I’m in this new #Tolkien documentary on Arte free to watch online from today:

I selected multiple languages for audio and English subtitles, but there are options to watch in German or French!

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

You've done such an incredible job putting this together!
What an amazing day! I've laughed, I've cried, but most of all I've had the feeling I always get when the Tolkien community comes together and that's home.

Planning my cosplays for #TolkienTage next year!
So far I'm thinking Héra, a hobbit (naturally) and maybe Nerdanel 🤔
I hadn't actually dyed my hair with this intention, but it saves on wigs and having to wear said wigs 😂
Because this question is asked fairly frequently I'm going to pin this (once I've figured out how to do that).

Wonderful to see that @tolkiensociety.org is now on Bluesky! 🥳
Mine too! Now I really want some 😂
Thank you so much ❤️ and 🤞
Ahhh I can't wait to see you!! One of the best things about Oxonmoot is getting to see some your favourite people 😊
This sounds amazing! What flavour takis did you go for?
Hiiiiiii!!! ❤️ I'm so glad to see you too!! I am, I've been finishing up my German course, and now I'm doing the integration course. One exam down one to go 😅. Fingers crossed that I've passed!
How are you?!!
My plans are to definitely be there next year. Are you going too? ✨
I finally got around to watching the last season of Umbrella Academy, and ever since then I've had the baby shark song stuck in my head. So thanks for that 😂

The programme for the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference is out (including yours truly)

the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began.
But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope.
...all those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom."
"Mightier than Este is Nienna, sister of the Feanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end,..
With #WaroftheRohirrim coming out (YAY!!!!!), I'm thinking a lot about Haleth and Nerdanel and Indis, and the small but poignant moments we see of them claiming their agency in #Tolkien's Legendarium.
