My friend just sent me the greatest home listing I think I have ever seen

I mean, check out this beutiful riverside home! Double garage! Upstairs access from the outside! Lets check out the inside

Open concept kitchen, nice, nice

Oh, the whole Floorplan seems to be open concept. Okay! That floor is a little odd, but not a deal breaker.

That bathroom could use an update

Need to change out that curtain

Okay, let's go take a look at the back yard!

Oh

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

there should be an oscar category called “movie my dad completed without falling asleep on the couch” and it’s more prestigious and contentious than best picture

Democrats: True Blue Facists

It's not being talked about nearly enough but the Biden Administration has just had a preliminary injunction put on them preventing them from contacting social media companies for the purpose of managing “the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech posted on social-media platforms.”

Its a quick 7 page decision, but damning through and through. Everything from COVID-19 to Hunter Biden's laptop; even Joe Biden's policies, were subject to suppression by government organizations and their affiliates (Southern Poverty Law Center, Election Integrity Partnership, the Virality Project, the Stanford Internet Observatory, etc etc) all in an effort to protect Democrats.

Of course Biden's lawyers will appeal, claiming that it prevents them from "speaking on matters of public concern" and “to prevent grave harm to the American people." Yap yap yap yap

It's fucking bone head stupid to believe the American government is in anyway hamstrung from speaking when it has access to the most powerful avenues of information dissemination in the world in the form of the aforementioned goverment agencies and its affiliates, the lick-spittle legacy media and the White Houses own messaging apparatuses.

Hopefully the Biden administration's appeal to behave like a bunch of facists gets shot down.

Tumblr absolutely obliterated the quality of this but. Here it is. Abbey Road Crossing: Hermitcraft edition.

Why? Great question! It's good to ask questions sometimes.

I've made five more small cave horses. This lot will be up on my Etsy tomorrow (Wednesday 8th of May at 9am BST). I'm still in the process of setting up a customisable made to order listing, aiming to have it ready for the 20th of May.

One of my favorite things about Tolkien's writing is that he has a very specific, recurring trope. For lack of a better term, I'm dubbing this the Tolkien Wife-Guy.

This is mainly obvious in the Silmarillion, but Tolkien loves to write couples where the man is a notable individual- nobility, commits a great deed, or both- but the wife is at least equally notable, if not more beloved or powerful. Manwe is the king of the Valar and Eru's main representative in Arda? Everyone loves Varda more, and Melkor fears her more than his own brother. Elu Thingol is the king of the Silvan Elves? His wife is Melian, whose Girdle is the magic that keeps Morgoth's forces at bay. Beren is a chief among the Edain, who befriends animals and survives one of the most nightmarish places in Beleriand? His wife is Luthien.

Even in Lord of the Rings we see this occur, though the couples are on more even footing. Tom Bombadil is... Tom Bombadil, but Goldberry is the River-daughter, and Tom adores her above everything else, and the hobbits are completely taken in with her when she's their host. Similarly, while Celeborn is a mighty lord among Elves, Galadriel is one of the only Noldor in Middle-earth who saw the Two Trees, and her hair inspired Feanor to make the Silmarils, not to mention her own accomplishments in the war against Morgoth. Aragorn is the king of Gondor and Arnor, but Arwen is the Evenstar of the Elves, the descendant of three(?) different royal Elven lines. And Faramir becomes the Steward of Gondor and is one of the noblest men alive, but Eowyn killed the Witch-king, so you know. She got the grander moment for the saga.

But with (most) of these couples, we never get the impression that the man views his wife as Less-Than, or as a junior partner. Thingol is the main exception to this in how he dismisses Melian's counsel, and that's made out to be his foolishness within the text. Otherwise, Manwe treats Varda as his co-ruler, Beren never tries to downplay Luthien's achievements, and I'm pretty sure most of Tom Bombadil's dialogue is about how gorgeous Goldberry is. It's really sweet.

All of these examples really testify to how much Tolkien loved his wife. People rightly point to Beren and Luthien as the prime example of that, but I think you can find it in these other couples too. Even though Edith is mainly known to history as Mrs. Tolkien, it's evident to me that Jirt saw her as a whole person worthy of admiration outside of being his wife.
