So I've been seeing folks getting into various #Tolkien books for the first time, looking for ways to connect with folks in the Tolkien community, wanting thoughts on adaptations; I wanted to put my comfort read/emotional support book out there as it's 50% off right now: tinyurl.com/wwlmeaudiobook
Thank you :) (I’m the guy in the video)
I too, keep thinking about this.
(It’s me, I’m in the video)

Today's challenge: Every time you start spinning out in panic from reading the news or catching up on social media, put down the phone and spend 5 min. cleaning up/picking up/tidying/somehow improving your home environment.
And then notice how much of a difference your small effort can make.
That’s exactly where I got it from. 👍
Without cheating, post your last photo of you trying to cover the whole of Middle-earth in a second darkness. #LotR
I don’t know if this will help anyone but Sauron came back a a LOT of times before he was finally defeated

LONG POST - For those with larger audiences, a repost will be much appreciated to share with as many people as possible
In June 2023 it was brought to my attention (and @drnosy.bsky.social ) that there was an individual stalking and harassing women across Tolkien Fandoms /1

The app itself will still be available on your phone. But the app can’t be downloaded by anyone who hasn’t downloaded it already without a VPN. Unfortunately that doesn’t matter when it comes to updating apps and phone. So TikTok will be effectively obsolete and inaccessible when that happens.
If you’re wondering what radicalized me, it was the TikTok ban.
The landscape of social media is yet again crumbling to the failures of capitalism as yet again, the wealthy do what they please while the rest of us must pick up the pieces.
Like sure, I’ll reupload all my videos to Instagram. The platform owned by the guy who stole my data and got away with it. I’ll build up another following and give Zuckerberg the money for a verified badge. Meantime the new guy on Zuck’s board was filmed punching his own wife in the face.
You know what’s insane? The US government is going to take my main source of income away like it’s nothing. Then they’re going to lie about it and say it’s cause China has my data as if Zuckerberg hasn’t done the exact same thing with no consequences.
This is so cool!!!
Halfway there! #crossstitch #Tolkien
