The household god to whom we sacrifice undrunk hot beverages may have become dangerously powerful as more tea-leavers work remotely.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the sound track to #SmallGods is incredible.
Also I feel like there is a folk horror element to it @raynewman.bsky.social, even if you don't watch a lot of telly.
Terry Pratchett taught me everything I know about how horrible humans can be, and he was spot-on, every time

I'm struggling to decide which idea to pitch for a #Discworld con; too many choices! Discworld & vernacular theory? The #SmallGods of the Internet? #SeamstressesGuild & the #decriminalisation of sex work? Or go out on a limb and develop my thoughts about Tiffany, #MaoMao & the "sin of ignorance"??

Death paused. YOU HAVE PERHAPS HEARD THE PHRASE, he said, THAT HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE?
‘Yes. Yes, of course.’
Death nodded. IN TIME, he said, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS WRONG.

A hand is facing upwards and a tiny blackish baby turtle with a cracked open, off white egg, semi-attached is sitting on 3 of the hand's fingers. There is a gray wall in the background.
So, the world is on fire, but I rescued a turtle about 4 months ago, a while later she laid 3 eggs, 2 didn't make it, one I 'buried', and today... Please meet A'Tuin's baby: 'Om'. #TerryPratchett #DiscWorld #SmallGods
Gods didn’t mind atheists, if they were deep, hot, fiery atheists like Simony, who spend their whole life not believing, spend their whole life hating gods for not existing. That sort of atheism was a rock. It was nearly belief…

Our Terry Pratchett Discworld snippet of this particular day, because people throwing stones are always very sure.
Particularly of the fact that it's not them being hit.

“Probably the last man who knew how it worked had been tortured to death years before. Or as soon as it was installed. Killing the creator was a traditional method of patent protection.”

Seishirou Sakurazuka holding his sunglasses. The text is a quote from Small Gods from the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett. It goes: "Not a man to mince words. People, yes. But not words"

“I like the idea of democracy. You have to have someone everyone distrusts," said Brutha. "That way, everyone's happy.”

“Vorbis?” croaked Brutha.
“What?” snapped the deacon.
“You’re going to die.”

“You never heard Om,” said Brutha. “You never believed. You never, ever heard his voice. All you heard were the echoes inside your own mind.”

Don’t put your faith in gods. But you can believe in turtles.

“Om began to feel the acute depression that steals over every realist in the presence of an optimist.”

The shots of the Olympians watching the Argonauts reminds me of certain passages in Terry Pratchett's #SmallGods, much of which is set in the Discworld equivalent of Classical Greece

Speaking of small gods - shout out to sergeant Simony - absolute tit of a man and philosopher botherer.

Listened to Andy Serkis' audiobook narration of small gods, which is an absolute good time. But my only gripe is his voice for Vorbis, which sounds like Kenneth Williams if he was billed to play Darth Vader #discworld
