Toxy 🔬🇪🇺🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇦<p>Reading "Jingo" by Terry Pratchett in the canteen during lunch break. Just got to the bit where Corporal Nobby Nobbs' face contorts in the manner of someone who "has just been mugged walking down memory lane" and laughed out loud. Still chuckling to myself.<br><a href="https://mastodon.acc.sunet.se/tags/Jingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jingo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.acc.sunet.se/tags/TerryPrachett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPrachett</span></a></p>

Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>There was a familiar building on the junction of Broad Way and Alchemists. The facade was ornate, but covered in grime. Gargoyles had colonized it.<br>The corroded motto over the portico said “I DISAPPROVE OF WHAT Y SAY, BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RI T TO AY IT” and in more spacious days that may have been the case, but recently someone had found it necessary to nail up an addendum which read:</p><p>DON’T ASK US ABOUT:<br>gender<br>inclusion<br>diversity<br>Mrs. Cake<br>Israel and/or Palestine<br>climate change<br>Freckleface Strawberry<br>critical race theory<br>Mrs. Cake </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/TerryPrachett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPrachett</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FirstAmmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmmendment</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FreedomOfSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColumbiaUniversity</span></a></p>
Winterbay<p>Hello fellow Pratchett fans. I got a question from a discord I'm in and thought it could be an interesting discussion for here as well:</p><p>Chrysoprase: liverpudlian, or italian?</p><p>I can see both myself. In the old animation he's definitely more Italian coded but some things definitely leans towards a more homegrown British background.</p><p>Ideas? Thoughts? 🙂</p><p><a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/TerryPrachett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPrachett</span></a> <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/gnuterrypratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnuterrypratchett</span></a></p>

Martin Seeger<p>It is ten years today and it still hurts ...</p><p><strong>My dear Terry</strong></p><p>March 12, 2015</p><p><strong>Very few people have had so much impact on my life as you did: my family, close friends, some teachers in school. But that’s it. Together with <a href="http://www.davidweber.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Weber</a>, you’re the reason I switched my primary reading language from German to English. That had a profound impact on my professional career in which a significant part of all communication is done in English. My patient’s provision includes a link to a video with you. But this is only the obvious stuff. The more subtle part is an integral part of my humour and ethics, that even I cannot tell where your influence starts or ends.</strong></p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“Not now! Can’t you see I am talking to him?”</p></blockquote><p>We met first at the university. I think Achim introduced us. When I mentioned to him, that I like Monty Python, he suggested that you and I should meet. That was during the late 80’s. I just had started to roam the Fantasy circles but had not run into you yet. You baited me with a story about the most improbable sorcerer Rincewind and I took it with hook, line and sinker. I still lived at home with my parents, but you moved in with me any way. No big deal; you only needed a bit of shelf space. I could deal with that.</p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“Come on, give us some space here!”</p><p>“HE HAS TO COME WITH ME”</p></blockquote><p>Our first meeting was in Hamburg at Kampnagel. I learned a lot from you that night. About “drunk” being the universal language of the universe, the importance of fairies in running a nuclear plants in England and how four elderly ladies plundered an AD&amp;D dungeon. My diaphragm was sore for days, so hard I laughed. There were a few hundred people in the room, but everyone hang on your lips, including me. Instead of giving us bits from your existing universe (“You look like students, so you can probably read yourself”), we had the impression you created another one for us.</p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“This is not fair!”</p><p>“THERE IS NO JUSTICE, ONLY ME”</p></blockquote><p>Afterwards you spent some time with us, chatting and signing. I had a large stack of books from friends to be signed. So, when you signed the first one, I went back to the end of the queue to get the next one signed. About 50 people later, I arrived at your table again. To my complete amazement, you noticed me being there again. And you then insisted on signing all books, one after the other.</p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“One more thing!”</p><p>“I DIDN’T SPARE THAT ONE EITHER”</p></blockquote><p>We exchanged a few emails afterwards. You already used email at a time when it meant running a UUCP site and required using a lot of “!” to reach someone (not to confused with the use of several consecutive “!” which is a sign for a deranged mind). You posted on newsgroups long before the Internet became a fad. I always admired your patience with us, who took you as our reporter covering the Diskworld and L-Space.</p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“Please!”</p></blockquote><p>You always kept your humour (the only fracture I ever noticed was when I asked you about the Maggi soup ads in your German book). We knew you were not a <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/24/terry-pratchett-angry-not-jolly-neil-gaiman" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“jolly elf”</a> and that the embuggerance was serious. I was dreading this day. But you came out swinging. I can only hope I am up to the same standard when MR. UPPERCASE is trying to arrange a date with me.</p><blockquote><p>KNOCK, KNOCK</p><p>“Please, let him write one more book”</p><p>“NO”</p><p>“One more page”</p><p>“NO”</p><p>“One more sentence?”</p><p>“NO”</p></blockquote><p>Farewell, Sir Terry, I thank you for all you did for me and I miss you dearly.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TerryPrachett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPrachett</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pterry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pterry</span></a></p>
