"any rate, it grows well on the south slopes of the hill. The Bree-hobbits claim to have been the first actual smokers of the pipe-weed. They claim, of course, to have done everything before the people of the Shire, whom they refer to as "colonists"; but in this case their claim is, I think, likely to be true. And certainly it was from Bree that the art of smoking the genuine weed spread in the recent centuries among Dwarves and such other folk, Rangers, Wizards, or wanderers, as still passed to and fro through that ancient road-meeting. The home and centre of the art is thus to be found in the old inn of Bree, The Prancing Pony, that has been kept by the family of Butterbur from time beyond record. 'All the same, observations that I have made on my own many journeys south have convinced me that the weed itself is not native to our parts of the world, but came northward from the lower Anduin, whither it was, I suspect, originally brought over Sea by the Men of Westernesse. It grows abundantly in Gondor, and there is richer and larger than in the North, where it is never found wild, and flourishes"

If TROP does not show the Hobbits getting introduced to pipeweed by Numenoreans then frankly Amazon need to hand those licensing rights back in shame.

Imladris, exactly the way it is, but Elrond has two dogs.

Stay safe there, friend.

idk, if mashup(Peter Pan + Sherlock Holmes) ft. feminist + anticolonialist framing of Victorian history doesn't tickle your fancy, then you come for the great writing to see how it's done at the hands of a genre master. dunno why I gotta persuade you to read a Pat Murphy.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Reform wankers can kiss my non-white arse.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

When your country is being run by a literal death cult. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

There’s a very simple solution to this…

Dunno if I am, but 2 or 3.

Yes yes yes to all of this!!

If you love urban-gothic-magical-supernatural stories, I think this series is exactly for you.

OUR LADY of MYSTERIOUS AILMENTS CAN MAGIC HEAL AS WELL AS HARM? T. L. HUCHU Book cover featuring a yellow street map and outlines of buildings in Edinburgh, on a black background.

SOME SECRETS ARE MEANT TO STAY BURIED When Ropa Moyo discovered a secret occult library. she hoped an apprenticeship to learn magic would follow. Instead, she's had to accept a crummy unpaid internship - with bills to pay and a pet fox to feed. Then a friend offers her a job. Priya works at Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments, a clinic where a baffling illness has afflicted students of magic. If Ropa can unravel the mystery, she might earn as she learns and impress her mentor, Sir Callander. Her sleuthing will lead her to a lost fortune, an avenging spirit and a secret buried in Scotland's past. Yet how are they connected? Lives are at stake and Ropa is running out of time.

Part 2 of 5 in the Edinburgh Nights series. I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first, prob cos it didn’t need to build the world at the same time and could launch fully into the story.

Love the supernatural mystery of it, and it leaves enough to make you want to start the next book immediately.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Understand you can be both a minority and a majority in the same instance; and what you would not like done to you as a minority, you should not be doing as a majority to another minority.

And listen to Peter Mullan in this:

These are the same kinds of "jokes" online that corresponded to an increase in hate crimes against Asian people back during Covid lockdowns. The stupid stuff we joke about online, or broadcast on TV, has real world consequences and always affects the most marginalised. STOP THIS.

Because people with Tourette’s - including POC with Tourette’s - are now seeing/hearing your words, and learning they are not safe to be themselves around you because you’ll be violent to them if they tic an involuntary slur within earshot.

As a racial minority, yes we understand your points on being on the receiving end of a slur…
But! As an able-bodied majority, you’re wishing violence on a disabled minority for something they have no control over

Begging these people to learn how intersectionality works before speaking

Critical thinking is dead unfortunately.

Now it’s all about how fast can I perform my reaction to camera so I can show it to the whole world, who cares if I’m vastly misinformed?!

Excellent!!

I do love how the TROP fandom has been “that’s our Elrond!” like he is our collective child.

Like …

But to no one’s surprise I have already seen people (no guesses from where) frothing about how dare they use an able-bodied actor to play a disabled person - without knowing John himself coached and approved Rob for the role cos he was unable to do it himself. 🙃
