The Glorious 25th: “Truth! Freedom! Justice! And a hard-boiled egg!” ~Sir Terry Pratchett, NIGHT WATCH #GNUTERRYPRATCHETT, #THEGLORIOUS25th,

GNU Terry Pratchett #theglorious25th #discworld

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.

Spent most of the day driving so almost forgot the date. Wear the lilac with pride #theglorious25th #gnuterrypratchett

A painting of a glass of water with several very purple lilac spines in it. Around the edge, it says “we who think we are about to die will laugh at anything”

How do they rise up….

On this, the glorious 25th of may, here’s hoping you find truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg.

Drawing of sprig of lilac emblazoned with the words "The glorious 25th of May. Truth. Justice. Freedom. Reasonably priced love and a hard boiled egg.

Happy #TheGlorious25th to those who commemorate those lost in the most cuttingly clever take on socialist revolution ever committed to the page, disguised as a silly little comedy fantasy by Terry Pratchett - Night Watch. Every year, it hits a little deeper. It's absolute genius.

Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

Also, you have to know where your towel is.

What a nerdy day.

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.

Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch with a glorious take on the Rembrandt painting on the cover, by @paulkidby

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.

#discworld #theglorious25th #andahardboiledegg How they do rise up… xxx

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

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.

How do they rise up? #Theglorious25th #STP #speakhisname #Discworld

A rolled up lilac towel is being held up to the camera. [pssst, that 'near, not far' part is a Grover from Sesame Street (aka the greatest television show ever made] reference. That near/far routine cracked me up as a kid and still does 4 decades later]

I have my lilac towel near, not far.

Rise up,
be thankful for the fish
and Happy Birthday, Frank Oz!

Happy #TheGlorious25th to the weekend crowd!
We released our Pyramids ep this week. Looking ahead most eps don't seem to hit significant dates for that book (in fact we're likely to do Hogfather when it's summer for us).

Sam Vimes standing with his son, young Sam, in his arms. He is wearing his city watch uniform, young Sam is about primary school age and is wearing shorts and suspenders. A shadow of a lilac tree is falling on then, young Sam is reaching up to pluck a flower, he is smiling. Vines looks wistful and already has a lilac pined to the front of his breastplate It is painted in watercolours

25th of May, a day to remember the past and look forward to the future.
The day of the glorious revolution and also young Sam’s birthday

A metal pin depicting two crossed lilac blooms (one pale lilac, one dark) with a purple scroll around the bottom with the words THE GLORIOUS 25TH written on it is resting on a top crocheted in shades of lilac and being held up by a hand with nails painted in lilac coloured polish.

There is only one flower I can share for #TheSmallThings #SpreadingJoy today and that’s lilac!
