The Doors of Durin are among the most iconic images in Tolkien’s world. There are many illustrations where they are shown closed, but I wanted to capture a different moment: when the riddle is solved and the doors open.

On 11 November 1954: The Two Towers is published!

Being the second part of J.R.R. #Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings, it is a volume of two halves. The first follows Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli to Fangorn and Rohan; and after the Battle of the Hornburg, ends with Gandalf taking Pippin to Gondor.

On 9 November 1967: Smith of Wootton Major was first published.

A short story by J.R.R. #Tolkien set entirely outside of Middle-earth, the tale is about a cake and a feast, the Master Cook, Smith, and the land of Faery. A cute little tale that is very much worth your time. #Booksky

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country.
This is the story of some of those veterans.

So apparently, the US Gov, in their most recent series of dog whistles, are pulling LOTR references and are outright saying that their fascist reign of terror is akin to protecting the Shire. Absolutely fucking not. The comparison is a straightforward dogwhistle, don't let them confuse you.
