Here’s what you need to know if you spot a suspicious image, video or audio about elections.
Wow that looks so good!
A collection of Silmarillion themed Valentine’s Day Cards 1. A smiling Earendil with “I would love you even if you were a bird! And I a star!” 2. Annatar holding a ring with “I have a gift for you, valentine” 3. Cirdan winking, with “The two of us would make an excellent “ship”” 4. Turin looking nervous, with “Will you be my Valentine? (Please don't turn out to be my sister)" 5. Feanor holding three silmarils, with “You shine (almost) as bright as the silmarils) 6. Beleg with “Love leads me beside you, not wisdom”

I wore my pants backwards for a couple months, had a Walkman, and used an Apple IIc to play Oregon Trail in school.
Just want to be super clear about the Bree Crossroads spaces and platform. I 100% agree with Celebreabird here in this perfectly eloquent write-up she did on Tolkien being for *everyone*. It's worth a read and re-read; hell a bookmark while you're at it. manymeetings.substack.com/p/tolkien-is...

Discouraged (a blue box) and hopeful (a yellow box) The two connected by a bridge, labeled “someone who believes in you”
Everyone feels discouraged sometimes.
But that feeling of discouragement is not a sign that you should give up—it’s a sign that you should ask for support from someone who believes in you!
I really am just trying to model that it's ok to say things.
We should be using our voices and we should not be looking away.
And the more of us that say things, the faster things change.
Austin people, please go to this & let me live vicariously through you.
I still don't share my own thoughts much, I don't feel I have much unique to say that isn't said elsewhere by the experts. I do feel better equipped to share what I have learned with newer fans.
I enjoyed the Reading Room in tORn's discord, especially their open discussions at the end of several chapters. Also TT lives where lots of people would hop on & just see where the convo went.
lets goooo!!! 🔥💪
For my fellow #Tolkien and philology fans, how far back can you understand the English language? I was so excited to start picking our words around 500 AD with a huge jump in comprehension right after the Norse arrived. This is an amazing video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=842O...
Bjork had some great ones! I think my vote is Thriller.

Always gotta wear this sweater that my husband made for me, no matter the temp (78 today), and heedless of the small holes that are finally developing (I'm doing my best to patch them).
I absolutely loved your presentation. And I’ve been reading as many of your blogs as time allows. You art is so beautiful, and the blogs have helped me realize just how carefully considered each element is. Thru he’ll me realize and visualize things I may have forgotten or never considered. Thanks!
I think Hobbits were onto something when they decided adulthood doesn’t start until your 30s
If you have a few dollars for the GoFundMe account of this fellow #Tolkien fan who suffered a serious accident, I am sure it would be appreciated by his family: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
19. And I wrote a check today!
When I was in school, I had those Mao Ding balls (ones that chime when you manipulate them in circles in one hand). My professor told me I couldn’t use them because they made noise. I got a pair of plain marble balls that were quiet, and was still denied their use, because they were “distracting”.
I am mentally eating popcorn and watching this thread with equal parts amusement and excitement
Super cute!
