Might as well use this as a template since I’ve decided to go all in here for it, anyway I shall reblog this any time I am live, as I am on most days.

Does anyone remember that youtube Minecraft series called ‘Farlands or Bust’?
Did the guy ever make it to the farlands?
I looked it up, and the guy who’s doing it has reached Episode 539, released yesterday, and no, he hasn’t reached the farlands.
I’m rooting for him.
Holy crap that’s like the One Piece of a video series kudos to that guy
Wait, does that mean he hasn’t been updating his Minecraft for years? Cause they got rid of the farlands years ago.
He hasn’t updated - and he’s been doing it all for charity iirc
What’s the farlands
In versions of Minecraft pre1.8 beta, the farlands was essentially the “edge” of the map, where the terrain and biomes won’t load properly. It looks something like this:
What a champion.
Kurtjmac is his channel, go check him out~
Fun Fact: Endermen were originally going to be called ‘Farlanders’ and came from here, the ‘End’ of the Minecraft World
Please go support Kurtjmac. He’s a really funny guy and all proceeds of Far Lands or Bust go to Child’s Play Charity, which gives toys, books and games to hospitals worldwide. He raised over 100,000 dollars last season, culminating in a FLOBathon where he livestreams the event! He has yet to die in this series, and has a little minecraft wolf named Wolfie that tags along with him. He talks about current events and space news in a sort of podcast like way, so if youve got time, go check him out!
Its been theorized it’ll take him another 20 years to make it there, without cheats or the nether, and you can already start to see the game breaking around him. As a long time supporter, please go watch an episode or two
There he goes
Fuck dude!!
still kicking!!
HE FUCKING MADE IT!!!!
Naturally yesterday’s anons have given me some thought so I’ve been reflecting a bit. One relatively common critique of being a trans ally is that it’s easier to attack JK Rowling for ‘internet points’ over doing anything else.
And I think it’s worth putting that in context for myself at the very least. JK Rowling lives in Scotland. Her wealth is directly funding court cases against the Scottish government that burns time and resources, and there’s a feeling of powerlessness within ScotGov because they simply cannot compete.
The Scottish Government is a devolved government with limited powers. They cannot make the case against the Supreme Court ruling, and when the Scottish Parliament passed Gender Recognition Act reform, it was blocked by the British Government.
I cannot express enough how much of the anti trans movement in Scotland and the UK is being bankrolled and supported by the wealth and influence of JK Rowling.
People who still love Harry Potter are either directly financing her ability to inflict harm on trans people, or providing her with the cultural capital which keeps Harry Potter in the limelight.
So the option is to take pot shots at that when we can, and help services which provide critical support to trans people which is what I try to do when I can.
TL:DR - There’s a very real reason people take the piss out of JK Rowling. I believe she’s a hateful bigot who contributes to real suffering.
Worth adding because there’s some comments about it - this is not the first time JK Rowling has thrown her wealth around politically.
She spent the run up to the Scottish independence referendum funding the No campaign and referring to Yes supporters as death eaters.

Anadolu has posted interviews with several of the returning activists on their twitter account.
no more jokes about taylor swift's lyrics or about gaylor when all that does is distract from the fact that when it is no longer lucrative to present yourself as a liberal "progressive" artist she has quickly moved on to marrying and befriending trump supporters. i do not care if there was anything gay between her and her ex bestie when her new bestie brittany mahomes is being personally thanked by donald trump. i think it's a shame that all discourse i see on this site about her right now is about whether it's ridiculous and stupid to think she's not straight. what we should be talking about is what it means when the biggest international pop star is getting engaged to a trump supporter during a time when we are seeing eugenics white supremacy ads. i don't care to hear about the eras tour unless it's about how dave portnoy (a trump supporter and alleged rapist) got a personal handwritten note from her at the eras tour. it does not matter if you think she's a crap lyricist or the best lyricist of our generation when what matters is what her choice to align herself with maga signifies about the culture
all the posting is paused today in solidarity with the strike for the Flotilla. (not sure if it's only an Italian thing or not, but just in case, I will not be here today)
ALSO!!! REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! LET'S MAKE THE GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA TAG TREND!!! IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!
Magic the Gathering Tarot Reading
You drew the Reverse Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines. This means something is reentering your life for a second time, and which caused you great havoc the first time it entered your life. This is an ill omen.
You drew Borrowed Time. Something in your life which was important to you is going to be exiled from your life by another force, which will keep your beloved thing away so long as it’s present. It may be the same thing that was noted in Elesh Norn.
Oof… ashnod’s altar. You will be tasked with making a great number of sacrifices in an effort to better your position.
