Continuing my #Tolkien #ReRead with #LostTales vol. 1.

The Gnomes have crossed the ice, & the sun & moon ships are finally sailing the heavens.

Eriol's inexplicable desire for mythic exposition continues unabated.

#Grades are posted! Let the vacation work commence!

With any luck, we'll finally get to finish the next #podcast episode in our #EyeofSauron series. It's on #ChristianNationalism in the wake of #PeterJackson's #LordoftheRings films.

And hopefully I'll finally get to writing that book chapter on #Tolkien & the far right that I've had to put off for the last...

What year is it?

When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

Reminder to anyone who supports the NYT staff's labor action: unless a miracle happens and we get a contract deal by midnight, we will be walking out for one day tomorrow, Dec. 8.

We'll be asking supportive readers to abstain from visiting/using NYT offerings for the day, midnight to midnight. That means articles. That means multimedia. That means... Wordle.

I know. That one pains me too. But maybe the word will be like LYMPH and we'll all be lucky to miss it.

An offset to the end-of-term, #grading blues was finishing my #HobbitReRead over the weekend. Delightful as always.

The true unsung hero, of course, was the thrush.

Now I'm finishing my #UnfinishedTales #ReRead. I'd totally forgotten that the Blue Wizards, who were lost in Rhûn, had names in Valinor.

If only we had their stories.
