Looking up at the columns of St. George's Hall Liverpool which are illuminated in red. A large banner hangs between them with the top half of a poppy and the words "Left we forget" individually between two columns each.

🧙‍♂️🧵 2/ Let’s begin! This week’s theme (Week 142) is “The Great War”. Please use the following tags when you join in: #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien and #Tolkientober. You can tweet art, quotes, thoughts, blogs, academic work, reading recommendations, etc. 🗨️
Trewsday is the Hobbit name for Tuesday! Tolkien Trewsday is a community event across several online spaces: Twitter, BlueSky and now the Tolkien Society Discord server. Each week we form a fellowship to collectively post about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien (his works and his life) as well as adaptions, academic writing and creative stuff such as fanfic, fanart and cosplay. Themes are selected by myself (the organiser) and also via polls or guest hosts/curators. Together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien. The inspiration for this comes from the highly successful #FolkloreThursday which engaged lovers of Folklore, academics, artists and more to share their love of folklore. We only ask that if you are joining in, please do so with courtesy and kindness in your posts/tweets. This is a positive-action community event, open to all and supportive of fan diversity. Intolerance, racism, bigotry have no place here. Thank you! A new year means a new design! In 2025 the Two Trees remain symbolic but now Telperion (Silver Tree) has a sword trunk and Laurelin (Gold Tree) has a staff trunk.

Good morning.
An absolutely cheery Sadoc Burrows (Lenny Henry in Amazon's Rings of Power) greets the morning and the world with his sunny disposition with his usual "Good morning" and a smile.

🛡️🗡️ This is a test page for a document chronicling @voxparlour.bsky.social's tweets about his Romance of the Perilous Land RPG published by Osprey Games. I kept a record of Scott's tweets since they were a lore and game treasure trove. 1/

#RomanceOfThePerilousLand #RotPL #OspreyRPG
Test page for a document titled "Trollish Tweets" with a rose & thorn border and two columns of text content - this will be available in PDF format to read later. For now it consists of an intro about the project and also a few example tweets from Scott showing the format of what each page will be like.
