When you sign the petition, it sends and emails to 20 officials who can charge the men responsible for her death.

Bre, a black woman, was shot dead by white police officers in her own home. They had the wrong house and shot her for being home while black. The officers have not been charged.

Stand for her like you did Ahaud. Black women are not incidental victims of police brutality, we matter. Fight for us. Sign the petition.

But you couldn’t escape Harry Potter that summer. Kieth Olbermann made a special comment on it (shortly before the book’s release) in which he predicted that Harry was a horcrux. I wanted two things at the time. One, to know what everyone was on about. Two, to not study for prelims (which was what I was supposed to be doing that summer).

So I borrowed my mom’s copies of books 1 through 5, and read through them all in the space of about a week. Then I got book 6 from the library (mom hadn’t found it as a used paperback yet--we were really broke when I was in grad school) and put myself on the waiting list for book 7.

I admit, it feels strange to announce HPS amidst a pandemic, an international uprising, and the aftermath of one notorious Twitter user’s latest outburst. Here we are.

I’ve always considered this community re-read a place of escapism, a way of reconnecting with why we fell in love with these books in the first place. I’m hoping this year’s re-read can still provide that escapism – I have a feeling we could all use some – but it would feel disingenuous to not at least try and do some good over the course of HPS 2020 (quarantine edition!). So while we’re reading, I’ll also be using this blog to share organisations and fundraisers, as well as petitions, in support of trans rights and/or Black Lives Matter. Please consider leaving them a donation and/or a signature if you can.

Until then, once again … cancel all your plans for the summer (not that you had any), we’re re-reading Harry Potter.

With all that out of the way … I’ll see you lot on Tuesday. :)

Love & take care,
