it fucks me up that tolkien only died in 1973. dude has the vibe of a victorian scholar who wrote all his manuscripts by candlelight but then you look him up and realise that he knew what color tv was. what the fuck.

Tolkien had personal beef with the Beatles

[solepunk]

He actively encouraged Led Zeppelin to write songs based on the LOTR series and considered it an honor

When the current queen of Denmark was young, she made illustrations for his books and sent them to him under a pseudonym. He liked them and they were printed in the Danish version of the book.

I’m not stupid: I have dyscalculia

I want to be able to talk about some issues that I have. Dyscalculia is a learning disability that often appears to be merely poor math skills, but it’s more than that. What upsets me is how unknown to the general public this learning disability is (I only found out about it through training, as I am an educator and had to study it to learn how to help my students through it), and there is power in knowing why you think the way you do. Also, I have ADHD, and those with that disorder are fare more likely to also have dyscalculia as well; it’s also considered a cousin of dyslexia. 

 Here is a list of the symptoms of the disability I have, so it is not comprehensive. I just wanted to tell somebody about it. Get it off my chest. Also, the ones in bold are the ones that affect me the most. Here goes:

I have trouble with adding/subtracting/multiplying, or really, doing anything with numbers higher than ten

difficulty understanding and doing word problems

I feel stressed out making change and handling money

I easily get lost

knowing my left from my right comes down to making the L shape with my left hand

I have very little spacial awareness, making me clumsy on foot and driving

severe difficultly remembering names

I have trouble reading analog clocks

poor memory for anything number-related

motor-sequencing issues, which makes it hard to learn a dance or move in a graceful fashion

directions (north, south, east, and west) are unfathomable to me

short-term memory issues

Feb 9, 2019 — I visited a cozy local cafe in town and got a pack of macarons (rose is my favorite flavor!) and had to take a book photo based on the lovely pastries ♡

What did Gandalf mean when he replied to Aragorn in Fangorn forest: “I am Saruman... or rather, Saruman as he should have been”?

It simply refers to how he was the original leader of the Istari.

TIME MANAGEMENT STUFF / TERM 7 

I’ve got a lot of questions about this during my Art Center time, so I drew it ! This system came from when I had to manage my time during art high school (8am-5pm everyday) with 2 waitress jobs. Everybody has different working method, but I will be more than happy if anyone gets new idea from it ! 

[smilestudy]

add me on goodreads !!!

[smilestudy]

if you think i’m ever going to stop promoting my goodreads you are wildly incorrect

[tolkien-polyglot]

Oh, me too! I’m always looking for more recommendations on goodreads! 

[tolkien-polyglot]

tip: if you’re wanting to learn japanese, but don’t know where to start, I’d recommend learning hiragana and katakana, and then start on kanji with wanikani (produced by tofugu)! this will save you SO MUCH TIME trust me :3
