Dunstanburgh Castle at dusk 📷

Prompted by a post from last night I revisited this photo that I'd left unedited.

I remember I'd been waiting for the light to fade enough so that I could get a long exposure.

The foreground is a rocky beach with waves captured as mist by a long exposure. The midground are two large rocky outcrops beyond which a ruined castle stands on top of a cliff. The sun has just set.

OPM employee on Reddit states that the agency has “been compromised and taken over”. Other federal agency employees in the comments say that OPM memos are now coming directly from individuals from Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation

Anyone of a marginalised identity not sharing info & bolstering our communities needs to wake up.

The rising fascist regime won’t leave you in peace if you stay quiet. They’re stamping on us ALL.

Share your stories and each others, support each other, slap a nazi down, and love on each other.
Old Theoden king saying ‘I will not risk open war’ and younger Aragorn saying ‘open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.’

Just a friendly reminder that J.R.R. Tolkien hated Nazis. Here is his absolutely classy yet savage clapback to being asked by Nazi publishers for proof of his “Aryan descent.”

25 July 1938 20 Northmoor Road, Oxford Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as l am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride. Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung. I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully, J. R. R. Tolkien

A commission of Rivendell from The Lord of the Rings. This one took a while but I enjoyed working on all these crazy details. Prints coming soon. Check out the others in the shop:

COMIC:
“I wish it need not have happened in my lifetime…”
This is a comic featuring a scene from LORD OF THE RINGS. FRODO is talking to GANDALF. The scene is dark with stalactites from the ceiling and rocks on the ground. The colors are dingy. PANEL 1: FRODO: Gandalf, I wish it need not have happened in my time. GANDALF: So do I. And so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is give us. PANEL 2: FRODO looks at GANDALF who has a slight smile. A dim glow emendates from him. No dialogue. PANEL 3: Gandalf turns. GANDALF: But yeah…the next four years are really gonna suck. Frodo looks concerned. —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

R/LoTR no longer allowing links to Twitter/X 👏

With nearly 40k upvotes. Fuck yeah. LotR community stands on business. Not really a surprise considering Tolkien hated Nazis.

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶
