Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Vimes has always been one of my favorite characters in all media lol
Plowed all 41 books last year. Damn. Sometimes I'd have to put the book down and think on a thing or two. There were also a couple of times I had to put one down because I couldn't stop laughing.

How could a single mind contain so much?!
He was on a lot of issues waaay before the zeitgeist caught up with him. He has a whole book on trans rights in a world with codified gender norms (Monstrous Regiment) published in 2003, years before that was on anyone's radar.
It's because of him (and others) this is on the radar at all.
And you have Corporal Littlebottom in 1989
