Rincewind's in love.....
....And so is the Luggage đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

@bookstodon

"‘Not you, too?’ he said. Possibly it was only the play of sunlight on the Luggage’s battered lid, but it was just possible that for an instant it looked redder than usual. Of course, sapient pearwood has this sort of weird mental link with its owner . . . Rincewind shook his head. Still, it’d explain why the thing wasn’t its normal malignant self. ‘It’d never work,’ he said. ‘I mean, she’s a female and you’re a, well, you’re a—’ He paused. ‘Well, whatever you are, you’re of the wooden persuasion. It’d never work. People would talk.’" 2/2--from Sourcery by Terry Pratchett.

Headology:

“That’s right,” said Granny. “It’s called headology.” She tapped her silver hair, which was drawn into a tight bun that could crack rocks.

A local right wing asshat has threatened to “lose respect” for me, and warned that “you don’t want to experience that.” He is upset that I shared data showing US citizens commit far more violent crime (absolutely and per capita) than undocumented immigrants.
