Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), which is annually on November 20, honors the lives and memories of transgender people who have been murdered due to acts of anti-transgender violence. Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) shared his support of the LGBTQ community and called out the UK government, which cut bullying projects geared towards LGBTQ kids in school.

Bonnie Wright also shared information about Wild, an eco-friendly deodorant that she likes to use. The company plants two trees with every purchase. We love that her favorite scent is lavender.

It says something about us here in England that we have a special place in our sporting hearts for, arguably, the greatest footballer that ever lived… who knocked us out of the World Cup by punching the ball into the goal.
That cheat prospered and deserved to. #MaradonaRIP

Rocky IV is one of the best Christmas movies.
It is also the best Movie soundtrack in any category.

Speaking of the holidays, November 26 was Thanksgiving in the United States. Wizarding World stars Ron Perlman (Gnarlak), Jason Isaacs, and Jamie Campbell Bower (young Gellert Grindelwald) took to their social media accounts to express their thanks. We hope all those who celebrated had a wonderful and safe day.
Among the many things for which I am grateful, there is nothing more profound than the simple return to decency, empathy, and human kindness. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
