I'm already tired

This is the first I've ever seen this and it makes me wonder if it's why Pratchett was always so conscientious about responding to letters from kids.

If you were wondering: in November 1967, Terry Pratchett was 19 years old.

And he did in fact say on at least one occasion that it was this that pushed him to always engage with his own fans in the same kind and conscientious manner.

my cat is completely obsessed with watching the bathroom sink drain and I have started calling this "her shows." as in when I'm in the bathroom and she meows and runs up I'll be like "oh you want to watch your shows?" and run the faucet for an extra few seconds so it fills a little. she will then sit there at the edge of the sink for ages totally entraptured by the drain. blorbo from her sink

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

posting this on twitter will get you put into witness protection

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

George Takei was so excited to do this shirtless episode. He spent all his free time doing push-ups for a week before they shot this.

“In the end, [Takei] loved his sword-fighting scene so much he held onto the rapier for several hours, poking stage hands with it and engaging in mock duels off the set.” – IMDB’s trivia

So many ruthless/pragmatic characters get revealed as hypocrites when the sacrifice required is personal, and that's why it's really important to me that Stratt does genuinely care about Grace and also it doesn't make her hesitate for a second. That's her friend and she dragged him screaming to the sacrificial altar with clear eyes and no apology and she would do it again. What a woman.

i was going to make my own post about this, but i cannot overstate my love for eva stratt as a character. especially in grace’s story. grace loves earth, they make it so obvious throughout the film and in the book. but stratt loves humanity. she loves them enough that the one time she gets overtly emotional in the film it’s to rebuff grace saying “but i belong in a classroom”. as if it’s about other people and not because he doesn’t want to do it. stratt loves humanity enough that no, it’s not hard for her to send the original crew to their deaths because of the millions it could save. stratt loves grace, but she loves humanity more and is willing to do whatever it takes for a shot at their future. the blood is on her hands so it never has to touch anyone else’s, and not for one second does she hesitate to pull the trigger. no one could ever make me hate her

Look, I get what you're saying, but sometimes you've gotta reach for the low-hanging fruit. Let's get you a proper meal, refill your meds, and unfuck your living space as best we're able; if after that you still want cute girls to kill you with axes, you'll be in a much better physical and mental place to pursue that goal.

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now
