#BlackLivesMatter, #TransLivesMatter

We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming this week to respond to current events and unpack our thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement as well as JK Rowling’s transphobic twitter tirade. In the second half of the show, we discuss some YA book recommendations to uplift voices of BIPOC as well as LGBTQ+ people.

If you don’t think this show is for you, please consider listening with an open mind. Our regularly scheduled program will resume in a week, but there are more important issues that need to be addressed now. Please consider donating to Equal Justice Initiative at eji.org. We have reached our matching goal at this time but would love to continue raising funds as a Real Weird family for this important cause.

Epilogue: Nineteen Years Later

All is well as Alice and Martha round out the final official book club episode. Albus Severus, Little Scorpius, Victoire, and the rest of the gang head off to Hogwarts, and how satisfying it is to know that this is the final moment of the series, the last we’ll see of these characters! This may be the final book club episode, but the podcast is far from over! Stay tuned for later this week, when we will announce our plans going forward.

7.36 The Flaw in the Plan

It’s all come down to this: after all, neither can live while the other survives. Put simply, Harry got to the wand weeks ago; Tom Riddle is too late. This penultimate chapter of the series has wandlore, new theories, and one final Peeves impression. And don’t forget that Slytherin House played its part (for better or for worse…).

7.35 King’s Cross

Alice and Martha once again find themselves on different sides of the aisle regarding what exactly is happening in this chapter. However, we can all agree that the gleam of triumph in Dumbledore’s eyes following Voldemort’s return was thanks to the fact that he would no longer have to coerce Harry into becoming blood brothers with Ron. And in his underrated decision to return to life, Harry is the man in the million and seems to know it (after all, he is a jock who became a cop).
