*Well, it'll make me feel happier!

A question to anyone who is a Tolkien expert: when Tolkien used the word "wight" was he using it in the sense we now have as a supernatural, undead being, or was he using it in the earlier sense as just "thing" or "creature" or "person"?

Does our current use come from a reading of Tolkien?

I love voting for new Lego ideas, even though I rarely buy them.
I want this one so badly though.

Oooooh! Yes! *runs off to vote*

Ja. Es ist absolut erschreckend. Und ich befürchte, es kommt noch schlimmer.

Ah well, I like big books... but I love cliffhangers 😊
So I'd say go for the cliffhanger option and publish the sequel sooner 😁

As movie-Gurgi is basically Gollum (or rather a particularly hungry/hairy version of Smeagol), that would actually work quite well 😁

A promotional image for The Chosen One Con book by Trudie Skies. It shows a background of chimneys with smog and The Chosen One Con book cover along with the text: gaslamp fantasy of bad manners and magical tech. A televised contest of mages to find the "chosen one" in a world of designer enchantments and celebrity-branded potions. Part of The Book Bazaar.

I'm launching a crowdfunding campaign for my new WIP, The Chosen One Con, this November and I need your help!

I'm hoping to set some modest goals and rewards, but I'd love to get more followers before launch. Can you help me reach my first goal of 25 followers? 😍

Some wholesome Trek content to start the week right #startrek #tng #voyager #ds9

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

I feel seen. Or rather, heard.

Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖

I'm a British millennial in my early 40s. I have a job that pays slightly above minimum wage, which was previously well-paid, but inflation nerfed it. I rent. I have £500 in savings that is going towards edits for my next book. Retirement??

Anyway, follow my book crowdfund on Backerkit 😂

I love this one so much.

I am no man ⚔️

Happy #InternationalCatDay! Tevildo was a servant of Melko in the early works of Tolkien. A precursor to Sauron, this perhaps explains this quote: "The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent."

BUT this was the glorious edition my cousin gave me when I was about 11 years old, and it changed my life! I didn't mind the book covers 🤔
Ich dachte wohl, das soll so 😂
