My personal letter to @senangusking.bsky.social . I urge others who feel similarly to also write, call, and tag to let his office know where you stand. I would prefer socials to be more of a haven from politics, but silence is also complicity.

No. No thank you, Morpheus. I would NOT LIKE to wake up from a dream where I'm about to be 🔪 only to immediately start to nod back off into that same scene -where it left off-

Here for it

#saplingnote Before El can properly say "Nanu" it comes out Na-u (nah-ooo). Which when said rapidly in excitement the hound takes as an invitation to howl. Clearly the right thing the dog tail-wagging happy decided judging by delighted high pitched giggles and clapping from person-pup

Checking Off a #Classic Yet Experienced for Weekend Work-Read #booksky

I realize this is the worst possible time in recent US history for this, but I have exhausted all other options and all the time I have left before I have to be out of my current place. I appreciate the consideration more than I can express.

Get em George! #KlankerSlayer

Went from 🤯to😓 .Received an alert about a comment. (Not phishing!Create for self. I someone enjoys, it's a bonus) It was a copy/paste about someone (allegedly) post AI work. Not that it shouldn't be called out, good on them for doing footwork. But I'm not reporting something unless I see proof.

~*~ Update ~*~ Within Our Seams -Act II : The Pursuit While Theo's team continues searching for a missing comrades,Vaelah + Dilgran's face new potentially deadly complications to a mission already askew. archiveofourown.org/works/443638... #fanfic #ringsofpower #Theo #Bronwyn #Arondir #rop #OC

Didn't realize I had fallen behind on All Creatures... trying to remedy along with other things...am rewarded with Wolfie cameo! Yes. I have issues. But probably not the first thing a therapist would attempt to correct. At least this one's fuzzy? And only sometimes bites?

🥺🥺🥺👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 File this one under great choice to buy the series bundle instead of just testing waters with the first. #booksky

Work Read Hephaestion spends 500 years planning to rescue Alexander from hell. To get to the horrors beyond the gates he must navigate purgatory's cities- crafted by souls across timelines and civilizations carrying all the vices persons and society holds without the ultimatum if death. #booksky

"It is the first day of November, and so, today someone will die." #booksky #reread #tradition

day 31 of #tolkientober "Destruction" Maglor moments after tossing in the last symbol of the oath that led to crumbling and severing of so many things. A history and an act that would also wither him as well. #fanart #sketch #silmarillion #tolkien

I don't know who is target practicing tonight of all nights but they need a shake. We don't get a lot of kids down this stretch, but we get some. I don't care if it's safe into a field, that's a scary thing to hear in daylight let alone coming on dark.

Day 30 of #tolkientober Werewolves Ani: "Come ON Nanu! You gotta at least -growl at me-! Huan wouldn't play with Carcharoth!" In which Lira -really- wants to pretend to be Luthien and her sibs can't say no. El's (Beleg) helping Baur (Mablung) dress up #fanart #saplingnote #sketch

It's that time again #booksky *excite*

The last hospital in Darfur's el-Fasher has been destroyed by paramilitaries — hundreds of patients killed and doctors taken. n.pr/4qBqlF7

day 29 #tolkientober "cultivate" - to further by labor, care, or study + to encourage Cirdan built networks, taught pupils, and created fleets. Would have loved to see him when Elrond was under his wing #doodle #sketch #fanart

Excuse me while I try to catch my breath

#tollkientober day 28: Perseverance #sketch layout If curious,one of the biggest reasons I'm enamored with #Bronwyn is in what we know of her she continues despite circumstances. Let's just say when she meets #Arondir 's father in #saplingnote au, it does not go well. #fanart #rop

Did you really think I'd get through #tolkientober w/o stealing @mgcoco.bsky.social 's #Arwen? Day 27 Libraries headcanon: Arwen liked it Elrond asked #Erestor to mind her. He trusted her in his private library -NOT bros- and told great stories! He wasn't a stuffy curmudgeon! #fanart #sketch

#Tolkientober Day 27: Thorin 💎⛰️ Fine liners and ink washing. #tolkientober #inktober #thorin #thorinoakenshield #thehobbit #inks #traditionalart

....DRATS. I thought tomorrow's #tolkientober prompt was Resilience....darn it... there goes my idea. Yeah Perseverance isn't -so- different but enough 😭

Arondir and the Commander of the Northern Armies

"Where am I, and what is the time?" he said aloud to the ceiling. "In the House of Elrond, and it is ten o'clock in the morning." said a voice. "It is the morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know." #Tolkien #BookSky Image: "Rivendell - The Riders" by @donatoarts.bsky.social

Day 24 of #tolkientober "Monuments" - #uinen statuary being one of #earien 's art studies. Didn't have access to show-canon sculpture when I had time to do that part. 😥 #fanart #numenor #ringsofpower #rop #tolkien

Hold up. So the day I'm at my workplace for a fundraiser I get a WiFi signal in less than an hour. But if there's been a day between work shifts it won't connect for three at the least usually five-seven?!!? 🧐

#tolkientober is the 'birthday' of my beloved Ashfield.How could I not use the "horses" prompt to bring him back? With him is an attempt at a fixture of my #saplingnote /Seams Vaelah- one of Bronwyn's students whom she protected when they were briefly captive when migrating #fanart #ringsofpower

Just doing my usual stretching a prompt to self indulge day 22 of #tolkientober "Spirit"(ed) - personal energy/drive and...well... #Beleg and #Huan on or just bonding before the Night of the hunt... because I luff my boys. #fanart #tolkien #silmarillion #sketch
