“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.

Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.

These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”

from A Little Advice for Life taken from ‘Terry Pratchett: from birth to death, a writer.’

—Sir Terry Pratchett; April 28, 1948 – March 12, 2015

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.

Mind how you go.

if you live in a colonised country where place names are both in the language of the native people and the language of the colonising country I seriously encourage you to start using the native place names. if it just has the native name (e.g. I know a lot of official place names in the USA come from native american words) I encourage you to learn the proper pronunciation for it. "what if it confuses people because the native name is less well known" then they can ask! or search it up! or you can elaborate! I live in aotearoa or te ika-a-māui. some people call it new zealand, or the north island of nz. I think it's important to acknowledge the original names. it takes very little effort but man it's important.

aotearoa is a great example of this. in recent years, there's been a push to replace english names with the original te reo māori names. more and more you'll see tāmaki makaurau instead of auckland. and people know what I mean when I say tāmaki makaurau! it's on the side of buses! it's on official government websites! my aunt and uncle (50+, white) use the māori names for nearby mountains even though the english names are technically the "official" names! my professors say it when talking about this region! I don't know. try it out. it works.

Just ahead, the long nights return and the northern sky comes alive. It’s the kind of magic you can’t plan, only witness when nature decides to reveal it. And every single time, it feels like the first.
