Taeke posted:I'm not going to bother looking up the exact source but I remember reading a story or tweet or whatever of a trans person meeting Pratchett at a signing decades ago and introducing themselves with with their deadname at first (because they hadn't transitioned fully yet iirc?) but asking him to sign it to their chosen name. When asked why they told him they thought they were trans but were still in the process and that was what their true name was going to be. Terry replied along the lines of "Well, I'm honored to have been one of the first people to meet the real you." If I'm remembering the same encounter as you, it was this: I think he was also asked at some point about how he felt about his having trans fans, and he said something along the lines of 'I don't generally inquire into the details of my friends genitalia, so...' Also, anyone familiar with his whole body of work knows that a constantly repeated theme is that it is up to the individual to decide who they are, and that no one is required to fulfill the circumstances of their birth.

The only thing I don't like about the Pratchett estate is that they won't put out a complete Discworld set. I would buy one for me and all of my friends!

Just sell some box sets of the Watch, the Witches, Death, Industrial, odds and ends, etc. if they think a 41 book set is too much.

Taeke posted:I don't know how I feel about the new ones yet, it feels overly produced and I don't like how they do the footnotes) to fall asleep to almost every night because they're engaging enough to quiet my ADHD mind, while also being familiar enough to be able to nod off to without missing too much, and every time I discover new jokes, new insights, have a new appreciation for clever or beautiful phrasing, etc. I copied you and did the same thing last night. I've listened to the older LOTR audiobooks a lot and also DVD commentary tracks (I recommend John Carpenter commentaries). Basically any relaxed chatter. Discworld will be my new go-to. I've read/listened to a couple of them in the past properly. lobsterminator fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Mar 6, 2024 |

Pookah posted:If I'm remembering the same encounter as you, it was this: It is absurd for transphobes to insist no one thought about trans issues until the last few years. It's like they fail the theory of mind test, it wasn't on my radar therefore it wasn't on anyone's radar. This was on american TV in 1986, about events that happened in the 70s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Serve quote:Plot It was a pretty big deal, I heard about it as a kid in Canada. I get that this particular story might not have made it across the pond, but I seriously doubt america was the only country where this sort of thing was happening 40-50 years ago. Trans people didn't burst into existence in the last 10 years.

My dad was a big fan of the album “Switched on Bach” by Wendy Carlos. He told me that he and my mom listened to it a lot when I was in utero. When I got a little bit older, he explained to me that Wendy Carlos was a woman who was born a man. He told me this in a very matter-of-fact way without any judgment. I grew up thinking that this was just a thing that happened to some people. For reference, I was born in 1969.

Milo and POTUS posted:Dog day afternoon was about someone getting their lover a sex change op wasn't it? Yeah, John Wojtowicz ostensibly did it to pay for his lover, Elizabeth Eden, to have gender-affirming surgery. The truth is a bit murkier - it’s alleged he really did it to pay debts he owed to the mob - but he did take part of his share from selling the film rights and give it to her for the surgery. But after that she married someone else and didn’t have a lot to do with him until she succumbed to AIDS-related pneumonia in 1987. There was a pretty good documentary made about the movie and the robbery called The Dog back in 2013.

Wonder how many beaver die per year trapped under their own felled trees. It's got to be a considerable number I'd think. Given their frequency of dangerously cutting down trees.

They are bigger and slower than you think, and look at the tree in this video. That's how a lot of them look.
