“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.
Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.
These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”
from A Little Advice for Life taken from ‘Terry Pratchett: from birth to death, a writer.’
—Sir Terry Pratchett; April 28, 1948 – March 12, 2015
One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.
Mind how you go.

"don't go grocery shopping when hungry" doesn't work for me because Not Hungry Me cannot conceive of a universe in which food is needed so she buys like a cup of pomegranate seeds and some fancy cheese and thinks that'll get us through the week.

A lil practice in perspective with this piece mostly, so here's Howl and Sophie, who I designed based 50/50 on their book and movie counterparts! I actually would love to revisit this piece and paring in the future, since the book is one of my all time favs

hey, question.
where did all that shit in Miranda’s house come from? The tea cups and the wash basin and the harpsichord and the books. Did Flint get them for her? How much do you think she wanted to break those lovely delicate tea cups? If Flint did get her all these things, how much of it was Flints dream for domesticity and how much of it did she want? How much of his vengeance was hers?
She said she encouraged his rage, but do you think… they just… exchanged expression of their respective emotions. She, acting a grieving widow when in reality she wants to Rip Things Apart Brick By Brick, He, acting a pirate captain, fuelled by hate and rage, when all he wants to do is lie back and weep.
He can’t express sadness can he? She can’t express rage. Gender norms really are a bitch huh.

I’ve said this a million times but if your leftism does not come from a place of genuine compassion for other human beings – if you do not accept that all human life is valuable and there is inherent dignity therein – then it’s less than useless

Nålhus aka needle houses aka needle keepers made with wool fabric, protected by a ceramic case. Stamped patterns with inspiration from plants and nature in general and the geometrical lines somewhat inspired by runes.
🌿
One of these are still in the shop now at nymla.se
