US folks can get all Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels in a humble bundle for $18, which is great. Except you gotta trudge through Adobe DRM to extract the actual books so you can load them on your device. Here's how I did it--mwl.io/archives/23343

[ETA: Note I said "US." HarperCollins does not have the rights to sell Pratchett's books outside the US. In the old days, authors licensed books to publishers based on who could print and sell them in each country. Those contracts are still in effect. That's how the big publishing business works.]

My friend shared this with me and I absolutely must share with you all in tandem.

No one will ever know which applies to you!! Unless they both apply. Then, well, that's on you. ;3

@Zennistrad I was reminded that Ebot's Rock is a thing that exists in Final Fantasy VI, and is tied to Strago and Relm's story. Somehow I can't seem to find fics that take this to its logical conclusion and put Relm in as the fallen child

slang psa, misogynistic hate campaign, cultural appropriation 

for anyone who doesn't know, the expressing-approval-of-someone's-politics sense of "based" was popularized by white supremacist Gamergaters after they appropriated it from AAVE: dictionary.com/e/slang/based/
