I’ve mostly stepped away from Twitter (just need to hit that final delete button), but you can still find me here, on Instagram, and on Threads! 🌿✨

When you first joined the Tolkien Community and getting into Tolkien's works with others... what helped you dive in? What made you feel welcome? What enticed you into sharing your thoughts on Tolkien's writing with others?

I may regret this, but for every like, I'll give a fact about the "Hunt for Gollum" story from the text.

Happiest birthday to the man who introduced me to faërie, as well as rest, recovery, and consolation, who is my first favorite storyteller and subcreator, and whose works have been my constant source of comfort since I was 6: Hayao Miyazaki.

Prepare for Studio Ghibli stuff today!

Happy 134th birthday to the man, the myth, and the legend that is J.R.R. Tolkien. Every year, today, we get to celebrate the man who gave us The Lord of the Rings and so much more. What brought you to Middle-earth? Cheers to the Professor! 🍻

Stealing this excellent question from @nateanite.bsky.social, asker of excellent questions:

What are your absolute necessities to pack when attending a Moot (or even a Con)?

I've been wanting to revisit a moment in Tolkien's Legendarium for comfort today, and I have my usual preferred passages for this, but I want to hear what others go to as well. What are your favorite joyful moments to return to in the Legendarium?

Since it’s Spooky Day, what are your favorite eerie, haunting, or horror-tinged moments, places, creatures, or passages from Tolkien’s Legendarium (or his other works)?

If you've been on @donmarshall72.bsky.social's clockapp coworking livestreams (which are my favorite to join while I get things done) or seen some of his videos recently... IYKYK

Also go check out his latest videos, join his Patreon, and come hang out with us whenever he does them!

I've been working on a thematic line of stuff for my storefront so I can save up and replace my work laptop/set-up and what I use for events, networking and Bree Crossroads.

Did a thing to help support myself...

I’ve opened a storefront (link in bio), starting with Off to Find Faërie: Faërie has been a source of beauty, peril, strength & consolation long before Tolkien.

Tees, totes, mugs & more now available if it speaks to you too?

Happiest birthday to The Silmarillion today! Of all Tolkien's works, this one is dearest to my heart.

Art credit of course goes to Ted Nasmith for this Eärendil the Mariner piece.

#Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë
A digital graphic celebrating the 48th birthday of The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. The background shows a ship with white sails and a blue and silver emblem, sailing on the ocean under a blue sky with clouds. Overlaid on the image is a translucent gray box containing black text. The text reads: *"Happy 48th Birthday to The Silmarillion! This book holds a very special place in my heart. It was the very first Tolkien work I read, the first season of The Prancing Pony Podcast I listened to, and I owe so very, very much to both J.R.R. Tolkien for writing it and Christopher Tolkien for bringing it into the world. The Silmarillion truly upended, changed, and even saved my life more than once. To celebrate today, I’ve gathered some fun activities—feel free to pick one (or many!): ✨ Share your favorite Silmarillion memes! ✨ If you’re a PPP listener, tell me your favorite episodes, insights, or shenanigans from Season 1 OR what you’re most excited to hear when Alan revisits it in future seasons. ✨ Drop a question or thought you’ve always wanted to explore about one of the stories. ✨ Tell me your favorite Silmarillion lore video or resource! ✨ Show off your favorite editions (or a whole shelfie—I love discovering new ones!). ✨ Share a photo of a place that reminds you of somewhere in The Silmarillion. ✨ Post your favorite quote or passage from the book! Looking forward to seeing everyone’s responses!"*
