There’s a serious disconnect going on here. She essentially wrote Dumbledore as a gay character, even though only confirming it later. But the transphobia thing seems out of character and is unsettling. It may be born of earlier experiences in her life – everyone has challenges and scars. Perhaps she’ll learn better in time. But I still love her stories.
Friday is the revised deadline to rescue my house from tax sale.
Today I drove two hours to Buffalo and signed the settlement documents to sell my mother’s house. I will get the money from the sale on Thursday.
After I left the attorney’s office I got a new E-mail from the County Treasurer. They now want next year’s taxes on top of it all, too.
So when all is said and done I am going to be $400.00 short of what I owe with what I will see from my mother’s sale.
I have that in the bank, so unless there is any delay in them cutting my cashier’s check, I will own my house free and clear again and my mother’s estate will finally be finalized. But I am still losing money on the deal.
Thanks again to everyone who donated at GoFund.me/pabshouse – considerably less than $2.00 per reader that I wanted, but it closed the gap nonetheless.
Now just pray that nothing happens between now and Friday morning to screw with me.

J. K. Rowling seems to be the only one making sense.

I’m still a bit unclear on why we should care what she thinks about this in any case.

J.K. Rowling has become a TERF. It’s sad.
I still like the Harry Potter books.
