If you enjoyed #Pratchat83, where @tansyrr.bsky.social joined us to talk about Unseen Academicals, you’ll love her new essay about wizard celibacy on the #Discworld in @speculativeinsight.bsky.social!
New essay in @tansyrr.bsky.social's Pratchett's Men series: just why are wizards meant to be celibate? Several reasons are given, not all of which make sense...

We didn’t *plan* for our discussion of the longest #Discworld novel to be our longest ever episode, way over our usual intended time limit, but, well… Let’s just say it went into extra time.
You’ll understand when #Pratchat83 comes out tomorrow.

I have now listened to #PratChat83, the episode of @pratchatpodcast.com about Unseen Academicals. As usual, it was lovely and helped me enjoy the book more, not only because of the mention I got from @tansyrr.bsky.social .

Unseen Academicals, by Terry Pratchett
This story focuses mainly on four people who work behind the scenes at Unseen University, particularly Mister Nutt who is very strange in multiple directions. Also there is football.

We don’t regret reading Pratchett’s work out of order, but we know many folks would like to listen to the Discworld novel episodes in publication order.
Now you can! #Pratchat83 filled in the last gap (so far; we’ve read everything up to I Shall Wear Midnight), so we created this YouTube playlist:

Only just occurred to me the parallels between Unseen Academicals and Lilo and Stitch. Stitch and Nutt both were created for destruction and had to learn to be more than that. #PratChat83

Death and Sal (the little girl Bill Door shared a life time with in Reaper Man) #pratchat83. I have no idea how they would do, but I would love to see that interaction now that Sal is an adult.

I have a copy of this book, and have read it, but it's the least "sticky" Pratchett I've read. Why do I feel that a book about the faculty of Bugarup University playing Fourecksian Rules Football would be more memorable? Did Pterry really fail to make soccer even slightly interesting? #pratchat83

Okay #pratchat83 what is happening at the very, very end of Unseen Academicals? This is based on a possibly False memory of the audiobook and I don’t have my own copy but I think the last line of the book is spoken by an unfamiliar voice saying something like “now it is”. #pterry
