Conquering the literary world wasn't enough for "Harry Potter" author, J.K. Rowling. She's quickly begun conquering the Twitter world with tons of ferocity and even more snark. And we can't get enough. Here are 10 times our homegurl J.K. absolutely slayed the Twitter game.

1. When She Totally Called Out A Trump Supporter

Rowling hasn't been shy about her feelings towards the 2016 United States presidential election. Does this mean that our dearest president is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named?












2. When She Shut Down The Westboro Baptist Church

When Ireland legalized gay marriage, J.K. joked that Dumbeldore could marry Gandalf in Ireland. The Westboro Baptist Church decided that they would picket such a celebration, and J.K. was having none of it. It's truly their loss!

3. When She Explained Why No One Saw Dumbledore Being Gay

A fan tweeted at Rowling asking why she decided to make the powerful wizard gay, and why no one saw it coming. Rowling quickly sent this retort explaining why Dumbledore's sexuality wasn't obvious.

4. When She Absolutely Schooled Rupert Murdoch

Seriously, schooled him.

5. When She Wasn't Afraid To Tweet Her Beliefs

But when was she ever afraid to Tweet them? J.K. donated over 1 million pounds to the Scottish government's "Better Together" campaign and got some serious backlash because she's from Britain. People tweeted at her calling her a "hypocrite" a "traitor" and she was quick to defend herself.

6. When She Made Everyone Jealous Of Her Fictional Diamond Studded iPhone

You're really telling me that you don't have an iPhone @Lukekocura? Everyone has an iPhone. Nevertheless, I'd like to know where I can get a similar studded phone?

7. When She Revealed The True Character of Dobby

Because honestly, he totally was. Who actually thinks it would be a good idea to drop Aunt Petunia's cake on the guests? And then there's that whole Quidditch situation...

8. When She Continued Our Favorite Story...In A Tweet

*Cries very real tears because I was not in Edinburgh to say hello to James as he started school*

9. When She Mocked Donald Trump (Again..)

They're just "alternative facts," people!

10. When She Seriously Humiliated Mr. America

Darling Mr. America has basically become internet famous, though, so I guess it's a win win? Plus, no one ever turned into a frog. Get with it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
