I can not post screenshots but please check this out, there seems to be a backlash against LGB Alliance
The feminist library made rounds here early June where feminist blogs were stating they apparently saved adresses when asked to provide books regarding Radical Feminism
I rushed posting this is anyone able to provide citations

The open letter:
"1 July 2022
Open letter: The National Lottery and LGB Alliance
Dear David Knott, Chief Executive, The National Lottery Community Fund,
We are writing to express concern and disappointment over the news that The National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF) has awarded £9,000 of funding to the LGB Alliance to provide a helpline for LGB youth, as part of their Awards For All programme.
LGB Alliance have been identified (1) as an 'anti-trans campaign group' by the Trans Safety Network, who cite for example their opposition to trans-inclusive sex education at schools, and public support of the use of conversion therapy for trans people. We believe providing them with resources to set up a phone line for vulnerable queer youth, considering their track record, has potential to cause serious harm. There are existing phone lines for queer youth that are long-standing and inclusive, where people can explore their sexual and gender identity free from a transphobic agenda: awarding this project grant to LGB Alliance legitimises their message and signals to queer youth that they can be trusted. We believe the LGB Alliance was set up to divide the LGBTQ+ community in a time of rampant transphobia when community building and solidarity are so vital.
We also believe the decision to award public funds to this group is in direct contradiction with your equalities framework (2), particularly where you state your aim to target initiatives that reduce the causes of exclusion and help those at greatest risk. In 2021, the charity Mermaids (which supports trans youth) supported by a consortium of legal and charitable organisations (including trans-led charity Gendered Intelligence) launched an appeal (3) against LGB Alliance and the Charity Commission's worrying decision to recognise it as a charity, on the basis that LGB Alliance use the false pretence of charitability to “divide our community and denigrate those who support trans people.” Earlier this year, Arts Council England rightfully decided (4) to suspend a grant to LGB Alliance awarded as part of their Let’s Create Jubilee Fund after widespread outcry.
We encourage you to follow suit. We ask that the National Lottery suspends this grant immediately and reflects publicly on what led to this decision to make sure it doesn’t happen again."
I was wondering if there are ways to show your support towards the decision of funding LGB alliance's helpline.

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

Just had to block a couple people of the radfem terf-loving variety so seems like I need to post this again... I thought I was being clear when I use this as my profile pic! If you think that jkr is doing the good work or you are otherwise the sort of feminist that will exclude trans women then I don't want you on this page. I don't want you following me, I don't want you to share my stuff, I don't even want you to look at what I post. Don't even argue with me, just go away!

Veiled in Shadows
Severus Snape x reader
Title: Veiled in shadows
Severus Snape x reader
Summary: After Dumbledore's death at his hand, Severus finds comfort in the reader and makes a heartbreaking decision.
---
A creaking door interupted the heavy silence upon Spinner's End, revealing Severus' hunched frame. His face, usually impassive, was deeply etched with weariness and the burden of his betrayal.
You sat by the fireplace, some mending lying forgotten in your lap as you looked up at him. The flickering flames cast eerie shadows across his face, accentuating the lines of exhaustion surrounding his features.
"Severus..." you whispered, rising from your seat and crossing the room to embrace him, feeling the tension in his body as he buried his face in the crook of your neck.
He clung to you like a drowning man, his fingers trembling against your back. "I couldn't..." he began, his voice waivering, "I had to do it."
You held him tighter. "It's not your fault," you softly tried to assure him, brushing a hand gently through the dark locks of his hair. "You did what you had to do." The two of you remained it each other's arm for a long time.
But as the night wore on and the hours slipped away, a shadow fell over his gaze. You sensed a shift in his demeanor, felt a determination that worried you.
And then, when you least expected it, his hand reached out, fingers caressing your temple with a whispered incantation. Your mind swam as a fog descended, clouding your thoughts and memories. Panic surged within you, a primal instinct screaming for you to fight against the encroaching darkness.
"Severus?" you cried out, your voice laced with fear as you struggled against the invisible force that threatened to consume your mind.
Your memories slipped away like smoke, fading into nothingness with each passing moment. Faces blurred, and voices became distant echoes.
Desperation clawed at your heart as you reached out for Severus, grasping desperately at the threads of your rapidly fading reality. "Please," you begged, tears streaming down your face, "don't leave-"
It was no use. He was already slipping away, his form growing fainter with each heartbeat. And then, with a final whispered apology, he vanished into the shadows, leaving you alone in a world that suddenly felt cold and empty.
In the aftermath, all that remained was a hollow ache, a gaping void where memories once thrived. And though you couldn't remember his face or the sound of his voice, you could still feel the phantom touch of his fingers against your skin, a bittersweet reminder of a love that had been lost.
