A yellow sticker in the style of the Baden-Württemberg Nett hier campaign. Text in black says "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Ankh-Morpork? Stadt der tausend Überraschungen" (English translation in the post). Below that the seal of the city of Ankh-Morpork, held by two hippos, crowned by a Morpork owl, with cabbages, money bags, the tower of art and the river Ankh. The banner flowing says Quanti Canicula Ille In Finestra (how much is the doggy in the window)
Nice here in the fediverse.
But have you ever been to Ankh-Morpork?
City of a thousand surprises

Cohen the Barbarian, an old, bald Barbarian with an eye patch and a long, wispy white beard, in a tattered cape and skimpy leather Barbarian outfit, holding up a sword in his left hand, while steadying himself on his cane with his right, atop an icy frozen mountain top.

Cohen the Barbarian, an old, bald Barbarian with an eye patch and a long, wispy white beard, in a tattered cape and skimpy leather Barbarian outfit, swinging a sword in his left hand, as he’s running to the viewer atop an icy frozen mountain top. He is surrounded by the rest of his “Silver Horde“, 4 fellow old barbarians, one of whom in a wheelchair sporting Ben Hur style spikes. The background is a snowy mountain landscape.
What're you saying? There's nearly five hundred years of concentrated barbarian hero experience in 'em," said Cohen. "Five hundred years' experience in a fighting unit is good," said Rincewind. "It's good. But it should be spread over more than one person. I mean, what are you expecting them to do? Fall over on people? Terry Pratchett (Interesting Times (Discworld, #17))

"There is no hope but us. There is no mercy but us. There is no justice. There is just us. All things that are, are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist" Sir Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man
The world has fallen apart since this great man died.

Selfie of me. I’m wearing a Cubs world champion blue shirt and two enamel pins. The top one is a purple ribbon with a lilac in front of it. The top of the ribbon says Terry Pratchett. The second pin is two lilacs crossed and pointing in different directions. There’s a banner underneath it that says The Glorious 25th
Ready to do some gardening!

Image is in the style of a postage stamp, depicting a 3p Ankh Morporkian Stamp commemorating the Glorious 25th of May. Amid springs of lilac stands a barricade of chairs, with a figure, presumably Reg Shoe, waving a flag standing atop.

Cover art by Josh Kirby for "Feet of Clay", by Sir Terry Pratchett.
I found Sir Terry in "Feet of Clay" (because I love golems), so here are two quotes from that book which are permanent fixtures in my worldview:
"A lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on."
"A man's not dead while his name is still spoken."

“Of all the dead authors in the world, Terry Pratchett is the most alive,” said John Lloyd at the author’s memorial in 2015. This sentiment remains as true now, 40 years after the publication of Pratchett’s first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic.
