OK, I've finally finished reading The Shepard's Crown. I was putting it off, for obvious reasons.

And it was a busy old day I just had. Here is a snap I took on the ferry today as we passed a train of barges and their tugs. Not very Ankh Morporkian to be fair.

Somewhat regular reminder that I quoted Sir Terry Pratchett in my dissertation.

https://scholarlypublications.universiteitleiden.nl/handle/1887/3455662

#GNUTerryPratchett #TerryPratchett #AcademicChatter #AcademicMastodon #Bookstodon

For folks unaware of the reference, it's from a conversation between Granny Weatherwax and Rev. Mightily Oats, in Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum. Quoted:

“And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.” [Granny Weatherwax]
“It’s a lot more complicated than that –” [Rev. Mightily Oats]
“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.” [Granny Weatherwax]
“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes –” [Rev. Mightily Oats]
“But they starts with thinking about people as things …” [Granny Weatherwax]

(speakers added for clarity)

#GNUTerryPratchett Got a shout out today on #Radio4's "You're Dead To Me"(A comedy history series I’d recommend) referencing the #DiscWorld book #InterestingTimes and its references to the #RoundWorld Terracotta Army.

I just realised that I can sum up my philosophy on behaviour by paraphrasing Granny Weatherwax:

Don't treat people as things.

It's that simple.

I firmly believe that all 14 year olds should surreptitiously be given Pratchett by someone that isn't a parent.

Especially if they live in a household where they have to hide it because it contains witches.

They are books that teach you how to think, even in the face of extreme authority.

This is my story. I would be a much worse person without having Pratchett books in my life.

#GNUTerryPratchett #Pratchett #TerryPratchett #Pterry

One of the things I like about the fediverse is that there really does seem to be a higher proportion of Pratchett readers than in the general population

Sir Terry Pratchett.

It has been 11 years since death inexplicably refused to give you back.

You still remain the person who has had the biggest influence on me.

Nanny Ogg teaches me to enjoy life.
Granny Weatherwax teaches me to trust in myself, and not to treat people as things
Magrat teaches me that it is ok not to know exactly what I am doing all the time, but to do things I think are important, even if those older and allegedly wiser don't really agree.
Vimes teaches me about determination, family and justice.

There are so many more lessons I learnt from the world you created, and I would not be me without the Discworld.

@carstenfranke @Lana Yes it is a good time to rewatch #GoodOmens apparently Season 3 is coming out on May 13th providing of course Mr 🍊 postpones the actual #Apocalypse until after the MidTerm results🤞 ‼️ ‼️ 😜

Oook‼️ ‼️

One for #GNUTerryPratchett fans who also have a fondness for our Orangutan cousins over the years I have come across several things in #Discworld books that you would initially think of being from pTerry's fantasy imagination but turned out to be references to weird #RoundWorld realities he picked up in his wide ranging reading research but I am not sure if some of his fans in the science community named the librarian Long Call after his death or if it was named before & it made it into the Long Earth series & we only now are beginning to understand the recursive complexities in the language of a fellow ape & he extrapolated it early. Anyway some in the above Venn diagram of interests might enjoy the #SciShow linked below.

Death paused. YOU HAVE PERHAPS HEARD THE PHRASE, he said, THAT HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE?

‘Yes. Yes, of course.’

Death nodded. IN TIME, he said, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS WRONG.

Hi everyone,

I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

Hope to keep interacting with you all!

Otro día probaré a hacer el #gumbo solo de pescado, que, a juzgar por las descripciones de «Brujas de viaje», era como le molaba a Pratchett. Ya os contaré qué tal sale. #GNUTerryPratchett #SpeakHisName

Happy #TowelDay and hope you have a #Glorious25thMay

I don't have any TP related music, but I do have this for DA..
