    I never expected a mash-up of Discworld and ST Voyager. That's... mildly disturbing.

    Although, if #TerryPrachett had kept breathing, I think SevenOfNine would have made an exemplary Watch Officer!

    Well in the #TerryPrachett 's #discworld , the lady dwarves are basically indistinguishable from the boy dwarves, and they have complicated protocols for determining that the dwarf one is speaking to is one, or the other, or some alternative, gender, in order to avoid later embarrassment.

    Ah, I'd start with #TerryPrachett 's Nanny Ogg.

    She likes a beer (or several), sings rude songs when 'refreshed', has a large extended family, and brooks no shit.

  12. @bovaz @ShaulaEvans @bookstodon also for me, that and #terryPrachett night watch should be required reading for everyone in schools (or the US: Did you get a receipt for that prisoner?)

    “ You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me. You're an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government.

  14. Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men "Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate but less popular."

  16. Discworld: "Martina, who has a passion for bookbinding and DIY, decided to take on this mammoth project as her very first mechanical build. Her idea was both whimsical and practical in the most Nerdforge way: she would bind all 40 Discworld books and arrange them around a massive wooden wheel."

    You've read #TerryPrachett right? We all know what the Guild of Seamstresses[1] specialised in 😂 🤣

    1. "Ladies of negotiable virtue"

  20. @cstross Just been rereading "A Life With Footnotes" by Rob Wilkins (biography of #TerryPrachett). He says that #Pratchett had a list of people he would phone up to discuss plot problems. But frequently he would explain the problem and then suddenly hang up without the person at the other end saying very much.

  22. Finally finished Terry Pratchett's Hogfather yesterday, it took me all of a month to read. The good news is I saved plenty of quotes on my Kindle that will be uploaded in time!

    When you get to #TerryPrachett, I'll suggest Hogfather. They're all good, but that one gets quite deep.

  26. I really wish there were a way to hate these little bits directly to Mastodon from my Kobo.

    A quote from The Hogfather, thought it was quite funny myself.

  28. @AnotherJen

    My absolute forever favourite #TerryPrachett quote. But it also needs the bit about 'GRIND THE UNIVERSE DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER....' etc.

    Thank you, for a great Crimbo quote.

  30. Der britische Schriftsteller #TerryPrachett schrieb in 'Wachen!Wachen!' „Man muss nur lange genug leben, um von Helden zu Bösewichten zu werden.“
    Dieses Zeit Problem hatte Sigmar Gabriel nie.
    Der war schon immer Scheiße!
    Oder um #volkerpispers zu bemühen "Sigmar Gabriel - Früher waren 'Dick und Doof' mal zwei!".
    Jetzt auch noch das Lob über Innenminister Dobrindt auf X.
    Immerhin kritisiert er Dobrindt noch dafür, Gerichtsentscheidungen zu ignorieren.
    Ohhh danke dafür Sigmar und jetzt hau ab!

  31. @pisscotheque

    Didn't the almost-sainted #TerryPrachett have sentient gargoyles? <re-reading>

    Yes he did! Just feed them a pigeon now and again. Very patient 'watchers', apparently.
