Problematic Potter Plots: An Analysis of Harry Potter from a Sad, Jaded Adult (1st Book part 1)
Before you jump down my throat like my esophagus is a waterslide, I haven’t bought anything Potter-related in nine years. I do not support J.K. Rowling or her pointless crusade against people trying to live their own lives. She can say that continuing to read her content is an endorsement of her political views all she wants, but I’m a fan of using her own words against her because I’m very petty.

When the Sky Stopped Feeling Normal
I’ll be honest: I never used to think about the climate. I grew up in a small town where the seasons were predictable—summer was hot, monsoon came with heavy rain, and winter brought a little chill.
