     @clacke I read a story once where humans visited aliens and the aliens welcomed them. the aliens could regenerate limbs easily so they had rituals where they ripped off limbs. the humans refused and as a concession the aliens suggested the man could rip off his penis because it was a smaller limb.

     @solarpunkcast @r_emrys Great conversation! Thank you!

     I love hearing people talking about alien bodies and cultures, how they influence each other and how they can contribute to the plot.

     Also interesting to hear the thoughts about brilliant and seminal authors with awful views and how to reconcile that. The role of the monster in fiction is always interesting.

     After that taste, of course the feed went straight into my audio feed client.
