“you know, the fact is, nobody knew that they were prosthetic legs. They were the star of the show - these wooden boots peeking out from under this raffia dress - but in fact, they were actually legs made for me."
Aimee Mullins for Alexander McQueen S/S 1999

Mila, 24
“I’m wearing a Victorian-inspired gown from the 70s from the Chelsea Flea. I was told it is an old opera costume. Chanel boots are my mom’s old and the Dada tote bag is from the Centre Pompidou. I’m always inspired by 1930s homemakers and their needlework (and lingerie), early cinema, and the eerie romanticism of fairytales. I love this dress because it feels a little creepy princess gown.”

My very first stained glass project is complete, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! It’s not perfect but it’s damn cute

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.
She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.
Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.
