Micah @rincewind.run · 25/12/2025a very happy Falling Angel/Rising Ape day to you all for my money the single best passage in all of Discworld, and one of the finest passages in the history of literature 1782647
SonomaLass Have you called your senators today? ⚾ 🍺 🌮 @sonomalass.bsky.social · 25/12/2025The best. Thanks. 000
joel hanes @joelhanes.bsky.social · 25/12/2025The dragon in John Gardner's amazing novel Grendel has much the same outlook, and expresses it eloquently. Recommended. 010
Laurian @laurianw.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Your Discworld posts just might be the best thing on BlueSky. Thanks 000
Ben Schulz @benschulz.bsky.social · 26/12/2025So good 🥰 I remember being stopped dead in my tracks when I first read this passage 000
cassie @dagmar27.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I love that passage. I agree that it's one of the best ever written. 060
AstronoHarry 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 @astronoharry.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Hogfather gave me an ability to get something out of the season again after I lost my original frame of reference. 050

Micah @rincewind.run · 25/12/2025yes Discworld made me a better person and those three quotes get to the core of it - a sort of outraged decency from a man angry at the state of the world and the cruelty therein who also knew what we were capable of at our bestWill Code For Pizza@markshatraw.bsky.socialThis, the Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness, and the "treating people as things" passage are the basis of really good politics, I think 959356
Michael @thecorvallisbirder.bsky.social · 25/12/2025💯. I think if any passage encapsulates his work, it is this one above all others. (Although Vetinari's monologue to Ridcully and the Dean in Unseen Academicals is a close second for me) 140
