I am a #YA writer with grand designs, who loves #Hogwarts and #MiddleEarth, and wields #Anduril with authority. ;-)

@halleberry Although he will undoubtedly grow, why not call him Pipsqueek? Pip for short. #HallesKitten

@jk_rowling Dear Jo, I remember when you first made your Harry Potter series available in audio book form on Pottermore. As this is September 1, I am beginning my annual trip through the audio series again, as Harry road the Hogwarts train back to school each year. Thank you ❤⚡

[Suzanne Lucero @S_Lucero]

@tolkienprof Very well. I shall do as you suggest, though to tell the truth, I've already read the trilogy several times. 😉😄

@tolkienprof I'm listening to LOTR on audiobook. Just reached the part where the last ExLOTR left off. I'm having a crisis here: should I continue? I don't want to, and yet I do. Help!

@rustyrockets Who wants war, except for those who profit by it? Those who hate and fear people who don't look/act/speak/think like they do. Those who fear difference and change, who will force their opinions and beliefs on others rather live peaceably with them. #ThinkAboutIt

The world is changed by examples, not by opinions, aka, actions speak louder than words.

@tolkienprof re: the dwarven faces carved around the passage. Notice how many half-formed faces are carved behind the 5 or so main ones. It's as though there is a huge crowd of half-seen dwarves in back, perhaps to impress upon travelers the race of dwarves is huge and watching.

@JaneEspenson I did a quick 2-page outline. Now I'm going back and outlining each scene. When done, I'll go back again to add more nuance and more depth. Then I might be able to actually write the novel. (I realize this conversation was probably about screen plays. Sorry for butting in.)

@LibyaLiberty It's like killing someone because their arm is infected. Get rid of the infection (on both sides) and the body will heal.

FYI: There has been a huge surge in the number of deepfake videos — some of which are quite well done — on this platform in the past few days. These are probably among the best quality deepfakes I’ve seen at this scale; most viewers are unable to tell that the videos are fake.

@tolkienprof Re: ExLOTR, so 297. Boromir throws the stone and the Fellowship notice waves and bubbling. Always remember, CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION. (It took me a few years to realize that. Imagine my surprise when I found out there was a quote for it. 😄)

[Suzanne Lucero @S_Lucero]

@tolkienprof Re ExLOTR, session 289. I own two single-volume LOTR books. One edition has illustrations by Alan Lee © 1991 and says "masters." The other, unillustrated edition was published in 2004 and says "makers." I would never have noticed but for this excellent series. 😄👍

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary #MyTwitterAnniversary (Sorry, Elon.)

@tolkienprof re: ExLOTR #277. Gimli had his stout legs; Legolas had his singing bow. I have aalways read that as a contrast: The dwarves are heavy and grounded, the elves are light and airy.

[Suzanne Lucero @S_Lucero]

@Pagimater @BestPaulSays More books. First and second words I saw.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Dear God!

Labor Day reminder: If the federal minimum wage had increased as much as Wall Street bonuses since 1985, it would be worth $42 today.

$15 is the floor, not the ceiling, of what working people deserve.
