the thing about lotr that the movies don’t convey so fully is how the story is set in an age heavily overshadowed by all the ages before. they’re constantly traveling through ruins, discussing the glory of days gone by, the empires of men are much diminished, the elves (especially galadriel) are described as seeming incongruent, frozen in time….some of the imagery is even near-apocalyptic, like the ruins of moria and of course the landscape surrounding mordor
this is a strange thought to me, somehow: that the archetypal “high fantasy” story is set at the point where the…fantasy…used to be much higher? this is not the golden age; this is a remnant
LotR is Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome of the elves.

“stop calling yourself gay if you’re bi” well sorry shelby but bisexuality has no culture or community to speak of because half the world thinks we don’t exist and the other half thinks we’re inherently untrustworthy/only good for threesomes, and you fucking gremlins decided “queer” is a slur and can no longer be used as an umbrella term in the year of our lord twenty fucking seventeen, so until further notice i’m going to use whatever word i want to describe how i feel when i watch rachel maddow, t h a n k s
there’s a big difference between “food waste” as in “farmers destroy tons of food to avoid exceeding quotas” or “supermarkets throw away this much edible food because it doesn’t sell”
and “food waste” as in “it is not actually within the capacity of humans to perfectly predict and track household food consumption, so a certain amount of food per household inevitably goes bad and has to be thrown out every year”
the idea that food waste is the product of thoughtless consumers rather than corporate greed is really insidious

What you should all be impressed by is Alexander Hamilton’s ability to limbo right under the super low bar Eliza set for him as a husband…
