A very happy 101st birthday to Christopher #Tolkien!

Most of what we know about Middle-earth is thanks to Christopher who posthumously edited over 20 books. He sadly passed away over five years ago, but please raise a glass, and toast Christopher's service to us all. Namárië. #BookSky

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.

It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Silver age Justice league panel. Someone is holding a palm forward so the Atom, Ray Palmer, can lean down eye-level to Hawkgirl for a little mansplaining. Narration: “As the overjoyed children filled the air with screams of delight, ATOM turns to Hawkgirl….” The Atom says, “Please understand, HAWKGIRL,that our bylaws permit taking in only one new member at a time – – and – – er….” Hawkgirl smiles and thinks, “I understand – – and approve! HAWKMAN is the leader of our ‘team’ – – and I feel sufficiently honored by having HIM accepted into the JUSTICE. LEAGUE!“

Kannattaa tutustua Tähtitiedettä tytöille -blogiin! Siinä näytetään, miten tähtitiede voi kulkea mukana elämässä monella tavalla. Ei blogia ole tarkoitettu vain tytöille, mutta stereotypioiden johdosta tytöt ja naiset saattavat tarvita vähän rohkaisua lähteäkseen tutustumaan tähtiharrastukseen. 🔭
Blogini seuraava vaihe -Tähtitiedettä tytöille
Haluan nostaa esiiin niitä tähtitieteen historian naisia, joiden tarina on jäänyt taka-alalle, ja niitä tyttöjä, jotka vasta löytävät aiheen pariin.

Ursan esitelmä tänään klo 18 Youtubessa! Törmäävätkö Andromeda ja Linnunrata? Jo pitkään on pidetty varmana, että galaksit tulevat törmäämään noin 4,5 miljardin vuoden kuluttua, mutta tuore tutkimus väittää muuta. Puhujana tutkimukseen osallistunut Jenni Häkkinen @helsinki.fi. #tähtitaivas
Ursan esitelmät
Ursan syyskauden 2025 esitelmät suoratoistetaan YouTubessa. Linnunradan ja Andromedan törmäys, maailmankaikkeus ja Saturnuksen kuu Titan.

Had the honor to listen to Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian Territory. The occupation is not over, the genocide is not over and the impunity is not over, therefore we must continue our work for sanctions, criminal responsibility and ending all arms trade.

17th century birthing stool, with handgrips for the mother to grasp during contractions and a 'cloth round the ring to keep out the aire'. Similar stools can be found described in the Bible and in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs
An open book. On the right-hand-page is an illustration of a stool which has a tall back, fabric around the base covering the legs and an open ring-shaped base - so the seated person would perch on the ring with space below them for the baby to be delivered

Silver age panel of Aquaman surfing atop some swordfish, commanding them to drive their swords right into a tanker’s sides, causing it to spring a leak. Off panel someone says, “Now – – now he drove their swords right into the tanker’s sides, causing it to spring a leak!“

Narration: “As the prison gates open to set him free….“ We watch a balding man in a brown pinstripe suit carrying a small suitcase, walking away through the grass in front of a prison and thinking, “From now on I’ll be having the time of my life!“

A 20 something man stands outside. He’s wearing a jacket and a white turtleneck. His eyes are wide and he’s slack-jawed as he hears from inside, “Oh darling… You better go now.” And someone replies, “when will I see you again?”

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

#TolkienTrewsday Week 143: Fathers and Sons

Even though they’re cousins and Frodo calls him “uncle,” I always liked seeing Bilbo as Frodo’s adoptive father.

He loved and cared for him, and even helped prepare him for his grand quest.

(This illustration was originally for Hobbit Day 2024.)
A colored illustration of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins celebrating their birthday. The two have their arms linked. Bilbo has a wide smile while Frodo looks at him with fondness. The medium of this illustration is pencils, inks, and copics on paper.
