Good omens fans- this is a psa!!

So one of the writers of GO is Neil Gaiman. Who, of course, did an excellent job and deserves all the credit he gets. But you know who cowrote Good Omens?

Terry Pratchett.

And you know what else Terry Pratchett wrote?

Discworld!!

This is your sign to read discworld- a comedy fantasy series of 41 separate but interconnected books about everything from a wizard who can’t do magic to the invention if steam trains. If this interests you, read on!

Why you should read Discworld:

It has lots of the best bits of Good Omens. Like the footnotes? Discworld has plenty of those. Like the puns? It’s got those, too. Like the vivid, unique, compelling characters with plenty of room for fanfic? Yep, we have so many of those.

It has loads of content. 41 books! But don’t let that dissuade you, because there are separate storylines and standalone books that you can read without touching the others. You could read them all, too, if you’d like !

The books deal with big matters while staying lighthearted. Case in point: there’s a book about Death dressing up as Santa which deals with what it means to be human.

There’s something for everyone. Some of the books really feel like fantasy (coven of witches stops twisted cinderella story, guards save city from raging dragon), some feel like wacky adventures (invention of the movie industry goes Horribly Wrong, cat runs pied piper scam) and some barely feel like fantasy at all (girl dresses up as a boy to go to war, turns out she’s not the only one; ex-conman must revive postal service) but all of them have wonderful plots.

The prose is vivid and the dialogue is great, plus of course there’s the humour!

If this appeals to you, here’s a flowchart that might help you figure out where to start.

Happy reading!

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   

The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.

MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

please PLEASE reblog. Syria and Turkiye need our help!!!

hello!! so me and @commsroom are going forward with organizing a project for the 10th anniversary of wolf 359 this year. the basic idea is putting together an anthology of fanworks--both new and old fanworks can be submitted. separate from the anthology will be a kind of 'thank you' card for the cast and crew to express that the show matters to people. as this part will be seen directly by members of the cast and crew, the thank you project will be curated apart from the anthology. you can submit things for both.

a more formal interest check has been put together, so please take a moment to fill it out and let us know your thoughts! and rbs to spread the word will be very appreciated, thank you 💕💕!!
