I'm giving BlueSky another go. Unfortunately, this means I need to find everyone again. If any #Discworld folk in the vicinity could raise your arms* and wave that would help tremendously

*If you are out and about this may not be advisable... especially at a restaurant.

A still from Jurassic Park where the characters are looking at a computer screen. The display on the computer screen has been edited to read "+++OUT OF CHEESE ERROR+++ +++REDO FROM START+++" and the subtitle edited to read "This is a Hex system, I know this!"

Migrants didn't cut council funding.
Migrants didn't raise energy bills.
Migrants didn't close community centres.

Know what would help solve Scotland’s problems? Taxing the super-rich and building an affordable country for all.
Stop blaming refugees... for problems caused by billionaires. Scottish Greens.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence.

The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

The UK government continues to do all it can to embolden racists in an attempt to hold onto power. This isn't how you make a society work, this is how you make a society break down.

The Terry Pratchett quote "Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things" is very appropriate today.

If we are going to carry on, full steam ahead, with this dystopian capitalism nonsense then I propose it should be law that, by the age of 50, everyone should have the means to dissappear into the wilderness should they wish.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

Plausible Fact of the Day

The Linkin Park song "In The End" is about the futility of trying to open a pack of biscuits* using the little "open here" tab

*Custard creams, naturally. Why would you be attempting to open any other type of biscuit packaging?

I really hope Terry Pratchett had some inkling that the Vimes Theory of Boots would end up being referenced all over and often politically. I suspect he would have been incredibly amused by all of us. And maybe pleased at how much it helps people see how our system currently works.

My cat, who is angling for a second pouch of wet food*, is an expert at what I'm referring to as "psychological warstare"

*Presumably because she didn't get enough gravy on her nose the first time

#Cats #CatsOfBluesky
A black and white cat sitting on a burgundy rug. She's staring wide eyed at the camera, her bushy white whiskers and elaborate white eyebrows framing her face in a way that suggests she hasn't been fed since the dawning of the modern age. The tip of her nose is slightly discoloured from sticking her face right into her first meal.

This is a great summary of what's going on in particular sections of the news media. It's obvious that the only real issue that the tabloid media has with Zack Polanski's mouth is that he uses it to say that we should lift up people who are struggling instead of the rich.

#PenQuote #November8th
A seeming predictive portent pen quote of Terry Pratchett from his Going Postal story that reads, “What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.” Written rather intentionally with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki, Diamine Launch! Orange & Scriptus 10th Anniversary TDot Teal.

Please try your best to avoid supporting organizations that are funding Trump's hate crusade. If that means resorting to a less convenient way to play music, or going without the latest phone model for a year or two etc... they are small prices to pay in order to send the message "Hate isn't ok"

I hadn't even noticed, an entire article about the Discworld RPG adventure that I penned!
Shocking no one, the Discworld tabletop RPG gets extremely political
Terry Pratchett's Discworld is famous for using fantasy to make poignant remarks, and the Adventures in Ankh-Morpork carries on that trend.

Guess the Game this week was only one of my favourite video games ever made! The Curse of Monkey Island.

Not many people have heard of it these days, but a couple of you seem to remember it at least!

basic run down of how i recommend pratchett to people:
hoo boy, this is very visual. it's a venn diagram of three circles, consisting of various pratchett serieses, and then i'm put including brackets to indicate the paradigms i associate with each to recommend the right series to the write person. So... ok, i can do this. If someone colon lives in the countryside: witches. has been part of a team or corps: guards has worked in academua or been a student: unseen university and rincewind. if they're all for multiculturalism: witches, guards, small gods, or pyramids. if they understand politics and or socio-cultural norms, or if they read either spec fic or paranormal books: guards or unseen university, with a crossover at moist von lipwig if they had a shitty boss or family: witches or unseen university, with equal rites being both the aforementioned, and the tiffany aching books fitting here too And the centre is Death and Susan.

Discworld Calendar - November 1999
Maskerade by Josh Kirby
It's all going wrong at the operahouse. In this crowded scene, there's trolls, witches and watchmen about, but where's the opera ghost and will he kill again? The fat lady is singing but it doesn't look over just yet.
A view from the ceiling of an opera house, or maybe the chandelier? The proscenium arch and balconies are all decorated in swirly, ornate gold. On the stage a large man wearing a small mask is singing. Besides him, a large woman with curly brown hair and wearing a green dress is singing, and standing in front of her a thin, blonde woman in a white dress is singing. Behind this trio is a small Watchman with a suit, axe and helmet, behind him are some yellow trolls in suits. Right at the back is a sinister-looking figure in black and probably another figure in a mask welding a knife, though it's not very clear. Peeking around the curtain is another black clad figure. In front of the stage human and troll musicians are playing. In a private box a man surrounded by plush red curtains is leaning over to look at the stage. Above him there's a massed rows of audience made up of people in formal wear, all looking towards the stage, some leaning over the balcony. The central leaner is a witch with red boots, stripy stockings, a black dress and pointy black hat with a grey cat perched on it. She has her feet on the chests of 2 men in the audience and is leaning over the balcony with a pipe clamped between her lips.
