#meds dont just poof! you’re fine. they are boosts to help us on our way to healing and functioning

warning: more boring JKR stuff.

JK’s latest liked tweet compares HRT to antidepressants in that they are both, “Pure laziness for those who would rather medicate than put in the time and effort to heal people’s minds,” and it’s hilarious to see people on Twitter making the connection between this ableist attitude and the way the apparent avatars of JK’s own depression, the Dementors, can be dispelled by Patronuses, i.e. literally just thinking really nice thoughts really hard.

Her books keep getting worse even when she’s not actively wizard-pooping new stuff into canon.

The ableism in her shit is super strong and I hope this wave of information prompts people to look into and recognize it going forward.

Because there is a lot of ableism.
