Ugh, JKR. I am disappointed in her, too. She's entitled to her opinions, but I wish she would read the room, realize how much her words have hurt people, and apologize instead of continuing to act like a troll online. I muted her on Twitter years ago so I wouldn't have to see her posts, but I still get wind of them whenever she's trending for tweeting something offensive. I will always love Harry Potter, but she has completely tarnished her legacy with this anti-trans tirade, which seems so out-of-character for her, considering love and acceptance are such major themes of the series. I don't understand it. But I can separate the art from the artist.
I'm glad you're feeling better! I hate those drastic weather changes, too. It's like a roller coaster. I'm always late to switch out my clothes for the next season because you never know when it's going to get cold or hot again.
Same here about the beginning vs. the end. It's almost always harder for me to start a story than it is to finish it. Sometimes I have slumps in the middle, but once I get to a certain point in a story, I know I'm still going to finish it eventually, even if it takes me a long time.
I hated reading all those things JKR was saying and you're right, reading her work and then seeing her actual beliefs made no sense to me. I felt like an entire underlying theme of those books was acceptance. I guess one thing those books were missing were the inclusion of any LBGTQ people though. So disappointing. I also tend to separate the people from their politics or beliefs as well. If I didn't, I don't think I'd have any friends lol
