I ❤️ self-contradiction
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!
Emily Dickinson
@TolkienSociety@LukeBShelton I did! Clear, instructive! I still wish for an « advanced » version (= extended to the whole corpus, not only LOTR/Silmarilion and main variants).
I have to reread N. Bunting/E. Currie’s contribution on Tolkien’s Fantasy Landscape, with maps (I know some places).
Thank you!🙏🏻
I received my Mallorn today.
Thanks for reprinting David Graig’s insightful article about Tolkien’s conservative vision of women-men relationships and presence in LOTR.

@BlakePatrol 😍😍😍You made my Christmas for many reasons but you reading Tess is the greatest gift! I do hope you’ll like it though you know I hurt every time I read it. Big hugs 🤗
I’ve been in a mist of painkillers/anti-inflammation/muscle soreness pills every day for months.That’s probably why Twitter is good for me, since I can’t focus, can’t read more than 10 academic paragraphs (that 1 not astonishing),can’t listen to audiobooks, can’t read. #disabled
@sueveneer When your revered older sister decides she’s spending Christmas with you, you are in awe and very afraid. Really. Bathroom clinically clean: check
Kitchen idem: check
Windows: failure
Dust: partially check
Gifts: I did my best...
I know: I am an adult.🤓
This little babe, so few days old
Is come to rifle Satan's fold;
All hell doth at his presence quake
Though he himself for cold do shake...
Merry Christmas!
