Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Just found something I wrote in the very specific period of time between disliking Good Omens Series 2 and all the stuff that came out about the writer, and you know what, I really like it. I like it a lot more than Good Omens Series 2. Admittedly I wrote it for an audience of me…

Giving away UK/IE books is nowhere near as rewarding as US books, because it can take multiple days&reminders to get 5 of them claimed. If this were to reliably increase, I would do these more often, hint hint hint.

Cached UK/IE Kindle giveaway: 5 copies of The Martian by Andy Weir, which I have and have read and have enjoyed a lot. I also really liked the movie; I think it was a very good adaptation. You MUST have an amazon.co.uk account to claim one!

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

There’s a fine line between “Yay! New interest! So much stuff I won’t run out for ages!” and “I feel actual guilt that there is so much stuff that I will never catch up and be a good audience for all of it. All the people in this giant show have giant shows of their own.”

Because I don’t have enough depressing conversations with my mother, I told her about the WI (she’s a member.) I don’t think she believed me. And then she got weird and made it a class thing, so I guess today she’s cosplaying as (retired) working class.
