Idk if you're already aware, but your blog is marked sensitive and has the pixelated icon

Yeah, a mutual let me know yesterday. I've an appeal out with Tumblr to fix it but they haven't bothered to get back to me yet. Thank you! 😃❤️

Soon, Tumblr as we know it will change… but before that happens, I just want to say…

…

Thanks for the mammaries

For the memes that wouldn’t quit

For agreeing to say “I like your shoelaces” if we ever met

-

Thanks for the bad puns

For the emotional support

And for opening our eyes to things we’d never seen before

-

Thanks for incorrect quotes

For the Mishapocolalypse

For all the OTPs that never quite became canon ships

-

Thanks for “the signs as” lists

For the fanmixes and fanfic

And for how a certain imagine could make us squee or squick

-

Thanks for AO3 feeds

For aesthetics and moodboards

For how “what is air?” worked when we were lost for words

-

Thanks for the headcanons

For shoving breadsticks in your purse

And how we never can forget the phrase “take me to snurch”

-

Thanks for the recipes

For how text posts derailed

For gushing about NaNoWriMo even harder when we failed

-

Thanks for SuprWhoLock

For cross stitch, knitting, and crochet

And for how Obama dropping the mic meant there was nothing more to say

-

Thanks for stories in the tags

For smudged writing on your hand

And for how 3AM drunk posts got many more reblogs than planned

-

Thanks for “beeves” and “snoteleks”

For warning that spoilers lay ahead

For how we’d whisper “just one more post”, but never go to bed

-

Thanks for arrows to the knee

For letting us obsess

And for when we agreed to disagree on the color of that dress

-

Thank you for the Science Side

For spoopy Halloween

For Canada, Australia, and for every place between

-

Thanks for “okay, that sounds fake”

For so much lovely art

And for the way a well-made gifset can truly break a heart

-

Thanks for the cute animal posts

For the cauliflower grandad

For the way that Denny’s posts made us think that they’d gone mad

-

Thanks for “follow forevers”

For every eccentricity and quirk

And for what different people thought of as “not safe for work”

-

Thanks for procrastination

For the celebrities we’d roast

For the loyal mutuals who reblogged every post

-

Thanks for hiatus therapy

For “trying to find them in a crowd”

And for letting us tell the world the things we’d never say aloud

-

So I said “thanks for the mammaries”

But what I really meant to say

Was thanks for all the memories that we’ve made along the way

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.
