    This is horrifying. My father would most definitely not be a GC if he was still alive. Read. The. Books.
    I note that having not got over Atwood's betrayal, the GCs are trying to recruit Terry Practhett posthumously presumably because they know he can't contradict them.

    This is in many ways a typical Pratchett photo - Mum is holding a cat, I’m trying to pretend it’s not happening and Dad has boomerang sticking out of his head. Come back, Dad. The world needs you. 7 years is long enough. ❤️ ⁦@terryandrob#GNUTerryPratchett #SpeakHisName

    8 years of missing you. This photo makes me laugh because it’s so un-Pratchetty. We’re looking in the same direction & there’s hugging (ish.) It’s the kind of pic that, in a movie, one or other of us would look at wistfully before tooling up to go rescue the other #speakhisname

    Dad didn’t make the list either. This really isn’t bias.
    JK Rowling — the greatest writer of her generation and one of the most successful women in modern history — has been excluded from the BBC’s Platinum Jubilee 70 Greatest Reads. They aren’t even trying to hide their bias.

    We decided to treat ourselves to afternoon tea at the Ritz afterwards (extremely fancy and unprecedented for the Pratchetts) and my father got mistaken for a waiter. He was delighted.

    Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

    Just found dad’s school report aged 12. Top positions in English, history, religious knowledge (surprising but then he did go on to write Small Gods) and metal work. Bottom in maths and French. PE ‘Tries hard’ which is truly as athletically skilled as Pratchetts ever get.

    Okay do I go and introduce myself to the lady on the train who was talking very enthusiastically about my dad and his work?

    To the fathers. Wherever they may be. Raise a glass and take them onward in your adventures. Mind how you go.

    Happy birthday to my late Gnome-on-a-swing father. Banananana daiquiris will be drunk in your name tonight. #TerryPratchettDay #Speakhisname

    Dad… it’s been 9 years. In our family collection of blurry, squinty and poorly composed photos around the world, I found this - a typical Pratchett shot since we are 1)Not looking at the camera 2)focused on food and 3) embracing hat wearing. The trifecta. Miss you always. ❤️

    Even when attending a wedding (circa 1990) Pratchetts will always look slightly scruffy. Not my colour, not his suit, but we’re both looking at the camera. Albeit in a slightly bemused way. He would’ve been 76 today. GNU Dad. Happy Birthday. #Speakhisname #TerryPratchettDay ❤️

    Happy birthday, Dad. Time to come back now, it’s all gone a bit rubbish without you. ❤️❤️❤️
