Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake

And a happy year of the whores to you all

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

It was in her company (with a mixed party of about the same size as the company in The Hobbit) that I journeyed on foot with a heavy pack through much of Switzerland, and over many high passes. It was approaching the Aletsch that we were nearly destroyed by boulders loosened in the sun rolling down a snow-slope. That and the ‘thunder-battle’ – a bad night in which we lost our way and slept in a cattle-shed – appear in The Hobbit. It is long ago now... From J.R.R. Tolkien’s letter to Joyce Reeves (4 November 1961)

Photograph of Tolkien and his brother, sitting on the ground in a group photo in his walking tour group in Lauterbrunnen. Behind them were seven women. All wearing hiking outfits and wide brimmed hats and holding walking sticks.

A quote from Tolkien's 1961 letter about the inspiration behind the Misty Mountains crossing in severe weather in The Hobbit: his hiking trip at 19 with his brother Hilary, his aunt Jane, and their group that was about the same size as Thorin's company, mostly women. #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

Drawing a Feeling YouTube video by Ethan M. Aldridge

If you'd like to see how this painting was done, I just posted an in-depth process video on my channel! youtube.com/watch?si=LtSliD02ZWnF6upA&v=QKjZreLANXI&feature=youtu.be

On every item there was a label tied. There were several labels of this sort: For ADELARD TOOK, for his VERY OWN, from Bilbo, on an umbrella. Adelard had carried off many unlabelled ones. For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo, on a large waste-paper basket. Dora was Drogo’s sister and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century. For MILO BURROWS, hoping it will be useful, from B.B., on a gold pen and ink-bottle. Milo never answered letters. For ANGELICA’S use, from Uncle Bilbo, on a round convex mirror. She was a young Baggins, and too obviously considered her face shapely. For the collection of HUGO BRACEGIRDLE, from a contributor, on an (empty) book-case. Hugo was a great borrower of books, and worse than usual at returning them. For LOBELIA SACKVILLE-BAGGINS, as a PRESENT, on a case of silver spoons. Bilbo believed that she had acquired a good many of his spoons, while he was away on his former journey.

For #TolkienTrewsday theme of "mirror", I saw every scene of gift-giving as a mirror that reflects the journey and trait of the receiver, like the Phial of Galadriel for Frodo or soil and seed for Sam.

My favorite? Bilbo's gifts for relatives that reflect their annoying habits.

Happy New Year 🎈 everyone!
Thank you for supporting my work. I just entered my third year making frogs, last October. It’s been a blast. I’ve made so many frogs now, and I still love making each and every one of them. 🫶🏻
I hope 2026 brings you happy memories. 🥳🥰

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

When I read LotR, I find a story about intentionally giving up power, about humble people having a greater impact on the world than any ruler, about the unaccountable cost of war...

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.
