Oh dear, I'm feeling political today. It's just that it's dawned on me that 'zero tolerance' only seems to mean putting extra police in poor, run-down areas, and not in the Stock Exchange.

Death isn't on line. If he was, there would be a sudden drop in the death rate. Although it'd be interesting to see if he'd post things like: DON'T YOU THINK I SOUND LIKE JAMES EARL JONES?

I am currently rather enjoying my first read-through of the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett. As of today, I am a stone's throw away from finishing Interesting Times and starting Maskerade (probably later tonight).

The quote below was the first quote that I deemed worthy of retaining for posterity, upon my first reading of The Colour of Magic.

----------------------------------

"His was the air of one who is unjustly put upon, who is dreaded and feared, yet who is the only friend of the poor and the best doctor for the mortally wounded....

Death, although exceptionally busy at all times, decided that He now had a hobby."

From: "The Colour of Magic" by Sir Terry Pratchett (1983)

Irgendwer muss irgendwann einmal Weihnachten sehr mit Hogfather in Verbindung gebracht haben.

I love that they put up a painting of #SirTerryPratchett at the end of #GoodOmens3 #gnuterrypratchett

For #TerryPratchettDay I want to share one of my favourite quotes. There are many, but this one just resonates with me as a writer. Sir Terry Pratchett's work is about how important stories are to humans and as a storyteller who grew up loving his books, unsurprisingly I feel the same way. He was the first celebrity where I was truly gutted when he died. Much love to everyone who was touched by his stories. 💖

Heute sind es 11 Jahre.

11 Jahre, in denen unsere Welt immer platter und lächerlicher wurde anstatt scheibesker und witziger.

Sie fehlen, #SirTerryPratchett.

But also: may everyone you meet be kind to you.

Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably priced love! and a hard-boiled egg!

Also, don't forget your towel.

"As I recall, they used to sing it after battles," he said. "I've seen old men cry when they sing it," he added.
"Why? It sounds cheerful."
They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.
