“They say I'm old-fashioned and live in the past, But sometimes I think progress progresses too fast! They say I'm a fool to oppose things like these, But I will continue to speak for the trees!” - The Lorax

Dear @playpalia.com -- all of my gold for a glider that looks like I'm holding a giant leaf like an umbrella! ❤️ #Palia

I finally started playing #Palia and it’s amazing so far! ❤️

The Lord of the Rings Online is now on Bluesky! Spread the word to your Bluesky friends: officiallotro.bsky.social. #LOTRO

Today is Terry Pratchett's birthday. Even in the darkest times his books have been a safe haven for me. I think, human creativity is closest we can get to making magic ✨ And sir Terry was and always will be a real magician ❤️‍🔥 #GNUTerryPratchett

MMOs are suited for habit and routine; they're designed to encourage us to get into gameplay loops and never, ever leave. But often the best part is when you do wander off the path...

Free stuff! (TL;DR - Use the Coupon Code THANKYOU2025 in the #LOTRO store.) #LOTROfamily

Booksky discourse around this is getting spicy. My opinion as a reader is I don’t give a fuck. I love cozy fiction. The world is a fucking nightmare shitshow. All I want to do these days is consume feel good narrative candy and fucking escape into happy places. That is as VALID a genre as any other

Just finished “Greenteeth” by @mollyoneillwrites.bsky.social and it was enthralling from cover to cover. Lots of teeth, but also so much heart. ❤️ #books #booksky

It only took 40 years but I finally found Loo-kee! 😂 #she-ra #shera #motu

A book on my Libby watchlist just popped up as available, so now I get to read “Greenteeth” this week. 🙂 (PS - I ❤️ libraries!) #books #booksky

My #lotro transfer to Peregrin server finally went through yesterday after 4 days in the queue. All is well with my toons & names. Now for Spring fest! ❤️

Isengard bids five.

#lotrofamily update: Like many, I wasn't able to transfer any of my #LOTRO toons this week. Though, I was able to log onto Peregrin this morning and get most of my names. I did end up losing a few that I've had forever, but I got a couple of really great ones to make up for it. 👍

#LOTRO just announced that the servers are all coming down for a patch tomorrow 9 - 1 EST. However, that (noon) is when we’re supposed be able to transfer to the new servers? Does anyone in the #lotrofamily know if the transfers will be affected?

We lost power here last night, so I’ve spent my day just trying to keep warm and not burn through my phone battery. Thank goodness for books! 📚 ❤️

Just read a wonderful article by @theredtailwitch.bsky.social about my favorite character in my favorite book "The Last Unicorn." It was a much needed reminder that alongside mortality and regret there can also be new beginnings and hope.❤️ reactormag.com/becoming-mol... #books

A lovely Friday night with just me and my pup snuggled up in my house on the edge of the woods by the Salish Sea reading Salt & Broom by @sharonlynnfisher.bsky.social which turned out to be a delightfully charming and spooky twist on one of my favorite classics. ❤️

Go follow Anne and her cozy characters, here and on Patreon. It is exactly what your heart needs. ❤️

Art was taken away from us and we didn’t even notice. Twitter and instagram were once prime places for seeing art until slowly the apps changed and the algorithm took it away and replaced it junk food piles of trash videos on our screens. We wondered why we flailed and despaired.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

My IG is not my professional portfolio. It’s a scrapbook for my art journey. It’s a pressed wildflower bouquet of mismatched colors and memories.

Hey look, it us.

I just want everyone in the world to have safe, comfortable, long lives and never even have to know what war is.

Some Tolkien / LOTR / Hobbit fan art for your Saturday! I tried to infuse this cozy illustration with the lushness that I am feeling all around me as I get to experience springtime in the forest for the first time in years. I am also feeling very hyped for the game Tales of the Shire!

There are terrible, stressful things, but also? Snowdrops exist.

Loss, change, growth, seeing things with new eyes... I'm so grateful that I have art to wrap myself up in.

"Beneath the moon we dance, untamed." Things have been stressful lately and I think I really needed the simplicity of black and white. Sketch, ink, let go.

New handle, same lack of content! (Actually, new art to share soooon.)

Trove alpha was TEN YEARS ago??? (Still grateful I won that rare, alpha key from Belghast.)

This is where I'll be today!

My earnest reply was rewarded, and in the end, they resolved my issue. Very relieved!

I can’t believe that Standing Stone Games isn’t going to help me at all. I got a canned “Sorry we can’t help” email that wasn’t even applicable to my issue. #lotro #lotrofamily

I'm envious of how comfortable my dog is in the car.

It’s a beautiful day here in the PNW and the water is calling. Time to head out to the coast, find somewhere peaceful to sit, and let the wind and waves wash away the stress of the week.
