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.

I don't understand!' said Carrot. Look,I've got this book Mr Varneshi gave me-' he fumbled for the Laws and Ordinances.
Nobby glanced at them, and shrugged. 'Never heard of 'em, he said. Now just shut up your row. You don't want to go making a din like that. You could attract all sorts. Come on,this way:
He grabbed Carrot's arm and bustled him along the street.
'What sorts?' protested Carrot as he was pushed determinedly forward.
'Bad sorts, muttered Nobby.
But we're the Watch!
'Damn right! And we don't want to go tangling with people like that Remember what happened to
Gaskin!'
I don't remember what happened to Gaskin!' said Carrot, totally bewildered. 'Who's Gaskin?'
'Before your time, mumbled Nobby.He deflated a bit. 'Poor bugger. Could of happened to any of us.' He looked up and glared at Carrot. 'Now stop all
this, you hear? Its getting on my nerves. Moonlight bloody chases, my bum!'

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Does anyone (#litodon #literarymastodon) know of venues that would take unpublished excerpts of a #hybridgenre #speculativefiction novel?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!!

Call for Articles on Drag! Planning details in next toot! #dragstodon #AcademicChatter #litodon #histodon #performance

CALL FOR PAPERS We are currently looking for contributions to The Routledge Companion to Drag, a volume that will provide an accessible reference work to drag. This is an area which has garnered much attention through the popularity of TV series such as RuPaul's Drag Race and Pose. The Routledge Companion to Drag is a long over-due response to the popularity of drag cultures, providing detailed critical insights to the world of drag that goes beyond the narrow version of the glitz and glamour on TV screens. The volume will signal a major new direction for a form that has become cultural currency in the media and, more recently, of growing importance for the academy. The Routledge Companion to Drag will be a comprehensive reference work on the multi- limbed topic of drag. The volume connects contemporary concerns around identity and intersectionality to the field of drag studies, including essays on race and ethnicity, disability, class - areas that reflect the current cultural backdrop and social activism of today's

potential readers. The international and interdisciplinary focus will lay out the field in such a way that it includes both mainstream, non-mainstream, established and emergent practices and cultures. The editors of The Routledge Companion to Drag, Mark Edward, Stephen Farrier, and Garjan Sterk, aim to create and widely disseminate a collection of trans/interdisciplinary scholarly papers on drag across a wide range of subject areas. We therefore call upon drag academics, drag practitioner-researchers, drag activists, drag performers, drag fans, and cultural theorists, gender studies scholars, critical race scholars, historians etc. working on/researching drag to contribute to this collection. We are currently seeking expressions of interest in areas such as: drag histories, street and activist drag agendas, • underexplored ball culture and drag

We are currently seeking expressions of interest in areas such as: • drag histories, • street and activist drag agendas, • underexplored ball culture and drag, • drag cultures in popular culture, • the contemporary and historical diversity of drag, drag kings/queens to sissies, AFAB queens/kings, post/alt-drag, trad drag and non-binary and trans drag, drag that exceeds our current understanding of drag, • popular drag cultures and class, • drag and disability and ableism, • drag and gender: awkward bedfellows? • drag and race,

• drag and colonialism - the colonial in drag practice, • drag and fashion. If your preference and expertise is to write on another topic, please feel free to send us an email about your idea. We seek authors who can write on drag practices beyond the global North, to include work from Oceania, Asia, Africa and Latin America. We are looking for contributions that explore, critique and celebrate drag in its local contexts and historical specificity. The Routledge Companion to Drag will be around 54 contributions. Each of them will be around 6,000 words in length and form a coherent, carefully focused entity. The various chapters will be clustered in cohesive parts, each preceded with an introduction to that specific field.

Although our #cfp deadline for the upcoming Ali Smith symposium was yesterday we have had a couple of requests for late submission this Friday. So if anyone else is out there with a paper on any aspect of her writing do send it along by then. We have work on the Seasonal Quartet over represented currently so do think about some other fiction and non fiction as we will really welcome it! #litstudies #LiteratureInEnglish #Litodon #AliSmith #criticalTheory

Two books on Eros I really enjoyed reading in 2022:

#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.
