Cats do not name things unto themselves. The things belonged to the cat since before the Ainur sang and before Eru Iluvatar said "Eä." Cats simply live as if this is so, and the rest of us are too anxiety-ridden to do the same. #tolkien #cats

It’s dark. Sam asks for a tale. Strider tells of Tinúviel: ‘It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth.

‘The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering…’

Not all of your hobbies need to be content.

As long as you enjoy it and it brings you peace, then that's enough.

Suzail was the capital of Cormyr. It was one of two Cormyrean ports and a huge variety of trade goods flowed through the city.

On a woodland trail, autumn, there are several large beech trees on the left and a birch on the right. The trunks and branches of the trees seem to form a circle ahead. Wales, UK.

Fog rocks were natural stones imbued with magic that occasionally washed up on the western shores of islands in the Sea of Swords. Their magic produced a cloud of thick mist once submerged in fresh water.

Join Bilbo Baggins, Thorin, Gandalf, and all your favorite characters on the journey to the Lonely Mountain! There may or may not be a dragon involved. #MTGxHobbit

A snowy pass featuring characters climbing, with the words Magic: The Gathering and The Hobbit over top.

The named characters from the post ride horses and ponies as they move along a path out of a lush green landscape dotted with hobbit homes.

A dragon lays across an absolutely massive golden hoard as a small figure climbs the pile.

Chris Bonnello - Autistic Not Weird @chrisbonnello.bsky.social · Sep 26

I often get pushback when I make points like this, from those dying to ask “but what about the *really* disabled autistic people?”… all assuming I don’t live with a disabled autistic teenager.
I do, by the way, and she’s awesome. And she deserves better than people using her as an anti-ND argument.

Autistic people have always existed. Disabled people have always existed.
But the acceptance of autistic and disabled people waxes and wanes depending on who’s got the microphone.
Which means, if we go back to the dark days of seeing people as tragedy cases, then that’s a failure of wider society, not autism or disability.

There is a Russian Opera about it. I believe it's available on YouTube.

Finished painting and assembling this diorama of the first meeting of Beren & Luthien. The trees are from twigs from my own Luthien and I's home, the sand is from where we got engaged.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.
