tolkien was a person, like any other. and assigning him to one "side" of the political spectrum or the other will never get to the heart of why fascists are drawn to his work.

it's not co-opting when the framework is there. put your attachment to middle-earth aside and fight fascism in all forms.

yeah not my monkeys but just saying this circus is poorly managed and I'd rather stay away. Thank you

It’s also very fucking annoying given that I literally drag myself out of bed anyway. Yeah I’m slow but it’s still better than doing nothing at all, and for me that’s *real* progress. It’s about those little unnoticeable steps. But still. I mean. Fuck off? We're good.

i don’t believe in lore dick measuring contests or excluding people who are getting into tolkien and learning but you do run into some amount of “i haven’t read the book but you have to take what i think about it seriously otherwise you’re mean” around adaptation fan spaces which is like. well, no!

I know it must be hard for some people to understand but I never chose to feel this overbearing anxiety that keeps me staring at the ceiling and threatens to choke me. No, I didn’t "choose" to do nothing. Yes, I’m doing everything I can to fight back. this is my best sorry not sorry

One third of chapter two (out of three) of my thesis is done and it sucks. I’m staring at the document in horror and disgust and it’s staring back at me in utter disappointment.

anyway good morning everyone

no sufferance is unattainable and yet. again lose idealism for good and lose the plot I guess.

This to say 75% of law scholars I’ve engaged with have told me they don’t believe history has ended and yet they act as though it has. Very vague but

nycteris @nycterisg.bsky.social · 10d

because yeah we naturally work with sacrifices - two or more principles in contrast, and in the best-case scenario both are diminished in a context where the dominance of one value, no matter how benign, means the annihilation of the other
