Work.
My annual tradition for 5th November. #BonfireNight
Tragically unavailable for me.
Work.
Spent the afternoon in the House of Lords with MPs and Peers with a handful of other charities.
The @tolkiensociety.org recognised in the Mother of Parliaments in the national conversation on the voluntary sector. 👍
The next season of Rings of Power looks a little different.
Today's work. Featuring a First Folio.
If the Society takes a position of only doing things we think Tolkien would have wanted/agreed with, we might need to have a bigger conversation about some of the talks and papers at our events and in our publications.
The journey to Middle-earth and understanding J. R. R. Tolkien begins inside Marquette University's archives, which has more than 11,000 pages of drafts for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Just discovered there is a new series of Mrs Brown's Boys this Friday. It genuinely baffled me that a) this show continues to get commissioned and b) people watch it.
I'm very much looking forward to this book! I said to @dimitrafimi.bsky.social recently how I regard it as an essential purchase. 😊
It's the Ring verse, but slightly altered
YES!
Work.
Nice to see Brighton Brick Festival doing its bit by #Tolkien's adaptations! We've got to get some of this at @tolkiensociety.org's #Oxonmoot!
I've always wanted one of these!
As they say, some personal news. www.tolkiensociety.org/2025/06/tolk...
Thank you James!
Congratulations to @shaungunner.bsky.social for his appointment as the @tolkiensociety.org's first CEO!
Congratulations to @shaungunner.bsky.social who is now the longest serving Chair of @tolkiensociety.org in its history!
Thank you!
Thankfully yes! Is it cultural appropriation to claim Tolkien Reading Day for the nation of the USA?
Thing that really bugs me about #TolkienReadingDay: Americans calling it "National Tolkien Reading Day".
Today is #TolkienReadingDay!
Founded by the Society and held on the date the Ring was destroyed, Tolkien Reading Day is an opportunity to read your favourite #Tolkien passages. This year's theme is "Fellowship and Community". But what will you be reading?

Advice to companies: don't use #tolkienreadingday as the date of your big #Tolkien/#LOTR announcement. Everyone tries it and they all just get lost in the noise. Pick a different date when you know you'll be able to command more attention.
It is no exaggeration to say that joining the Society 20 years ago, and being the chair for the last 12 years, has changed my life. You could join, and maybe it'll change yours too.
