Prism & PenU.K. transphobes were trying to retroactively claim the late Terry Pratchett as one of their own. Thankfully, his daughter shot this down brilliantly by pointing out that his books are full of pro-trans stories. <a href="https://medium.com/prismnpen/how-queer-people-should-read-terry-pratchett-0109989f006a?sk=4bc21fa162fb91193efe7d045b784e60" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://medium.com/prismnpen/how-queer-people-should-read-terry-pratchett-0109989f006a?sk=4bc21fa162fb91193efe7d045b784e60</a><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/TerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TerryPratchett</a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/PTerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PTerry</a>

Frantic 🇬🇧 + 🇪🇺<a href="https://mstdn.social/@lowqualityfacts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lowqualityfacts</a> after some casual and indifferent research I think you might be onto something interesting here. I think that what you might have missed is that as many as 45 Mondays each year could be 12 hours or less. Of course observational data may not support this as we sleep through the shortened portions which leads to Terrible Tuesday syndrome. Some may consider this to be absurd.Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TerryPratchett</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/GNUTerryPratchet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNUTerryPratchet</a>

About a quarter in now and absolutely loving it.

Beaming this to all <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TerryPratchett</a> fans out there: it will hit that spot.
