@Nick_Stevens_graphics #pterry would be at least top two in my personal ranking of which of those four I'd most like to meet.

@georgetakei @rayhindle I like the Terry Pratchett approach, politicians in XXXX are put in prison as soon as they are elected - it saves time later. Hence several references to going to the prison to see the prime minister. #pterry

I thought I would ask BIng Image Generator to draw Pratchett's "the luggage".
"A piece of luggage, a round top wooden chest, bound with bright brass bands. It is supported upon many short, muscular, human-like legs with bare feet, all except one leg which has a jewelled shoe."

Not impressed. 4/10

I missed out on AFP but I did join the Discworld Emporium message boards and met a few AFPers there, then met them in person at the Discworld Conventions over the years. I love that the Mended Drum is a server here, if I ever switch from mastodon.ie it’s my first choice. Seems to be plenty of Pratchett fans new and old on Masto so I follow all the related hashtags I find - hadn’t yet added #PTerry! :pratchett:

@cunobaros Where did the #Pratchett fandom go after #AFP faded out? #TerryPratchett #SpeakHisName #Pterry

@craigmaloney I would going to say pluralise “Roger the bull” as I have only just read the door note that explains “Rogers the bulls”. But I am not sure it make it/they more ominous… #pterry

Oh, and at the risk of sounding like C.M.O.T. Dibbler, the small PCBs we are selling make almost nothing and certainly don't remotely cover the R&D costs. #PTerry

This is very much in the vein of "open source hardware and software" just that us bulk ordering PCBs and selling them helps people use the open source software more easily.

Today I wore the lilac. Not a live blossom, sadly, because here it blooms in April.
That book seems increasingly relevant.

The 25th of May is separately

* Geek Pride Day (being the date of the first Star Wars cinema release) #StarWars #geek
* Towel Day #DouglasAdams #h2g2 #HitchhikersGuide
* The Glorious 25th #Discworld #TerryPratchett #PTerry #SpeakHisName

Of course, sometimes, and unsurprisingly with #PTerry, the font is relevant to the story!!!

@marramgrass And, of all the router/firewall manufacturers in the world. Who do you think makes one that understands, and I hope honours, #PTerry?

Do boost

@marramgrass I read them all, but years ago, and enjoying re-reading now. Yes, I remember this was a good one. And I know elves are nasty 🙂

I quite like Going Postal too.

The screen is slightly censored as well now, and it won’t do WiFi any more. Ho hum, #pterry will have to wait a bit.

@mkarliner Well, today is the one for Morris Dancing maybe... But not sure I am an "advocate" of such.

I'm re-reading "Lords & Ladies" by #Pterry right now, so topical.

#GutenMorgen Trötenland.
Heute wäre #TerryPratchett 75 Jahre alt geworden.
R.I.P. Sir #Pterry.
Ich wünsche trotzdem allen einen schönen Tag. ☕
