Our easter egg is the post ghost.

Addiction by Design: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas is a wide ranging overview of slot machines and the people involved with them, like designers, gamblers, casino operators, regulators, executives etc. It's shockingly deep on the subject while also being clear and easy to read. And also like, apocalyptic.

You understand by reading it that the effect slot machines have on people is that they'll sit at them and don't want to be disturbed, and keep spending to the point where they can't gamble any more money. All the rest of the people in the book who aren't gamblers construct elaborate fantasies where that's not what this is all about.

Once you read it you start seeing slot machines everywhere, like so many things function like a slot machine does. So many things are allowed to exist using similar methods to how slot machines work. It can be a very depressing book, but there's something extremely illuminating about it. I came out it feeling better prepared to live life in the world the way it is.

The thing about JKR stuff is that he might not fully understand the transphobia involved. Is this an isolated incident, or is he not supporting your friend in other ways?

We're at a moment of reaction to trans rights, where opponents of LGBT people in general are looking for whatever hooks they can get to wind stuff back. That includes pretending that JKR was attacked out of nowhere, a sort of spiritual "definition of a woman" thing that is ultimately very conservative, and this targeting children thing that twists helping kids with abusive parents into something insidious. Your friend's dad is falling for that, because it's a specific message targeted at twisting his morals this way. All you can hope is that he loves his kid more than whatever this is.
