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.

On a more serious note: hyperextensions, abductors and kickbacks can be great! Also various forms of squats and... Bridges? Idk what the last one is called unfortunately

I think Shane has a square butt shape (my brother in butts โœŠ) idk what Ilya's is called

Which sounds a bit fake but eg looking at Ilya and Shane's asses.... Both stacked and yet shaped differently so maybe it's worth listening to

I've lately also gotten a lot of content about "if you have a square ass then avoid these exercises" so apparently not all asses are created equally

Illustration of Enitan (right) and Xiang (left), two of the main characters of The Splinter in the Sky. Enitan is a Black woman with short black hair and warm brown skin. She wears a green tunic with a patterned shoulder scarf. Xiang is an East Asian person with shoulder-length black hair and light copper skin. They wear a reddish-brown tunic with a slightly darker gilet. They're drinking tea together.

The Splinter in the Sky is somehow two years old! Please enjoy this lovely drawing of Enitan and Xiang by the unbelievably talented @ashcremated on Tumblr.

A big lesson of the civil rights movement was that everyone has their own activism and we support each other. If you're a radical activist, you can draw fire away from peaceful protestors. If you're a pacifist and you see radicals fucking shit up, no you didn't. You didn't see a damn thing.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Ooh! Happy THE WORKS OF VERMIN day to those who celebrate, which should be everybody. I got to read this as an ARC *ages* ago and I've been excited to push it one everyone -- it has bugs who love opera and weaponized perfume and just gooey wonderfulness.

You grew up in Lashton,โ€ said Pike. โ€œYou know how to handle yourself, donโ€™tcha? Word is people donโ€™t like you.โ€

โ€œOh no,โ€ said Gellert sarcastically. โ€œThat hurts my feelings.โ€

โ€œโ€™Cause youโ€™re on the spectrum.โ€

โ€œColour spectrum?โ€

โ€œAspergerโ€™s.โ€

โ€œAspergerโ€™s,โ€ Gellert repeated, and scoffed. โ€œEven when they diagnosed me, I wasnโ€™t palatable enough to be labelled with Aspergerโ€™s. Iโ€™m autistic.โ€

And blind as shit,โ€ said Pike. โ€œAnd you talk funny. And youโ€™re a cunt.โ€

โ€œAnd you want to hire me,โ€ said Gellert.

Pike grinned, showing his sharp fangs. โ€œYeah,โ€ he said.

โ€œNow whoโ€™s the cunt between us?โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s the different between Aspergerโ€™s and autistic?โ€

โ€œPolitics, acceptability, and about fifteen years.โ€

Do you think people hate you more โ€™cause youโ€™re a faggot, or โ€™cause of the autism?โ€

โ€œAlways asking the important questions, arenโ€™t you?โ€

โ€œIs it true youโ€™re a trap?โ€ asked Pike, and Gellert blinked.

โ€œI beg your pardon?โ€

โ€œYou know, a cuntboy,โ€ said Pike. โ€œYou had your womb whipped out and your tits chopped off, but you still have an axe wound.โ€

Oh,โ€ said Gellert, filing โ€œtrapโ€ away to remember for later, and doing his best to do anything but remember โ€œaxe woundโ€. โ€œThe politically correct term is transgender, but yes.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re not getting angry,โ€ said Pike.

โ€œAre you trying to make me angry?โ€

โ€œNot really,โ€ said Pike. โ€œJust wanted to see if you would be. You too good for crime?โ€

Oh you want to read Gellert's New Job, about the meanest autistic transgender man and the biggest bastard of a vampire mov boss, so badly. You want to read it for just 99p for the eBook or a fiver for the paperback.
