Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

one thing i love and cherish about asoiaf is that the smallfolk are always people first. theyre not presented as shining morally pure victims and theyre not evil and backward. they just. exist. some are kind and some are not, and some drag sansa off her horse and some laugh and give arya soup, and some are meek and some storm the dragonpit. theyre made of exactly the same stuff as the high lords are, all the black and white and grey. the only thing different about them is that theyre on the bottom, crushed by the wheel. the smallfolk dream of rain and healthy children and a summer that never ends, no matter how the high lords play their game of thrones. series thesis statement

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!
Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”
- Sacha Coward
Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero
Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”

“The object we call a book is not the real book, but its potential, like a musical score or seed. It exists fully only in the act of being read; and its real home is inside the head of the reader, where the symphony resounds, the seed germinates. A book is a heart that only beats in the chest of another.”
— Rebecca Solnit
