Is there some in-joke in the #discworld universe concerning "could of" and "should of" instead of "could have" and "should have"?

It's wrecking my head! This spelling is only ever used in reported speech.

hello friends, exciting news that I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here yet! My #debutnovel, FAILURE TO COMPLY, is going to be published in spring 2024 with featherproof books.

Does anyone (#litodon #literarymastodon) know of venues that would take unpublished excerpts of a #hybridgenre #speculativefiction novel? I think with #madness , #disabilityjustice , #abolition , and #antipsychiatry + use #poetics heavily. Tia!!

#bookishadvent day 24, #smallpress edition is Wild Peach by S*an D Henry-Smith, a #hybridgenre poetry text which defamiliarizes the "natural" with generous helpings of love and magic.

#bookishadvent belated day 23, #smallpress edition is [...] by Ava Hoffman –– Hoffman's visually and topically experimental poetry book toys with expectations of legibility levied on trans narratives. This is #transMadness, recoded.

#bookishadvent day 22, #smallpress edition is Heavenly Breakfast by the incomparable Samuel r Delany. This book-length essay frankly, humorously discusses queer communal living in 1967-68, and approaches its subject matter with a radically anticarceral, #antipsychiatry, and youth-liberation perspective.

#bookishadvent day 21, #smallpress edition is a small #zine with a huge impact - “every thug is a lady” by julia eff. I picked it up on a whim while in high school, and it transformed my relationship with gender(lessness) early in my journey as a trans person. It still means the world to me.

#bookishadvent day 19, #smallpress edition! in honor of my bday, i'm sharing one of my all-time favorite books. ever. Today's book is Salt Fish Girl by Larissa Lai, a #queercrip #canlit novel that fuses myth, poetics, & radical speculation + queer dreaming to imagine alternatives to eugenic racial capitalism. I love this book more than I can say. Read it.

#bookishadvent #smallpress edition, day 11 is Casey Plett’s “A Dream of a Woman”! Plett is one of my all-time favorite authors, and writes stunning trans fiction. This book, from Arsenal Pulp Press, weaves interlocking but distinct stories across a novel-length manuscript — truly a brilliant study in (trans-)form as well as content.

If you’d like to write a guest post for ‘The Romantic Ridiculous’, I’m interested in new approaches to #Romantic Studies especially through ‘ridiculous’ approaches: silly, low, vulnerable! Here are the blog posts so far (mostly me with a couple of guest posts): https://romanticridiculous.wordpress.com/blog-2/

Particularly interested in boosting the work of PhD students and ECRs.

#bookishadvent #smallpress edition day 7 is "The Book of Dog" by the amazing @claire ! I adored this modern-day political fable, and Oshetsky's take on animality in storytelling is a fascinating journey unto itself!
