In which @tolkienpop.substack.com kindly let me ramble about how feminism and disability theory impact my work on Tolkien (and my outlook on life!)

FFT AND A POWERWASH SIM 2 DEMO? i sure am glad i dont like my job cause i'm not getting FUCKALL done today

i dont know if a dead ccg with a truly mediocre online play client is REALLY any easier to sell when people are mad at magic, but i sure am gonna try. (no hate, l5r nerds, but sun and moon is kinda a piece of shit, we need an online play platform badly)

We love Tracy!!! (hire Tracy for your editing projects!)

This was my first full edit for an episode of AthraPlay! I'm really happy with how it turned out!

NEW ATHRAPLAY GO LISTEN YOU NERDS #lotr

hard to understate how much Morgoth's Ring means to me. the athrabeth is what drew me into tolkien scholarship and theres almost no part of this volume that i dont find incredibly fascinating and valuable.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Am I autistic or did I take too much Tylenol????? I’ll fight either way

Spencer Torkelson is an actual name of an actual person who plays for the Detroit tigers

You know it’s Fall when I start picking fights with @aaron.compleatdiscography.page over turkey preparation methods

BAJA BLAST PIE COMING TO TACO BELL IN NOVEMBER

I think the most annoying part of this is that if you’re asking people to vote for constituents who aren’t fighting for their livelihood- hell, their HUMANITY, then you’re literally just asking people to vote to keep you in your position of power for your own self interest.

And thus the world learned of Fëanor, greatest smith of elven kind, and also its biggest butthead, and said unto him…

ya ever think about long eggs? no? just me?

i cant put into words the wild places this books illustrations sent my youthful imagination

Back from Oxonmoot and digesting everything I've read, heard, and learned and had to revisit Lee's article, especially after having finally finished reading the whole of Lord of the Rings. @mollyostertag.bsky.social www.polygon.com/lord-of-the-...

I don’t know if it’s me specifically or Cleveland generally that United hates but I’d love to not hike to the far ass end of whatever airport I’m in every single time I’m flying

Would have loved to hear the pitch to bring enshittification into your real world life. “Imagine if every moment of real life sucked as much as Facebook”

Nionwe: “what do you mean I can’t boo the fool dressing up as Elrond?!??”

I can’t even avoid idiot AI bros when I go to Oxford. My brother in Earendil ChatGPT is not the same thing as the steam engine.

What do the English have against comfortable mattresses

Excellent dinner with excellent folks is a great way to start oxonmoot.

I think I’m old enough now that it should mean somethins a comin when my scars ache. Just gotta figure out my randomly aching orchi scar is foretelling

If you see this, quote repost with a vampire who isn’t Dracula

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

Celebrating Labor Day the @babylonpod.page way

dude looks fuckin' sick

i am, generally, not on board with the "what would tolkien think of this" argument but AI is fundamentally opposed to the spirit of Tolkien's works, to say nothing of the fact that the author himself would absolutely revile it.

my "oh god i'm old" of the day: the APPARENT CHILD i am talking to references overwatch and not mortal kombat when talking about the "get over here" maneuver.

@jude.athrabeth.com Your ❤️Finrod❤️bracelet is done!

phrases jude wasnt prepared to hear tonight "quark gets force femmed". no spoilers, as apparently its something im in for in a future ds9 episode

Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.

in two weeks i never have to hear anyone complain about a lack of silksong news ever again

I wonder if I can pull off casually wearing a gambeson

the nonclickbait story here is how a kid did something stupid, owned it, and did hard work to understand exactly how foul it was and to be super upfront about it. I think taking that kind of responsibility should be rewarded. Not punished by being on the Yankees www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

Hey jude uh scolding yourself for not wanting to eat enough to pick a snack at the gas station is fine, I guess, but maybe do it in your head next time. Fewer weird looks from the guy at the cash register

truly the highlights of this panel will be our guests, not us, lol
