Julie Bindel: but dark lord what should we tell your followers?!
Bindel: they'll be expecting some patented jk rowling hot takes!
Rowling: i don't know, jusst sstall them!!!

[mysterious circle of robed figures]
Bindel: i've called this meeting to come up w a reason why the dark lord isn't tweeting
Kathleen Stock: maybe we can say she's getting her castle fumigated?
Bindel: no we used that when she posted the 'no toilets in hogwarts' tweet

Jesse Singal: oo! oo! i've got one!
Singal: what if we say that 'having achieved all of her goals and ambitions, she has decided to retire forever'
Bindel: no no that won't work
Stock: could we just say that she's brumating?

Kathleen Stock: wait! what if we said she's on vacation?
Bindel: hmm i like it!
Stock: we could even embellish it with plausible details for additional verisimilitude!
Bindel: like that she's... eating vodka-infused candy floss!
Stock: exactly! that's very believable!

[midnight society]
Barker: interesting, joanne hasn't tweeted in like 2 weeks
 Barker: seems kind of unusual
King: oh i'm sure it's nothing
Barker: looks like she's actually deleting tweets
King: oh
King: huh
King: i wonder what that's all about?

Julie Bindel: [rising from bushes] ACTUALLY Jk rowling is actually on a jolly vacation right now so that's why she's not tweeting
Bindel: it has nothing to do with any lawsuit! it's totally legit!
King: where's she vacationing?
Bindel: she's visiting her girlfriend in canada

Bindel: see, i have this postcard right here that she sent saying that she's having a great time on her vacation in vacationia and she's too busy to tweet!
Barker: hey can i see that postcard?
Bindel: um
Bindel: no

Bindel: joanne says that she's having too much fun eating vodka-infused candy floss to be transphobic right now
King: wow! i don't think i've ever seen her have THAT much fun before!
King: this vodka-infused candy floss must be lit!

Barker: so you're telling me
Barker: that jk rowling is right now drunk on vodka-infused candy floss
Barker: a product which i am definitely sure exists and is real
Barker: and being drunk has made her less vocally transphobic?
Bindel:
Bindel: [sweats] yes
