Today is the Glorious May 25th 🪻

Vimes strolled over the moss-grown gravel. In the twilight, the lilac blooms seemed to shine. Their scent hung in the air like fog.

He waded through the grass and reached the grave of John Keel, where he sat on the headstone, taking care not to disturb the wreaths; he had a feeling that the sergeant would understand that a copper sometimes needed to take the weight off his feet. And he finished his cigar and stared into the sunset.

Thursday May 25.

The People's Revolution of the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May.

It's May 25th, but it's not just any May 25th. It's a particularly glorious one, after all, as it is The People's Revolution of the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May, as depicted of course in Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld series. It also happens to be Wear the Lilac Day. #gnu terry pratchett—you know what to do, folks.

-

But wait—what is Wear the Lilac Day? you once again enquire.

"Wear the Lilac Day was adopted by Discworld fans the world over as a day to commemorate Terry Pratchett's writing, and following his diagnosis in 2007, to support research into Alzheimer's Disease.

On May 25th, certain members of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, and a few others around the city, wore a sprig of lilac. The 25th of May was the day that they remembered those who fought and fell for hardboiled eggs, truth, justice, and reasonably priced love, who died, and in Reg Shoe's case rose and kept fighting, in the Glorious Revolution of Treacle Mine Road."

Happy May 25th, comrades x

I always get so startled when I hear people talking about Terry Pratchett as a jolly old man and no deeper. I think it's probably because the first two Discworld books I read were Going Postal and Thud! So my first impression of Terry Pratchett (apart from Good Omens) was of a man with a spectacular sense of humor, a strong understanding of how hard and necessary it is to be kind, and a very very deep rage.

So when I went back and started reading the other Discworld books, it was with those three impressions in the back of my head with every book I read. It was so important to me that I could read an author and know that each book was going to contain pretty equal amounts of anger and kindness presented as comedy. My favorite.

But I get angry a lot. And it's important for me to know that even when I'm angry, I can also be kind and funny.

To one thing I have made up my mind: if we find out that Mina must be a vampire in the end, then she shall not go into that unknown and terrible land alone.
