard to describe. I want to accept some changes, reject a few, and then there's highlighted suggestions for added text from my editor. So I'm having issues doing the note, then deleting the comment, then accepting my own changes...it's confusing. Or maybe it's my disorganized brain. I feel like I'm defusing a bomb.

Ciao.(because I'm y'alls sheep) Book banners: Like the Worst People in the World and Farenheit 451(which I'd remembered as something I read but I think I am wrong about that. ) But I get the irony anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do love Track Changes. But I begin to hate it when other people publish documents with the changes unaccepted.
The hell? Does no one proofread?
Irritating assed morning, and now I have to go to Costco. And not spend money. And can't work out why my health insurance company thinks I'm inactive. And why people want $697 of my monies.

Well, some of them are pretty heavy. I bet they'd hurt if you dropped one on your foot.

It's the argument that they promote religion that is really nuts though. OTOH, she's getting nowhere with all of this nonsense.

Now tagless for your comfort.
And of course, all those kids getting nearsighted from all that reading.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not sure if it's a Photoshop job or not, but if it's real, it's damned funny.

Well, you have to really mean it to get any of the unforgivables to work.

Plus lack of sleep.... not getting enough exercise....
My crazy!conservative coworker doesn't want her kids reading Harry Potter books, as she thinks they encourage the occult. Because apparently even the existence of magic in fiction will make magic (which is badbadbad) "normal for kids." She also thinks that JKR is deliberately including specific references to the occult in order to influence children.
Even repeating that makes me @@.
