Fun fact: "Night Watch" by GNU Terry Pratchett is a new Penguin Classic.
And while it may be past the 25th of May, I hope your lilac still blooms.
And if you don't understand why the quote post matches the quoted post, then it's past time for you to read the book
#howDoTheyRiseUp
Humorous quote by Terry Pratchett: "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
Happy #Glorious25thOfMay to all who celebrate!

Two branches of a lilac in profuse bloom, not a common lilac but one with smaller flowers and deeply veined leaves.
Late lilac, Syringa villosa, blooming today in someone else’s garden, just in time for the Glorious 25th! How do they rise up #lilacs #Glorious25thOfMay #HowDoTheyRiseUp #gnuTerryPratchett
Me (a cute, cuddly black and white cat) on a lawn with a paperback copy of 'Night Watch' by Terry Pratchett.
I can't wear the lilac. I wasn't there.
But I've read the history books.

Page 49 of the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. Most of the text is covered by a postcard featuring Sir Terry Pratchett (left) facing Discworld's Death over a chessboard. Across the bottom of the black and white postcard is some text: "DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING," said Death. "JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH." The text beneath the bottom of the postcard reads Yes, thought Vimes. That's the way it was. Privilege, which just means private law. Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it. Well, it's not like that now--

Cluster of purple lilacs blooming against green leaves and grey sky
First time I've been where lilacs are blooming on The Glorious 25th of May, and it just so happens that today I'm seeing them EVERYWHERE. #Discworld #HowDoTheyRiseUp
Hi #BookSky 💙📚
I've started re-reading Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
#HowDoTheyRiseUp #Glorious25thOfMay #GNUTerryPratchett
Close up of a branch full of purplish blue flowers, which grow in small dense clusters, surrounded by green leaves. Towards the top of the picture a couple of bees are crawling over the flowers.
Happy #TheGlorious25th folks! #HowDoTheyRiseUp Some great lilac pics on the feed and hashtag.
We don't have any lilac in our garden at the moment, closest is this tree with blue flowers I've forgotten the name of, but the bees are loving it.

Thanks to @kizzia.bsky.social for the reminder. It’s #TheGlorious25th when we #WearTheLilac and and sing #HowDoTheyRiseUp.
Here we go with my first re-read of Night Watch.
Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably Priced Love! And a Hard-Boiled Egg!
Happy Glorious 25th to all who celebrate 💜 #WearTheLilac #HowDoTheyRiseUp #Glorious25th #GNUTerryPratchett #Discworld
You wouldn't believe some of the ways they rise up. #Glorious25thofMay #HowDoTheyRiseUp
The glorious 25th again. Remember that the things you do can make a difference, that defeat and victory are both temporary, and that you owe it to yourself and others to take comfort and a hard boiled egg where you can find them. #HowDoTheyRiseUp #Glorious25thOfMay
A close up of fully open pale lilac flowers with vibrant green leaves surrounding them.
My bag, with the woven straps - pin badges commemorating Terry with lilacs on the left one, and the glorious 25th with lilacs on the right one - resting against a wood table with a cup bearing the Black Sheep Coffee logo on it.
It’s #TheGlorious25th when we #WearTheLilac and and sing #HowDoTheyRiseUp. Here are lilacs and proof both that I am wearing some and at the start of a fun day out in Oxford with @catthegeek.bsky.social Hope everyone else has a glorious Sunday too! #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy #GNUTerryPratchett
Happy Glorious 25th for those who celebrate. "Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!"
