The hater becomes a waiter at the table of success

Home sick tonight so it’s just the two of us wandering around the house going HAPPY NEW YEAR DARLING 🍾

december vis update: you know what maybe it’s time to retire

I really do miss when fan fic was something you discussed among trusted, likeminded friends and mainstream media was not aware of it.

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

Love and light to the person who just accused me of having never read the silmarillion in tumblr tags💙😌 I wish!!!!!

The government is accepting public comment on 2 proposed rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans. These comments will be supportive of legal challenges aimed at blocking the new rules. Submit a public comment on the regime's new attacks on trans youth.

Spread it around. Let’s Streisand Effect Bari Weiss into oblivion.

the best way i can explain the difference between baseball and american football to you is that baseball is the ballmarillion whereas football is more of a song of ball and fire. baseball is poetic, it has deep lore, tragedy. football is exciting and it’s about killing a guy on national television

6 years ago, a federal ban on gender-affirming care for young people was absent from the national Dem agenda, seemed unlikely to almost everyone who isn’t trans. 6 years ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was a QAnon crank with a crossfit gym. Yesterday her ban passed out of the House with three Dem votes.

This is a harrowing account of city under siege www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

never not thinking about the lioness devouring a boy

Color of the Year, but make it Silmarillion themed

Legitimately considering putting this in a locket and wearing it for the rest of my life

Excited to report that the Tolkien calendar illustration for December 2026 will be “Surely that is a Silmaril that shines now in the West?” — or as I like to call it, “you’re my present this year :)”

December the 7th: Aegnor x Andreth Where is the candle? #tolkien #silmarillion #athrabethfinrodahandreth #jrrtolkien #andreth #andrethsaelind #aegnor #ambarato #aikanaro #aegnorxandreth #silmart #tolkienart #tolkienfanart #silmfanart #fantasy #elves

May I recommend aipilosse's "In a Strange Land," which explores that, with a surviving member of the Mirdain sailing west and living in Eressea. Also featuring Pengolodh as the other main character, and I do love me some Penny.

Alas.

last night my daughter asked whether there were negative letters, like negative numbers. what a good fuckin question

Nobody involved in this should draw a free breath for the rest of their lives

Idk how this app works but I just want to show my art to more ppl! Here is Melian from the Silmarillion (Tolkien)

Funny doodle which I'm gonna turn into a sticker maybe🤣 hopefully this artwork will find it's niche😅🥹 #MyArt #Pokémon #Fanart #Psyduck #Enton #Elrond

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season! Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas! #WeFeedYou #Thanksgiving

Not going to read too much into it, obviously Trump is the worst man alive, and is going to revert to saying the most odious shit imaginable in like an hour, but it's funny that this is coming a couple hours after 90 democrat losers voted to say "socialism is bad" for no reason.

[Welcome to the soldier side, Where there's no one here but me]

Hilarious of me to decide to run a fandom event when i have so very many IRL obligations both mandatory and voluntary and am also contending with Once Again, Silm Burnout. HUBRIS!!!!!!

Someday I'll come up with an OC for Elf Chomsky. In the meantime, have some Optimality Theory in Aman: archiveofourown.org/works/279233...

Ok i know i say a lot of songs from Bruce springsteen’s nebraska are about elves but this one. This one really is. And I haven’t heard this version before and it is more than usual m.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ik...

i am extremely proud to announcement my partnership with lina khan and zohran mamdani about pghrt.diy to distribute transition healthcare supplies to all new yorkers. we are committed to the day-one mission of "transgender for everybody", including everyone outside of new york as well.

BING BONG BABY

Waking up to the news that a member of the Bush administration has died rather than see a Muslim elected Mayor of New York

setting a 72-hour timer. this is the NYC LIB OUT ZONE. everyone gets a free pass for expressing enthusiasm for electoral politics in this carefully delineated window. post about the power of voting!!! cry over a schmaltzy campaign video!!!! allow a brief flutter of hope in ur rotted soul!!!!

oh god i am the stupidest man alive (civilian attempting to get home from uptown after the marathon)

Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago. He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

tolkien was a person, like any other. and assigning him to one "side" of the political spectrum or the other will never get to the heart of why fascists are drawn to his work. it's not co-opting when the framework is there. put your attachment to middle-earth aside and fight fascism in all forms.

Here we go, NYC... hellgatenyc.com/ice-storms-c...

talking about Beren and Lúthien next time on @bythebywater.bsky.social (and since it’s October I drew their scary forms)

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I call it “joyful rigor” when I explain this effort to my students. I don’t believe in or rather, I’m not a “suffering poet.” I’m a writer who enjoys writing. The work works on me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into the process at my own pace and to be changed by it.

A very good explainer on some NYC ballot props. Thanks, @hellgatenyc.com hellgatenyc.com/nyc-housing-...
