He was the best boy.

I try to keep it fandom related around here but here's what's happening in my city.

I have no friends

Annual summer teacher training. This is how we do it around here.

www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... lil reminder that I teach kindergartners at a school where 75% qualify for free lunch & 70% speak exclusively Spanish at home & 100% love to learn. Please share with anyone looking to donate to a real classroom and thank you! It's mostly books.

Just a heads up to all you #niatowle stans that the IG account with her name isn't her. Also, she's probably dreaming of Númenor and that indoor plumbing.

Sometimes I have other interests. #euro2025

Share it with your rich friends: My kindergarten classroom wish list for a bunch of amazing multilingual learners trying their best in a country that increasingly tells them that they don't matter. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Outing myself as an educator in this school district--I'm proud to work in a place that's prepared to go to the (un)Supreme Court to ensure children receive an inclusive public education. Not sorry if your kid accidentally finds out gay people exist. This decision is bullshit.

🚨New drone photos! I have a feeling these are for Andúnië

The Rings of Power has been nominated for an Astra Award in the Best Cast Ensemble in Streaming Drama Series category! #TheRingsofPower #AstraTVAwards

Look how I was greeted this morning.

Isildur 🌊 #theringsofpower

I mean, if I take out Indiana Jones too.

I enjoy scrolling the Temu for classroom junk. We did a unit on Van Gogh and I ran across this little number 😂 (did not purchase but...)

Truly he is risen... to the big leagues

Just letting everyone know that #autism did not destroy my family. That is all.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

He was in fact denied entry to CECOT prison and has not been given any proof of life for Kilmar. Maybe he'd just asked to do a quick glamour shot, they would let him in.

Happy birthday to our dad (who is always trying his best)

Oh hello my precious

A weekend away...

@bearmccreary.bsky.social @primevideo.bsky.social if you guys are not aware there's a show going around where they used some of Bear McCreary compositions did whatever they wanted and they are advertising it as "music of the rings of power" where they claimed they'd bring an actor/actress from (+)

To celebrate my birthday today as well as 500 lovely followers I'm holding my first #ArtRaffle ! Winner gets 1 free commission of their choice (see ko-fi in bio) for 1 character. ❤️ Rules: ⊹ Follow, Like & Repost. ⊹ Optional: Show me an OC of yours in the replies! ⊹ Ends: March 15th.

I am once again feeling very Normal about Tolkien's Númenórean carpet border being used to decorate this boat.

These are 🔥🔥🔥 I love them so much!

Happy birthday, kiddo. Joey is 3 😸

When I get a spare €100...

Gorgeous #Roman glass cups decorated with colourful enamel-painted animals from the Roman arena, AD 200s. Found in richly-furnished ‘princely’ graves in Denmark, where they are known as ‘circus beakers’. National Museum of Denmark. 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Good morning, captain

With a description of the scenery, for the use of tourists and residents.

Tickets booked. Headed to the UK for a week in March. Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cumbria. 😁

Not me flying across the Atlantic Ocean to go see the future Queen of Gondor on stage... 😱😁

(not Tolkien related) Here's some shit. Just got off a meeting about how the school district I work in is, among other things, distributing these cards to parents and caregivers tomorrow, just to "be prepared."

Update: silly stupid expensive thing is prob def happening. Details forthwith.

This doofus.

US Capitol building tonight to pay respects to President Jimmy Carter as he lies in state in the rotunda.

Stop in and warm up with some hot chocolate! #metalbird

I might be about to do something really silly and stupid and expensive and it is the fault of The Rings of Power and prob all y'all too. But we'll see.

I wrote this. Elendur of Númenor, plus Isildur/Estrid, and some Eärien drama just for funsies. archiveofourown.org/works/618920...

Happy New Year! Now, into the soup.
