== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies, I hope your Monday started your week off well <3 As I'm sitting here typing this I have my son asleep under one arm, so I apologize if this is a bit scattered. I saw this infographic today and it made me think of you all. I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of my life thinking I had to do everything, excel at everything, have all the money, and the car, and the house, and the kids, etc. But you know what? Life isn't about having everything. It's about finding the things you love and matter most to you and focusing on them. The things that matter most to me will absolutely be different from everyone else (we may share some of the same) but no two people are exactly the same when it comes to interests, and thats beautiful. Dig deep into the things you love crew, and remember you don't have to feel any shame for the things that mean the most to you. Do you like video games? Or Ornithology? How about fanfiction? Or maybe Indy 500 races? Do you find joy when you're alone in the woods? Or sitting out with friends at a bar? Do you enjoy being alone? Or maybe you love to sing your heart out at karaoke? Whatever it is you love-- embrace it, whether it's "Weird" by someone else's standards or not. If it makes you smile, if it makes you enjoy your time on this little blue dot-- dive in lovelies, with no regrets. I so very hope that even if it's only little bits at a time this week you get to spend doing the things you love, whatever that may be. Rest well and drink some water tonight <3 Love you crew

I remember, during the last federal election in the USA, when a US-based friend complemented me on how engaged I was in an election that didn't affect me. And until that point I'd thought it was common knowledge in the USA that they had military bases absolutely all over the world, and that there were many ways their internal politics impact other countries.

This article is a few years old now, but gives a good brief rundown on the spread of US military bases specifically internationally -

The whole article is worth a flick through, but in short - there's (at least) 750 or so US military bases in other countries, and there may be more the Pentagon hasn't openly identified. Japan has the most US military facilities at 120 active bases, with Germany number 2 at 119.

There's not really an end point to this. To bring it back to Good Omens briefly, I never questioned the US air base in the UK when I read the book or watched the show, and hadn't until now clicked that its obviousness was not apparent to others. I guess I want it to be an opportunity to think a bit deeper about the possibility of things like, say, international military operations and their effect on their host (allied) countries. I blathered on about an example of such an impact in Australia, then stuck it under the cut so you didn't have to slog through it unless you were keen.

~~~

Sometimes, these bases have direct political consequences in their host countries. One of the Australian bases, Pine Gap (a facility controlled by Australia and the USA), is used in global surveillance. In the 1970s our then-Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, considered closing the base as part of a larger move away from being entirely beholden to the UK and the USA. The CIA and MI6 worked together until the Govener-General (the UK monarch's official representative over the Australian Government) dismissed Gough Whitlam and appointed the opposition party's leader as our new PM. The dismissal, on the 11th of November 1975, was the last day of parliment for the year, and was the day that Whitlam was to brief the Australian Parliment on the secret CIA presence in Australia. A lot of the information available on Pine Gap was either disclosed during WikiLeaks, or came out after decades of petitioning under freedom of information acts by journalists.

Hello, Mr Gaiman,

I’m watching Good Omens Season 1 with my mum (in hopes to get her to watch Season 2 with me) and she pointed out to me that there is a U.S airbase in the UK.

Is that a normal thing or is there a particular reason Armageddon was set in an American airbase despite the fact they’re in the UK?

At the time we wrote the book there were a lot of US airbases in the UK.

Now there are only about half a dozen.

the post about Edwin's clothes was very interesting to read!! loved the framing and info :D

can you make the one about Charles' wardrobe??

I am so so happy you liked it! It was also so interesting to put together!

Definitely will, working on one right now! It just takes me some time to put everything together and lay it out somewhat accordingly.

Maybe you’ve seen it already, but I did one just about Charles’ pins and buttons and patches.

I did ask Kelli Dunsmore (costume designer) for some help with them and she gladly answered, so I can say that at least the info there should match with him!!

Thank you again! It takes a long time to put these infographics together, because I could just do a normal post with photos here and save hours of work, but it’s so gratifying to know that there are people out there who like these slides!!

There are several storylines in Discworld, and yet each book (after The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic, maybe get TLF before you finish CoM btw) works as a standalone novel. Which is my favorite type of big series. The first Discworld book I ever read as a kid was actually Wintersmith, not even the first Tiffany Aching book but still so good it got me into all of Discworld and Terry Pratchett's writing. I love Color of Magic but not everyone does. There's a bunch of "Discworld reading order" type of infographics if you wanna look that up, which show the different series-within-the-series. Since you like Good Omens I bet you'll be into the witches books (the witch stuff in GO felt the Most Terry to me), and the Death books, probably Small Gods too.

Can a Terry Pratchett fan answer a question for me? Is the Discworld series completed? By this I mean, I know it isn't a series but rather a set of stories in a universe but when I get to the last book, am I going to be left in a place where I feel okay? Or does it leave off feeling unfinished? I got the Color of Magic for my birthday, and it feels like owning a brick of solid gold. I know I'm going to love it, if my love of Good Omens is anything to go by. And I already know I'm going to be sad when I reach the end of the series but I'd like to know now if I should prepare myself for a different sort of good cry when it's over.
