Rhianna Pratchett

She’d probably say she’s more of an elder Magrat.

We put together a playlist based on what point we thought the surgeon might be at during the C-section. So calm at first and then building up with a mix towards the end. He was either going to be born to Sweet Child O’ Mine, Welcome to the Jungle or Carry On Wayward Son.

@dynael.bsky.social and I would like to introduce you to Samuel Raphael Pratchett. Born on July 19th 2025 to the sound of Welcome to the Jungle by Vitamin String Quartet. Not bad for a human.

Esk is the one that Dad openly said was based on me, but I think there’s a lof me in Tiffany and Susan.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west's help | Owen Jones The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza.

It said it was starving Gaza over and over again.

It has done so systematically - with the full complicity of the West.

You can also get to AC easier by going down the slope, with the bear cave on your left, then at the bottom taking the right hand path through the canyon & into AC via bitter marsh. It’s a long way from the good stuff but it’s an easier route in with lots of rushes, and the angler’s hut for shelter.

Although this depends on what you classify as the snow fields. If it’s to the right of the main slope down (the area with lots of trees, some birch, wolves and occasional moose spawn) then you want to keep to the left side of it and keep the crate and cargo holder to your right.

When you’re heading to the right of the snow fields you go by a piece of plane (by a cargo holder, crates) cross a tree bridge, pass through a rabbit area, some rose hips, sometimes saplings, keep right, pass small cave on right, get to rope, climb, continue to right. First cave to right is AC cave.

Massive congratulations. Aliette. Well deserved!

Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites

Many times now 😁

I believe he is referenced, but not by name.

This is my local association doing very powerful work with women who are victims of domestic abuse--they are raising funds and would really appreciate the help so that they can continue to function

I have yes! It’s fantastic ❤️

but… isn’t the point of drinking coffee to sit there and read a book while you do?

the decline of reading for fun is maybe the single most depressing thing about the technological era we’re living through

It’s more of a dog bat 🐶 🦇😁 Hope he enjoys it.

Happy Father’s Day to all dads both here and there.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

“I'm not a natural killer! See this? See what it says? I'm supposed to keep the peace, I am! If I kill people to do it, I'm reading the wrong manual!”

Compare the courage of Greta Thunberg’s Gaza aid mission with the inaction and complicity of western governments | Owen Jones The Madleen is no ‘selfie yacht’. It is a symbol of human compassion in a world that has decided to look away, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Greta Thunberg and the Madleen offered a heart in a heartless world.

They reminded us that Israel is deliberately starving an entire people - and the West could stop that at any moment.

“Things are different here, sir,” said Carrot. “It wasn’t until ten years ago they replaced trial by ordeal here with trial by lawyer, and that was only because they found that lawyers were nastier.”

Why would I do that to myself? The talk is about other creative projects besides TR.
