The letter didn’t come from the Nazi party, but from the publishing house which had expressed an interest in the German translation of The Hobbit. Tolkien’s response really is a thing of beauty, though, so it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

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 I 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 bearings whatsoever on the merits of my work or its suitability 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.

(Letter 30)

The Hobbit wasn’t published in German until 1957.

[correspondingnerd]

This might just be the politest “fuck you” ever written.

[geekandmisandry]

W.h.a.t.

[bramblepatch]

Not just “I wish I had Jewish ancestors, but I don’t,” but also “you do realize that’s not what ‘Aryan’ actually means, right,” and “you guys are making it pretty hard to be proud of my German heritage.”

[steakplissken]

Nazis: Are you Aryan?

Noted linguistics freak Tolkien: Are you?

Your body is an incredibly bizarre machine.

Look at her STRUT!!! She is dragging that endorphin for filth and using that filament as her runway, bitch.

Li Ziqi is a legend. She lives in countryside of Mianyang 绵阳, Sichuan Province.

[indigenousandangry]

it is an absolute privilege to watch these. 

[honeycranes]

I’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH 李子柒 FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS EVER SINCE MY FRIEND SHOWED ME HER VIDEOS AND I ADMIRE HER SO FUCKING MUCH

SHE’S SO INDEPENDENT AND STRONG AND HANDY AND BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT AND I FUCKING LOVE HER

But her backstory makes me love her EVEN more

李子柒 (Li Ziqi) was born in Sichuan in the countryside to a poor family. Her mom left the family when she was very young, and she was abused by her stepmom when her dad wasn’t around. After her father passed away, she ended up orphaned and living with her grandparents

She dropped out of middle school and moved to the city to look for work because her family was in such poverty. There, she worked as a waitress and a DJ for 8yr, making barely enough to get by — at one point, before she had found steady work, she was homeless and was forced to seek shelter under a bridge

Her grandfather was a professional chef, and after he passed away, she decided to try her hand at the culinary arts and to share her cooking skills on social media — she started making YouTube videos (entirely independently!!)

She initially received an incredible amount of backlash… people left hurtful comments and really just shat on her for no good reason

But she persevered and continued making videos, and now, she has 3.8 million followers (as of May 4th, 2019) and gets the bulk of her income from her YouTube channel

She isn’t completely alone in making her videos anymore (she has a cameraman and an assistant), but she still does the majority of the work — the actual cooking/farming/handiwork being filmed, arranging the scenes, and video editing

She is an absolute BADASS and carries on so many Chinese traditions that are being forgotten

Most of her videos are of her cooking, but she shows you more than just the cooking process — you see her pulling vegetables and herbs and mushrooms out of the fucking ground and slicing fruits and flowers and shit off of trees with a machete in the beginning of the video, and by the end, it’s a finished, beautiful, mouth-watering dish

She also does way more than work with food — there’s a video of her building her clay oven (which you see her cooking with in a lot of videos) from SCRATCH just with some bricks and a mud mixture she made herself

There’s also a video of her making paper from scratch and then using it for calligraphy, and LET ME TELL YOU, LI ZIQI IS AS ARTISTICALLY GIFTED AS SHE IS CULINARILY

Li Ziqi is a fucking boss and I love her and please watch her videos

[disloyaltoafault]

I love Travis so much

And while I’m trawling through old episode tags: a little snippet from 107.

He had no way of knowing then what he’d be promising us he’d do several months and several million Kickstarter dollars later. :)

“Swamp Witch Gay Girl”

It feels like I’ve been blankly starring at things I’m supposed to be finishing for days, I decided that I might as well be doing anything else. Which is how I ended repeatedly clicking on the “tell me who I am” button of @glumshoe‘s ‘Sexual Identity Generator’.

She popped into my head for “swamp witch gay girl”, so I decided to try and doodle her to life. She has leathery skin and copper hair (I was thinking of bog mummies there; not the same thing as a swamp, but eh), wears kaki utility shorts and her cape is made of spanish moss. Her wand is a paddle.

Matt: Fjord? You just have this gentle chill on the back of your head, like something frozen just caressed the back of your skull and is gone.

Travis, with increasing panic: Don’t do this to me. Everyone else at this table is less susceptible to shit like that! Don’t do this to me, okay?! I don’t need this right now!

Fjord, very calm: Cool, no problem.

[niknak79]

[odysseusyes]

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

[eatsleepcrap]

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

[the-brave-little-blogger]

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it.

[everyonesfavoriteging-blog]

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

[the-neon-pineapple]

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

[perks-of-being-chinese]

woah.

[panicrobot]

it got better

[twistedthicket1-deactivated2022]

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

A little video we all should take a moment to watch and think about. 

Instead of thinking about what divides us we should think about what we have in common…

[cantgetanygayerthanthat]

I’ve reblogged this on every account I have.

This is simplistic and intended to tug on heartstrings and all that shit but guys I really needed to see something about people not being dicks so if you needed that too please watch this.

Thanks for this, Denmark.

i think maybe we could all use a little simple heartstring-tugging right about now. <3
