Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

#people just don’t drink coffee like they used to #I’m down to one cup in the morning most days #and very rarely one in the evening after dinner #and semiregularly one cold coffee drink in the afternoon #when I worked at an office it was more like 5 a day #and I’m completely unhinged when I travel #relevant to my interests

Terry Pratchett started his career as a crypto-monarchist and ended up the most consistently humane writer of his generation.  He never entirely lost his affection for benevolent dictatorship, and made a few classic colonial missteps along the way, but in the end you’d be hard pressed to find a more staunchly feminist, anti-racist, anti-classist, unsentimental and clear-sighted writer of Old White British Fantasy.  

The thing I love about Terry’s writing is that he loved - loved - civil society.  He loved the correct functioning of the social contract.  He loved technology, loved innovation, but also loved nature and the ways of living that work with and through it.   He loved Britain, but hated empire (see “Jingo”) - he was a ruralist who hated provincialism, a capitalist who hated wealth, an urbanist who reveled in stories of pollution, crime and decay.  He was above all a man who loved systems, of nature, of thought, of tradition and of culture.  He believed in the best of humanity and knew that we could be even better if we just thought a little more.

As a writer: how skillful, how prolific, how consistent.  The yearly event of a new Discworld book has been a part of my life for more than two decades, and in that barrage of material there have been so few disappointments, so many surprises… to come out with a book as fresh and inspired as “Monstrous Regiment” as the 31st novel in your big fantasy series?  Ludicrous.  He was just full of treasure.  What a thing to have had, what a thing to have lost.

In the end, he set a higher standard, as a writer and as a person.  He got better as he learned, and he kept learning, and there was no “too late” or “too hard” or “I can’t be bothered to do the research.”  He just did the work.  I think in his memory the best thing we can do is to roll up our sleeves and do the same.

Hi hello we met in the queue yesterday and I had a Boggy and a Beans pin, it was so great to see you, what a lucky chance! I accidentally made a party of Boggies and a couple of Bean pins (because making Many are always more fun than making one) and I was going to give them out at the show but was ultimately too worried about my e-ticket crashing to ask people, and then you were there! With your amazing bag of pins!! I am now on the train, travelling on, and I’ve given one to the girl ahead of me in queue to get coffee

This is how far I got on the train haha woho!

Make your own!

I'm re-posting this outside of reblogs so more people see this:

I made a bunch more inrepid hero button badges, and the link is to a pdf file of an A4 printable version! If you print it in actual size they correlate to the standard 25mm, 38mm, 45mm and 58mm button sizes, so if you have access to a button maker (check with your library) you can print them yourself and make them!

Omg HI I’m here! I was on an internet-light vacation trip after and fell off tumblr, I completely missed this! (Thanks For You page, for once you helped!) I have a draft I was writing to you on the train from Glasgow but I got distracted by the group of friends sitting behind me who had also been at the show, and I gave them some of my extra Boggy pins. I also got to talking to my barista at the station when I got a coffee to go and gave her and her colleague pins as well, I think this is going to be my new thing, to always have a couple of extra Boggies to give out whenever I get the slightest chance 🐸

GLASGOW SHOW WAS AMAZING

swedish friend who had already made some of my pins and was wearing them SHOW YOURSELF HI BEST NIGHT EVER

telepathy but the distinct sort of telepathy displayed by men in action movies who have worked together and made it through dangerous situations before.........this is about the beat in inception where arthur backs the taxi into that projection and says "eames" and eames pops up and shoots the guy, no question, knew what arthur meant, 100% trusted that the coast would be clear.............unrelated but these two carried that heist on their fucking backs !!!

#inception #i still love this movie #and it's 100% because of JGL Tom Hardy and Elliot Page #they knew what they were doing!! #they understood those characters in a way christopher nolan could not!!
