@lyda you should read Monstrous Regiment by #TerryPrachett which is very much on this theme ( hilarious and yet deeply insightful). Especially Polly’s reflections on when she “let the socks do the thinking” 😅
I suspect many women in history have taken this logical option.
@gvwilson is that one of Igor's? 🤣

"All the little angels rise up, rise up.
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do they rise up, rise up high?
They rise heads up, heads up, heads up,
they rise heads up, heads up high!
(This is repeated with hands, arms, knees, and finally arse up.)"
<Mind you, as #TerryPrachett himself said many years ago, "Do not Google on 'all the little angels'. Trust me." (Terry Pratchett in a.f.p, 9 Nov. 2002)>
Il faut que je lise des livres français. J'ai appris le français dans l'école, mais il me manque de l'expérience (et des mots).
Nachdem ich Terry Pratchett auf deutsch begonnen habe, and after having read the novels in English, à présent je commence avec la version française!
I finished I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Prachett. My second favorite. It was difficult to read the last chapters without tears in my eyes.

My kid started the Tiffany Aching series in that age - and then read all disk world novels available (as translation) in the library.

May 25th. They get a bit feral on the 25th. Towels, lilac, all kind of arcane stuff. Stay clear till they get it out of their systems is my advice. Have you *tried* getting a sprig of lilac at this time of year?

I bet Granny Weatherwax still has to bump-start it, and if it ever asked her to 'upgrade', it would not go well.
Gerade zufällig bei @Golem über diesen Artikel gestolpert:
Heartwarming, gerade für mich als alten Terry Pratchett Fan :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

The new pope is catholic and follows catholic church doctrine on LGBTQA+ and gender topics. Color me surprised. Just as surprised as I'll be if you tell me ursines defecate in forested regions. Or as the late great Terry Pratchett had Mr. Slant put it in Night Watch: Ave! Bossa nova, similis bossa seneca.
Seems appropriate, given the week #TerryPrachett #borrowbox #audiobooks #LibraryBook
TIL about RFC 4824 ... IP packages via Semaphor....
And suddenly I see the clacks towers on the discworld in front of my mental eye...
Almost but not quite too late: happy #TerryPrachett day to all who celebrate!
Question of the Day: It's Terry Pratchett's birthday. Respond if you are a fan and tell us why you like him. Favorite Discworld? #TerryPrachett
Dentro de cada viejo hay un joven preguntándose qué coño ha pasado.
@gutenberg_org have we finally discovered 'Octrine' from Discworld? #TerryPrachett
Me he encontrado con uno de los libros de #TerryPrachett que aún me faltaba por leer y ha sido una experiencia tan bonita como siempre: tierna y profunda en su sencillez.
