The first time I read it when I was a wee child, I really didn’t get the whole Boots Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory) but boy, is that ever the most succinct description of how modern capitalism works.
Terry Pratchett truly told it how it is. I’m so happy I got to read him in high school when nobody else in the mainstream was writing nuanced takes on gender expression.
I really am sad I didn’t get that experience. My teenage self would’ve loved discworld. And had I been able to read the shepherds crown when I was 18 (idk if it was out yet then) I think it would’ve broken me in the way I needed
Yep.
