During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Y'all, I am VERY excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite Tolkien artists: Kay Woollard (1924-2008).

Woollard first read LotR in '79 when she was 55. From then until her death, she was heavily involved in Tolkien fan culture, contributing illustrations to Tolkien Society publications.

Spike the bulldog rounds a corner wearing a pink helmet that says NO. Unbeknownst to him, Heathcliff is on the other side of the corner, wearing a pink helmet that says YES. Two birds watch the impending confrontation from a nearby tree, and one of them says "Hold on to your butt."

Got another report of something like this. If anyone reaches out to you using my name to talk about some life altering art exhibit in Japan, just want you to know that it is not me. Block this email address.
