My favorite picture of Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett, wearing a black fedora and black clothes, sitting on a white metal bench in the middle of a lush green meadow.

Next to him stands calmly a magnificently calico-colored kunekune pig. In his own human hands is a huge bottle of wine the size of his torso. On the bench beside him is a small stack of his own books.

Man and pig both gaze optimistically into the future.

Discworld QOTD, from Carpe Jugulum
“Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that - “

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes -“

“But they starts with thinking about people as things…”

I think about this post a lot
Tumblr post by stimmyabby

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

Sometimes people ask me "How do I find a publisher?" I usually hand out a bunch of links to resources that will help, but in the past few years my favorite page about how to write a synopsis is gone so I wrote one as a public post Caution: it might be weird compared to other ways

Years ago, a therapist told me that telling other people they can’t cross your boundaries is self-defense; drawing your boundaries in *someone else’s space* is aggression. I think about that a lot.
