| Die französische Übersetzung ist IMO sogar ein besseres Wortspiel.
| Leureduthé (Teatime)
| Leredouté (Teh-a-Ti-Meh, bedeutet aber eigentlich 'der Gefürchtete')

Das ist so ein guter Witz, dass der Übersetzer einen #Pterry bekommen sollte (einen literarischen Wortspielpreis, den ich gerade erfunden habe). (s t) #Discworld #Hogwatch #MrTeaTime

#PTerry was one hell of a philospher.

What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Image of a book cover of the comic book/graphic novel version of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman with the art of Colleen Doran, next to it a couple of pins with the shape of feathery wings one black and the other white.

Neither rain nor snow nor glom of nit can stay Kitty-Boo from getting her walkies.

(But when a bunch of snow fell on her from a tree branch, she did run home, mumbling angrily 😄)

A photo of a small black-and-orange cat, taken from above by the person walking her (me). She's standing in snow, which came up to her belly, so she was carefully choosing to walk in my footprints. There are also some of her prints visible in the snow, from when we walked the other way. She is wearing a pink harness with a black lead, which is held by the hand behind the camera.

Where Pratchett had footnotes, the Fediverse has alt-text.

#Pratchett #TerryPratchett #pterry #fediverse

This is a photograph of the hugely-missed author Terry Pratchett. He is an older white man, with a trimmed white beard and glasses. He is (as was customary for him) wearing a black hat and on top of the hat there are two starlings. Terry is laughing.

Now the whole point about the footnotes and Alt Text is that both of them allow the author to go off at a wild tangent from the original point being made. Pratchett made extensive use of them throughout his writing.

A good example would be a discussion about why there might be starlings on his hat, and if that's what he's laughing. I'll assume it is -- after all, who wouldn't want to laugh if their hat had starlings on it -- but it could be anything. Maybe he's giggling at a remembered reference from one of the footnotes in his own books.

I'm doing #WritingMonth (aka #NaNoWriMo (#FuckAI) aka #NovelNovember) atm and something that keeps coming back to me was the posthumous biography about #TerryPratchett written by his assistant Rob, who said something like "somehow, against all odds, the writing got done, despite the immense amount of 'mucking about' we did".

I am a divil for #procrastiwork, and I've actually been letting myself enjoy it. Just jumped into my cloud backup setup for my VPS and cleaned it up, removing all the caches and logs, deleting backups for services I'm not using anymore, backing up stuff I've recently spun up (like this #GoToSocial service). I had been putting that shit off for months, but put a deadline in front of me and suddenly it's the most important thing in the world. But then when it was done, I sat down and wrote for quite a while, until I took a break, and now here I am posting through it (but after my snack, I'll be getting back to it).

My day job is not often stressful, but it demands a lot of context-switching and reactivity. A lot of "eeeep, guess my entire day is calls" kinda days. It's nice to have time set aside for a commitment (writing this fucking book) and to indulge in a little bit of misspent motivation making other things better too.

Le traducteur du nouveau jeu de rôle du #DisqueMonde vient d’écrire aux souscripteurices pour expliquer sa méthode de travail. C’est un boulot de fou furieux, il a bien du mérite @sandyjulien !

Aaaand done. Denne var fin! Det er gøy å se hvordan forfatterskapet til #pterry utvikler seg bok for bok.

Sannsynligvis den beste boka til nå i serien.

U.K. transphobes were trying to retroactively claim the late Terry Pratchett as one of their own. Thankfully, his daughter shot this down brilliantly by pointing out that his books are full of pro-trans stories.

I got to cross something off my bucket list:

I gifted my youngest niece Equal Rites for her 14th birthday last year. This week I was informed she picked up Mort as her "we're on vacation so we, your parents, will buy you a book" book.

@bmacDonald94 and as #pterry well knew, sometimes it takes an awful lot of experience to drive even a tiny quantum of wisdom into some heads.

Timely paraphrase of a quotation from the timeless #PTerry
"At a time like this men like {him} rise to the top. It’s like stirring a swamp with a stick. Really big bubbles are suddenly on the surface and there’s a bad smell about everything."

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!
