J.K. Rowling - De Ickabog @jkrowling_official @jkrowling.official #jkrowling #deickabog #theickabog @uitgeverijdeharmonie #uitgeverijdeharmonie #steenrijk #ickabog Wie heeft dit boek al gelezen? Wat vond je er van? ............ Inhoud: Er was eens een klein landje genaamd Steenrijk, dat al eeuwenlang werd geregeerd door een dynastie van blonde koningen. De koning in de tijd waarover ik nu schrijf, heette koning Fred de Flinkerd. Dat 'Flinkerd' had hij zelf aan zijn naam toegevoegd op de ochtend van zijn kroning, deels omdat het mooi paste bij 'Fred' maar ook omdat hij op een keer helemaal in zijn eentje een wesp had doodgeslagen, als je tenminste die vijf lakeien en de laarzenpoetser buiten beschouwing liet. Zo begint dit verhaal van J.K. Rowling. De beste vrienden van koning Fred zijn baron ter Sluyks en baron van Bulckhoven, die natuurlijk weinig goeds in de zin hebben. En bestaat de Ickabog nou wel of niet echt? The Ickabog is coming... A mythical monster, a kingdom in peril, an adventure that will test two children's bravery to the limit. Discover a brilliantly original fairy tale about the power of hope and friendship to triumph against all odds, from one of the world's best storytellers. ............ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookstagramnl #bookstagrammers #boekstagram #dutchbookstagram #instaboek #dutchbookstagrammers #dutchbookstagrammer #boekenwurm #booktrovert #bookmail #boekenpost #ya #yainsta #yaboek #wishlist #coverliefde #coverlove #ikhouvanboeken #jeugdboek #juniorfantasy #junior #jeugd @donner_rotterdam @donneryoungadult @jkrowlingweb @jkrowling_stories https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd2dBL1oxq_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thinking about @same-shit-different-century joking about how Strike is a great fandom because we all prefer Robin, and honestly you could say this about everything JK Rowling has written, ever. It's not that her male characters are uninteresting (the interiority of Snape or Dumbledore can't be qualified as shallow and that's why they're appealing), but of the main trio in HP, Hermione is so obviously the strongest character. Harry and Ron are great, but Hermione is iconic, she's just more memorable! In The Casual Vacancy, it's Krystal and Sukhvinder you end up identifying with and rooting for the most. The only exception might be The Ickabog, which is a (fucked up) fairy tale so the characters are more archetypical and it's more of an ensemble cast kind of story. Even then, Daisy is arguably the story's main hero. Jo has just always made it her business to write female characters who are compelling, imperfect, inspiring people, and who take space narratively and root themselves in the reader's heart and brain.

Oh, you admit to hating trans people? Jkr's profits will go to hurting trans people, and you SUPPORT that? You're a bad person.

Are you fucking joking? JKR's profits go to:

About 16% of her wealth was donated in 2011 to organisations fighting worldwide poverty. I imagine that figure has probably doubled since.

Rowling also works with Amnesty International, and during Covid she published The Ickabog, whose royalties all went to supporting charities that supported vulnerable groups affected by the pandemic.

J.K. Rowling is Founder and President of Lumos, an international children’s charity fighting for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world. Lumos sheds light on the root causes of family separation – poverty, conflict and discrimination – and demonstrates that children can safely be united with loving families that help them thrive.

The Anne Rowling Clinic was founded by a donation from J.K. Rowling in 2010 in memory of her mother Anne, who died in 1990 from complications related to multiple sclerosis.  The Clinic delivers clinical care and research to improve the lives of people with degenerative conditions affecting the brain, as well as hosting specialist NHS clinics for these conditions.  Jo continues to fund MS research exclusively through the Anne Rowling Clinic.

J.K. Rowling also supports a wide range of projects and organisations through her charitable trust, Volant, which she set up in 2000 to administer grants to charities, primarily in Scotland, which help alleviate social deprivation particularly affecting women and children.

She's also created Beira's Place, a service for victims of sexual violence, focused on women (including trans men with female sexual organs).

In addition to donating directly, J.K. Rowling makes substantial donations to charity in the form of book royalties.  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages are sold in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard is sold in aid of Lumos.

In 2020 J.K. Rowling announced that she is donating her royalties from her children’s book The Ickabog to Volant, to help support vulnerable groups who’ve been particularly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, in the UK and internationally.

THAT's where my money goes to, because we're such evil people. And I'll have you know of all of my trans friends, nobody has stopped being my friend for my support for Rowling. In fact, a handful of them are Potterheads.

"Ms rowling you have not mentioned the Palestinians once, your concern has been solely for the Israelis…" maybe now, but in the past she's talked plenty abour Palestinians, hell all the money she earned with The Ickabog has went towards helping them... that said, yeah could she be talking about them *now*, yeah, but again, given the past I don't fault her too much.

But fr if I’ve missed something let me know

#radfem safe #gender critical #apparently she wrote an essay comparing the conflict to Harry Potter which is…weird

[kathywritesblog]

" I think people need hope nearly as much as Ickabogs do. But," she said, placing her hand over her heart, "my mother and father are both still in here, and they will always be. So when you eat me, Ickabog, eat my heart last. I would like to keep my parents alive as long as I can."

Review: The Ickabog

The Ickabog by J.K. Rowling ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, even if I don’t agree with many of Rowling’s views, so when I saw that she’d written another children’s book, I thought I’d give it a try. I was even more intrigued because of the beautiful cover. Read: June 5 – June 9, 2023 Buy Your Own Copy Book contains: murder, manipulation,…

Concluding thought: is JKR the most charitable celebrity out there, or just the one who's got the busiest PR?

Most celebs give to charity and many give heavily, but none I can remember has ever tooted their own horn so loudly.

Why? Because JKR's charity is how she buys public consent to bend UK politics around her own personal neuroses.

[strangestcase]

Don't reccomend reading the Ickabog because 1) Rowling 2) it's boring but the Ickabog itself is the most trans coded monster in modern literature and...

it's a misunderstood parent of Twins? Who saves the day against the corrupt rich people using it as a scapegoat for their murders?

Like how the the fuck did the Queen of Terfs write this cute little book and then write the Comaran Strike series in the same breath?

cognitive dissonance

Bibliomancy (Frankenstein) Poetry

Personally don't like calling it a "bibliomancy" poem so I call it a Frankenstein poem (which is more fitting anyway). Basically what we did was pick out random books of our liking from the library and turn them into poems by doing like randomizers to tell the line and paragraph and page and stuff. I made a couple because they're really really fun to make. Here they are!:

1 (Vampire Smell)

In spite of the thick snow now covering every landmark,

The vampire holds the stake in the air.

“What about people?”

“What's that smell?”

That stupid guidance counselor isn’t gonna shut up about it,

I’m enough like her to understand.

(books used: FLCL, Go For It Nakamura, Howl’s Moving Castle, Toilet Bound Hanako-kun 4, Wayward Son, The Ickabog)

2 (Conversation)

“I’d be halfway to Porthaven in two strides!” she said as she emptied the pan of eggs.

“I don’t know, better ask Neil”

The dog-man sat down on Michael’s feet, staring tragically.

“Since he's an evil demon” one of the boys said, “he’ll lose his life”

Her eyes were on that white light,

The blackened name when we first set up the castle.

(Book used: Howl’s Moving Castle)

3 (Experiments)

“Good for you!

N.O. utilizes the right and left brain thought processes”

Like it’ll do him any good.

He quietly left the museum.

(Toilet Bound Hanako-kun 4 and FLCL)

Still, it was hard to have parents who lived inside you, when all you really wanted was for them to come back, and hug you.
