"Conservatives say they revere property rights above all else, claiming that every other human right stems from the vigorous enforcement of property relations."
" And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is." - Granny Weatherwax from #discworld

If every right stems from property, of course they'd consider people to be things

Years ago I bought an interactive map & guide to Anhk-Morpork, very impressive, with both a map and an aerial view up to the last detail. The app never updated and soon become incompatible, big loss. I dismantled it and recovered the 23766 tiles of 256x256 pixels each that composed the two images. I've been slowly rebuilding the aerial one into a giant 24064 x 16896 px image. Already 3/4 done. I intend to print a great poster for my studio. Detail is insane. #GNUTerryPratchett #DiscWorld

Sometimes the layers of silliness of Discworld stories add up to some quite hilarious paragraphs. 😁

The dark organ music filled the Department of Post-Mortem Communications. Moist assumed it was all part of the ambiance, although the mood would have been more precisely obtained if the tune it was playing did not appear to be "Cantata and Fugue for Someone Who Has Trouble with the Pedals". — Image of text from a book, reading: The dark organ music filled the Department of Post-Mortem Communications.

The Luggage mimic.

I realised recently that Pratchett's Luggage is basically a mimic.

So I merged the ideas and made one.

@RunalongWomble hello I'm good thanks, I hope you are well too. I've been in a bit of a reading slump so to kick start the urge to read again I have been re-reading The Discworld series. I'm currently reading Feet of Clay. The Watch books are probably my favourite set of books in the Discworld series as I love the character and world growth you get with them
