ARE YOU READING MY MIND? I am 55k words into a HP summer camp fanfic for my wife. I only listen to you your podcast for research because I'm not a huge HP fan tbh but I almost had a conniption fit when you said that! 😂
We get to experience most painful death in the series. That poor little fox. Bellatrix was one of my favorite characters, but as soon as she killed the fox, I proclaimed “SHE MUST DIE” #allcapsharry #justiceForTheFox
what an amazing toast and great florallegia to to remember
Parades secret. We cannot redo. Time only goes one direction. We van only THINK back. We are powerless to GO back.
Ok, here's a compromise for pro-life/pro-choice. I think all can agree that once a baby is born it is the weakest innocent human citizen and deserves the full protection of the law. Our community laws need to allow for differing opinions about when a fetus becomes a baby with these rights. Answers vary from conception to birth. The legal line needs to be drawn somewhere between these extremes with abortions being allowed before the line and prohibited past that line. I propose two possible lines to consider based on medical science and nature. 1) Many pregnancies are miscarried within the roughly first trimester. I think the abikity to hear a heartbeat could be used as the observable condition that could be applied by practicioners. This line represents the difference between being pregnant and not. 2) Current medical neonatal care has been able to successully treat babies born after only 20 -22 weeks. This line represents the distinction between baby and fetus. A legal definition needs to lie somewhere between these two points.
Your blessing of Fleur points to the pressure of being representative of your demographic and how this cognitive pressure can produce a lower level performance. For more information about this, look to the work of Claude Steele and his book Whistling Vivaldi.
No, a three year old did not say that there are no pink cars because of the patriarchy. That did not happen.
I have no problem with the restricted section in the Hogwarts library and even think it is appropriate. Unlike books and language in our world, spells and magical books can cause real effects in the physical world. In the wizarding world they can't say "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me." I teach chemistry and am in charge of a chemical storeroom that is restricted. Select well trained students are allowed to retrieve items but not the full student body. It’s the same situation with magical books that require the reader to have some training to use safely. This is not a failure of Hogwarts pedagogy. This is something they've done right.

Secret came to me....envy of the abilities of others...
My secret: Frank doesn’t know what’s going on, but when he emerges from the wand at the end of the book, he also shouts encouragement at Harry
