Take some advice from @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social: You should read Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow. Then you should read Children of God.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

This video is missing its start but it was the greatest talk of Oxonmoot 2023 imo and has some really important data about Tolkien's style. It may be second only to his Christopher Tolkien Centennial Conference talk as his best Tolkien talk, but that one hasn't been released yet.

“Why was Tolkien writing about fairies in a war zone?"

That question helped launch @johngarthwriter.bsky.social into researching Tolkien’s life during the War, and shed new light on the origins of Middle-earth!
