Just listened to this episode. Wonderful breakdown of feminist criticism of Tolkien’s texts and @aranelparmadil.bsky.social has me SO excited for the future of feminist and queer readings of the works of Tolkien. Highly suggest giving this a listen! Thanks for this, @podcast.athrabeth.com 🖤
This month, we are joined by Tolkien scholar, Dr. Sara Brown to examine the past, present and future of feminist criticism of Tolkien’s work! Sara is such a phenomenal educator, you are going to love this! Thanks so much, @aranelparmadil.bsky.social!

For Black History Month, did you know that one of our foundational Tolkien scholars is a Black woman? Melanie Rawls wrote "The Feminine Principle in Tolkien" (1984), among THE seminal works on women and Tolkien. She's written on JRRT and Ursula Le Guin among others and is a fantasist herself.

A little insight into the symbol you see on most Tolkien books! It’s Tolkien’s monogram and has been used on his books since the early 80’s!

The Hobbit taught us that Dragons who hoard gold at the expense of the well being of others will have their undoing by even the smallest person. We're meant for more in this world, for good food, cheer, and a comfortable life.

Thinking about reading the Lord of the Rings
…and then rereading it, then trying The Silmarillion like 3 times before finishing it & then listening to podcasts & taking online Tolkien classes & writing papers & reading Tolkien’s expansive works, and basically making LotR my entire personality??? Idk

Be1mont is one of the coolest Tolkien nerds out there and I always learn something new from him! 🖤
Hey y'all I'm a #tolkien content creator who does deep lore talks.

I'd love to meet others who enjoy Tolkien, either the movie or the books, so we can talk about it.

Right now, favorite portion to read is the start of the TT with the three hunters and the departure of Boromir.

What's yours?

In 1915 Tolkien was just 23 years old, engaged to the love of his life, Edith and had a head full of ancient tales, poetry and myths. His conception of Middle-earth as we know it today was still far off, but the seeds of his legendarium were sprouting…

Ok BlueSky let’s go! looking to connect with the kind, respectful and loving Tolkien community that I know exists! We don’t
hate on adaptations/ judge any who like them, we don’t gatekeep anyone from Middle-earth & we can talk about aspects we like (or don’t) with respect 🖤 #tolkien #lordoftherings
