Dr. Anna Latour<p>Sir Terry Pratchett was one of two people who I quoted directly in my dissertation. This line from Feet of Clay was the motto for my introductory chapter:</p><p>"This is where we’ve filled ourselves up with so many questions that they’re starting to overflow and become answers."</p><p>It resonated with me, because this is what doing research often feels like for me.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/PhDLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhDLife</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AcademicMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fiction</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Discworld</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DiscworldQuote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiscworldQuote</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FeetOfClay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FeetOfClay</span></a></p>
Darren<p>I've seen an awful lot of quotes from Terry's various works today, and I can't decide whether to be comforted that he already had humanity mapped out and gently introduced me to it, or kinda depressed that he wrote some of those words 30+ years ago and people aren't really any better. </p><p><a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a></p>
Nori Nuclear<p>oh christ, I've been wondering why Im in just an utterly black mood today.</p><p>Terry Pratchett died 10 years ago today.</p><p>That day I walked to the store, bought a plastic bottle of vodka, and drank most of it while crying at a public park.</p><p>a few days later I got "How do they rise up" tattoo'd on my inner bicep.</p><p>Generally considered a femme place to get a tattoo but I liked it anyways. <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/ThereWereNoSigns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThereWereNoSigns</span></a> </p><p>Its hard to put into words what that man and his Works meant to me. What they still mean to me.</p><p>He taught me "Dont get scared, get angry"</p><p>That "there is no justice. There is just us."</p><p>That revolutions rarely help the people who need help, they usually just swap one ruling body for another.</p><p>That your gender expression is whatever the fuck you want it to be and letting generations of dead people decide otherwise for you is not just stupid but a fate worse than death.</p><p>That sin begins when you treat people as things. Especially yourself.</p><p>That compassion isn't always the same thing as nice.</p><p>That Words In The Heart Cannot Be Taken.</p><p>That no one is truly dead as long as their name is still spoken.</p><p><a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a> </p><p>I will never stop speaking your name.</p>

DokuWiki<p>Ten years ago, Sir Terry Pratchett died. But "A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken."</p><p>We carry his memory with each DokuWiki release being named after one of his many Discworld characters.</p><p>If you never read a book by him - now is a good time to do so!</p><p><a href="https://phpc.social/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a></p>
LemLems<p>The deft &amp; joyful dance with language delighted me.</p><p>As DW found its feet the world &amp; character building drew me in further &amp; taught teen me about life &amp; humanity. In Granny I found the 1st character in whom I felt seen &amp; understood. Through her, Vimes &amp; Susan, but mostly Pterry, my world view &amp; values were reinforced but also honed. I have jokingly said he’s my 3rd parent &amp; it’s less of an exaggeration than you might think.</p><p>I will always <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SpeakHisName" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeakHisName</span></a> &amp; grieve his loss</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNUTerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNUTerryPratchett</span></a></p><p>2/2</p>
