It’s so important to support the creators, pages, spaces, and friends whose work you enjoy... whether that’s sharing their posts, leaving a like, adding a thoughtful comment, or engaging in the conversation.

Leave me something beautiful from Tolkien's works, creations centered around Tolkien/Middle-earth, and/or the Tolkien community.

Check out a clip from our recent PPP Plays LOTRO Livestream in which Hilbern the Hobbit attempts tightrope walking and demonstrates the popular in-game pastime of breaking one's ankles. youtu.be/kpaWMWA9Q60

If you're still putting your voice out there, adding to the discussion, staying the community, this grey haven raven is glad you're here and so thankful you're adding your thoughts!

Just your gentle reminder that it's okay to get burned out on community, talking Tolkien, and taking space for a bit. You're welcome back anytime; there's always a place for you.

Well it really and truly is that day of the year: March 25... Tolkien Reading Day! (It's also the day of the downfall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring, of course. That may be an important thing that happens on this day, too.)

Thank you @tolkienguide.com and @thetolkienist.com for that event back in 2020!

I wrote a small thing on Tolkien Reading Day events. Admittedly it's incredibly experiential, but then so is Tolkien Reading Day for me. I hope you'll take some time to read & share; I hope even more that I'll see you at one of the events happening either tomorrow or throughout the week. Link below!

Hey there! I'm glad you're in the Tolkien community, you're welcome here, and your voice/thoughts on Tolkien, Middle-earth, its adaptations and art on it matter, but it's okay to be here even if you don't share anything.

Tolkien is for Everyone rings of power season 3 has been confirmed and what that means for the future of my tolkien spaces

Just want to be super clear about the Bree Crossroads spaces and platform. I 100% agree with Celebreabird here in this perfectly eloquent write-up she did on Tolkien being for *everyone*. It's worth a read and re-read; hell a bookmark while you're at it. manymeetings.substack.com/p/tolkien-is...

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.
