After reading and re-reading pTerry’s Diskworld books for most of my life, I’m still finding things both cunningly hidden and blazingly obvious. Only just seen the pun in Mistress Tick (doh!) #diskworld #pTerry

trisscar368 I started out reading a fantasy novel. A simple police procedural in a city far away, that straddles an old slow river. But no, it was about ethics. It was about knowing the difference between what's allowed, what's legal, and what's right. And that fairly often those three don't line up. Or it was about gender politics. About the first person in a society willing to step up and say "You've called me by this name, and this pronoun, all my life. But that isn't me. This is me. No, we don't even have that pronoun yet, but this is still me." Or it was about racism. That constant social whine of "well, everybody knows what they're like." The blame game that's based on the whispered mutterings that never have a source, and always boil down to "I'm terrified because they are different. I'm terrified because when I look at them, for a second there I can see myself in their eyes and if I was wrong, then all I've said and done..." It was about giving voices to the voiceless, and hearing how much they've been trying to say this whole time. It was about what it means to be human. I always start out reading a fantasy novel when it comes to Pratchett. And somehow it ends up in a moral philosophy lesson from a professor with a grasp of humanity that still leaves me astonished.

I just realised that the "current king" doesn't care about his kingdom and it is fighting back.

Four books laid out on a lilac-colored surface. On the left, two books, one positioned on top of the other so as to display both titles at the same time: The Little Sparrow Murders, and The Devil's Flute Murders, both by Seishi Yokomizo. On the right, the other two books, also one on top of the other so as to display both titles too: An anniversary reprint of the 1979 Choose Your Own Adventure classic The Cave of Time, by Edward Packard; and Terry Pratchett's The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.
Introducing said 9 y/o small kaiju/honorary nephew to #Pterry #Discworld and classic #ChooseYourOwnAdventure
(and I MAY have bought a couple Christmas presents for myself, trying to complete my #SeishiYokomizo #KosukeKindaichi collection)

A photo of a small black-and-orange cat, taken from above by the person walking her (me). She's standing in snow, which came up to her belly, so she was carefully choosing to walk in my footprints. There are also some of her prints visible in the snow, from when we walked the other way. She is wearing a pink harness with a black lead, which is held by the hand behind the camera.
Neither rain nor snow nor glom of nit can stay Kitty-Boo from getting her walkies.
(But when a bunch of snow fell on her from a tree branch, she did run home, mumbling angrily 😄)

This is a photograph of the hugely-missed author Terry Pratchett. He is an older white man, with a trimmed white beard and glasses. He is (as was customary for him) wearing a black hat and on top of the hat there are two starlings. Terry is laughing. Now the whole point about the footnotes and Alt Text is that both of them allow the author to go off at a wild tangent from the original point being made. Pratchett made extensive use of them throughout his writing. A good example would be a discussion about why there might be starlings on his hat, and if that's what he's laughing. I'll assume it is -- after all, who wouldn't want to laugh if their hat had starlings on it -- but it could be anything. Maybe he's giggling at a remembered reference from one of the footnotes in his own books.
Where Pratchett had footnotes, the Fediverse has alt-text.
