Vickie Gray 🍁“History isn't like that. History unravels gently, like an old sweater. It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always - eventually - manages to spring back into its old familar shape. History has a habit of changing the people who think they are changing it. History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.”
― Terry Pratchett, Mort

11 Jahre, in denen unsere Welt immer platter und lächerlicher wurde anstatt scheibesker und witziger.
Sie fehlen, #SirTerryPratchett.
Discworld ConventionOn this day in 2009, our favourite author became Sir Terry Pratchett! To mark the occasion, and because a knight ought to have a sword, he had his very own sword forged from Thunderbolt Iron.

> Signs of Sir Terry Pratchett's dementia may have been present in his writing a decade before his official diagnosis, new research has found. Researchers have examined the lexical diversity—a measure of how varied an author's word choices are—of 33 books from Pratchett's Discworld series, focusing specifically on his use of nouns and adjectives.

@davep C.M.O.T. Dribbler would have snapped those up! Much tenderer than rat.
Proto Himbo EuropeanRandom suggestion for new folks: get people to follow from your interests. One of the best things I did a few years back was to post a bunch of #Discworld memes and use a couple of relevant hashtags. This must have happened at a good time, because within a couple of days I had a few dozen likes and shares, and every one of those people was someone I wanted to follow.

The Tattooed Nonna 🧙♀️Bizarrely I was reading WYRD sisters by #SirTerryPratchett yesterday. The witches there use headology to cause a member of the guard to kill another more vicious guard.
