… because they’ve forced their gay men to get trans surgery under threat of a death sentence

Damn he looks good

No guys, you mean the guy who was tied down by all those Lilliputian guys!

Fried monster? I guess if you remember the ancestors of chickens were dinosaurs, we too can have fried monster.

Since you’ve met Tiffany you should meet Eskarina and get a backdoor exploration into Unseen University. So try Equal Rites. Then for more wizards you can go back one to The Light Fantastic, or keep moving forward to explore the whole Discworld and read 'em all. They each have unique qualities, a motley of new and recurring characters, and insights into some of the better and nastier aspects of our own world.

I like publication order, but if you just happen upon any of them someplace, read it. And as you’ll know already, his Young Adult writing is really only a matter of having a young protagonist. So don’t sleep on The Amazing Maurice either. It’s profound.

Pratchett’s Wizard Magic and Witch Magic are quite different styles but all the Discworld books are Good at a minimum and your taste will determine which are Beyond Excellent.

Discworld UU Wizard. Mostly refraining from using magic, and eating enormous dinners.

I guess swallowing them rules them sufficiently

Wikipedia indicates it predates Christianity in the area, but without details. Like, probably something about getting rid of darkness and any evil spirits in the fields as the growing season gets going, but so co-opted by the priesthood that it becomes an Easter Tradition.

While this era overlapped with Jim Crow and the heyday of the KKK, the goal of a penny auction was to enable the original owner/farmer to clear his debts and re-buy/keep his farm. While they wouldn’t have wanted any black person bidding either, there wasn’t any likelihood of that happening. This was white-on-white threats of violence, against wealthy men greedy for more.

Your bad for letting them know about it.

OMG so fun! I guess it’s nice and moist in Germany. Here in Southern California our big fucking fires are more spontaneous and not fun.

As it is, she gets the awareness raising she wants, and they look stupid. Even a KKKristian judge can only give her minor charges. If the crowd rushed the cops, she could be charged with Inciting a Riot. Which is serious unless you’re the PrickOTUS. She seems to be on top of the situation, making sure the footage will confirm any injuries she can claim. Not that she is enjoying it or sought such stupid and over-aggressive treatment. But she knows she has less to fear than a black man.

Or gay. We don’t actually know that much about Joseph except that he handled a lot of wood.

If you’re ever stuck in the US look for “Golden Raisins,” same thing. I agree they’re superior to the dark raisins.

Oh joy! I will have a surprise HRT infoload to look forward to!

Until then have fun, work easy, be safe and sound and well!

That’s what you get when you buy your gold from Ea-Nasir Consolidated Metals Inc.

I’m here to listen. Talk all about HRT.
