This past summer, #Westmoot26 committee member Ty Harnar wore his Westmoot shirt to DragonCon. There he met many familiar characters (and buildings!) from Tolkien’s legendarium. We love seeing these awesome cosplays!

Get yourself a shirt on our website! www.westmoot.org

@jenniferhurd.bsky.social Hi Jennifer! Your talk at #oxonmoot was fantastic! I never thought about what goes into the research that you do at the Oxford English Dictionary, it was so cool to hear about it! I actually just bought a subscription to the website! Thank you for the great talk! 💜
