I used to be a huge Johnny Depp fan; he was my teenage crush when he was in Pirates of the Caribbean, so I really do understand the visceral need to defend someone who was a big part of your past. I get it. Regardless, Depp is an abuser who hit his ex-wife Amber Heard. You can argue with me from morning til late at night on whether you think Heard is a liar, but I believe her and that’s the end of that. There’s no debate to be had.

I was surprised by this cast development because, while I disagree with Rowling on many issues, I thought she wouldn’t cast an abuser of women for this franchise. Granted, I am unsure of how the casting works – I’m unsure if she even has any input, really – but she has to speak out now that the news have been made public. I cannot, in good conscience, be excited about this franchise like I was a day ago. What Johnny Depp did to Amber Heard makes me – and thousands, maybe millions of women – feel sick and vulnerable. I would like my wizarding universe without these feelings, please.

From the Talmud

Pirkei Avos (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers) 2:16 

(via arubasmusings)

That last bit –

Lo Alecha haM’lacha Ligmor, veLo Atah Ben-Chorin leHivatel Memenah / לֹא עָלֶיךָ הַמְּלָאכָה לִגְמוֹר, וְלֹא אַתָּה בֶן חוֹרִין לִבָּטֵל מִמֶּנָּה / It is not your duty to complete the task, but nor it is your freedom to withdraw from it

– is something which is not shared nearly enough, something which is not repeated nearly enough, something with is not SHOUTED FROM THE FREAKING ROOFTOPS nearly enough.

I just learned that there’s a man who shops at trader joes in Seattle and buys things in bulk and then transports them up to Vancouver to his own store called “pirate joes” because there are no trader joes in Canada. He’s gotten banned at some trader joes because of this and sometimes has to put on disguises to shop and he even hires people to go shopping for him and it’s like a secret mission. He even has a van that says “grocers without borders” and trader joes has sued him and lost. My favorite part of this is that this whole situation could be easily fixed by trader joes opening a store in Vancouver and hiring him

Chaotic good
