Further to the dumb 5-acre idea: people did this in the 1970s and, largely, found out that (A) farming is a skill that takes a great deal of education and practice and (B) in a collective, nobody ever does the poo poo jobs. There are surviving communes from the 1970s, but not many. Further-furthermore, a lot of the land available in small lots in rural areas is available because it's unfarmable. No access to the road. No access to water. Turns into a swamp in the spring. That sort of thing.

Pratchett's books were one of the things that helped teach pre-teen, cisgendered me to be accepting and understanding of people. Like, that's basically one of the overarching themes of Discworld as a whole. TERFs trying to say he'd have been on their side is making me absolutely livid.

Terfs taking a concept that is fundamentally pro-equality and using it in bad faith to attack the less privileged is sort of their whole ideological project, so, it's to be expected really

Jose posted:terfs are having an absolutely normal one about pratchett despite all objective evidence they're wrong but that one in particular "how would his daughter feel" as a reply to his daughter lol they saw "magic is for boys and witchcraft is for girls" and literally did not expose themselves to even a single thing about anything else in his works, not least of all the ones that were basically beginning to end takedowns of how stupid an idea that whole thing is. Probably because they heard kids, magic, and schools and figured they had another Rowling and weren't interested in the other like 25 books with stuff like werewolves and dwarves and all kinds of explorations of relationships and sexuality within the society people find themselves in

the terf stuff is gross but it was nice to see them get absolutely bodied by his daughter and Neil gaiman and then cry about it and there were some really nice stories that made me sad he's dead all over again, and even more disgusted at these loving bigots putting his name in their mouths https://twitter.com/neilhimself/status/1422632330636627968?s=19

Laundromats in the US are common, but more common in areas where people are poor, so shock and awe at high GDP countries not having them be a normal appliance is mostly a class thingOrange Devil posted:I bought a dryer and have never used it because just hanging my clothes to dry is easy and cheaper.

loving TERFs trying to do this to Pratchett. The whole Discworld series was based on people becoming more than what they were born - or made. A golem who spent centuries as a tool, purchases his freedom because he refuses to be a mere thing any longer. A dwarf who fights millennia of tradition to be a woman because she refuses to live a life that isn't true to herself. A troll who came down from the mountain, tired of being nothing more than a nameless monster and found their true self. A werewolf who leaves the old country and tries hard to also leave behind the murderous traditions of her people. A vampire who gives up blood to become a photographer and focus on the beauty of light and motion. A drunken fool of a guard who stands up and finds a reason to be someone he never thought possible. A witch who was born to be an evil crone but who still manages to care about and help all around her. A craven coward who has run screaming from one end of time and space to the other, yet still found his limits when he could have run while innocent people were hurt. The 'living' embodiment of Death itself who learned to care and and love. The entire series is people being more than the fantasy stereotype you've read a thousand times. They're people who decided to be who they are not who other people tell them they are. Become more than they thought possible, no matter how hard or frightening it was. People of extraordinary character and courage. To hell with any TERF who tried to make Pratchett or his work as small and nasty as they are.
