Sólo Terry Pratchett era capaz de contarte el cómico funeral (anticipados) de una bruja y termina haciéndote llorar.
De "La Corona de Hielo".

If you weren't alive for the Treacle Mine Road Rebellion, you need to ask yourself what you would do if you were there. #Discworld #HowDoWeRiseUp #WeartheLilac

Also, very late but it's been a long freaking day, salutes to all who wore the lilac. Watch how they rise up and mind how they go. #WearTheLilac #HowDoWeRiseUp #TruthFreedomJusticeREasonablyPricedLoveandaHardBoiledEgg

Happy Glorious 25th of May to all who celebrate.

Art: A drawing of Terry Pratchett having a cup of tea. 4 white mice sit variously in the cup, and on his shoulder and 2 are on top of his black hat. This is based on a famous photo of the author taken after the publication of his YA novel titled The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.

A picture of a lilac in the background with the following text in white on top of it

"He wanted to go home. He wanted it so much that he trembled at the thought. But if the price of that was selling good men to the night, if the price was filling those graves, if the price was not fighting with every trick he knew... then it was too high. It wasn't a decision that he was making, he knew. It was happening far below the areas of the brain that made decisions. It was something built in. There was no universe, anywhere, where a Sam Vimes would give in on this, because if he did then he wouldn't be Sam Vimes any more."

“All the little angels rise up, rise up.
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do they rise up, rise up high?
They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!”

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

The meme of two side by side pictures of Black women. Above the woman on the left, who looks like she’s in the middle of an intense explanation it says:

Me explaining Discworld (especially Night Watch), the Glorious Revolution of the People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road, How the Little Angels Rise Up
The person who asked
High, the World Turning me if I was okay after
Towards Morning, the they saw me crying neal
Glorious 25th of May, &c.:

The woman on the right is sitting down and covered in blankets looking annoyed that she’s been cornered. Above her it says:

The person who asked me if I was okay after they saw me crying near some lilacs

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.

Every year when the lilac blooms I re-read Night Watch.
Every year it shows me another facet of its brilliance.
Every year I get a refresher course on what it is to be human.
