It's a bit "Deprtament of the Bleeding Obvious" but....
The Light Fantatstic:- Blinded by the Light, Manfred Mann's Earth Band (not Springsteen as #pterry would be more familiar with the version which charted in the UK)
Soul Music:- There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis, Kirsty MacColl
Last Continent:- Down Under, Men at Work
Hogfather:- I Believe in Father Christmas, Greg Lake
Interesting Times:- Search for the Hero, M People (Could also work for The Last Hero but seems more appropriate here.)

Sir #Pterry is one of the few authors who have written sequel after sequel after sequel, and the books get better and better and better.

@juergen_hubert Terry Pratchett must have heard this story. He used something similar in one book, except that, being #Pterry, there was only one stone.

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.

What a gift to all of us! A gift to myself tonight, lay down on my warm bed with a comfy sweater and pillows, stretch out and really listen to long agos I really miss and am glad to visit again. #SirTerry #PTerry #Prachett #Discworld #Thud #Snuff https://allovertheplace.ca/@mcourcel/116242190012219796

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.

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

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 😄)

I'm doing #WritingMonth (aka #NaNoWriMo (#FuckAI) aka #NovelNovember) atm and something that keeps coming back to me was the posthumous biography about #TerryPratchett written by his assistant Rob, who said something like "somehow, against all odds, the writing got done, despite the immense amount of 'mucking about' we did".
I am a divil for #procrastiwork, and I've actually been letting myself enjoy it. Just jumped into my cloud backup setup for my VPS and cleaned it up, removing all the caches and logs, deleting backups for services I'm not using anymore, backing up stuff I've recently spun up (like this #GoToSocial service). I had been putting that shit off for months, but put a deadline in front of me and suddenly it's the most important thing in the world. But then when it was done, I sat down and wrote for quite a while, until I took a break, and now here I am posting through it (but after my snack, I'll be getting back to it).
My day job is not often stressful, but it demands a lot of context-switching and reactivity. A lot of "eeeep, guess my entire day is calls" kinda days. It's nice to have time set aside for a commitment (writing this fucking book) and to indulge in a little bit of misspent motivation making other things better too.

U.K. transphobes were trying to retroactively claim the late Terry Pratchett as one of their own. Thankfully, his daughter shot this down brilliantly by pointing out that his books are full of pro-trans stories.
