I’ve been reporting them. It seems that a lot of the posts contain affiliate links, so it’s someone trying to make money from that - not because they wrote the books that are getting posted.
Some have been banned, but they keep coming back. Some may be bots, but not all - I saw at least one come back with a hateful response when called out.
Haha, I guess I must have missed it in my pre-guest “hide everything that might horrify someone” routine.
I can see how this would be one of those projects that’s never quite finished. The fox, maybe Bill the pony…
As someone who really loves spiders, I am pretty tickled to see Shelob as a jumping spider, just sitting in her lair while all the action happens around her.
I pulled out my atlas again last night since it’s been a while and I’ve got to say, I think your video version was a lot more helpful to me in making connections between the various parties. The books and movies are always focused on one party at a time, so I have always tended to think of them that way. I have a very distinct memory of being 11 or 12, getting to the end of the The Two Towers where Shelob has Frodo, jumping right into The Return of the King, and nearly launching the book across the room when I found the story had gone back to Pippin and Gandalf.
Hyperion is my favorite of the two, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either. If you are interested in audiobooks there is one for Dune that is very good.
This is amazing! I believe I have the atlas you’re referring to (I keep meaning to put together my own “walk to Mordor” goal). I love seeing the movements like this.
Thanks for creating the community! I love seeing different artist’s depictions of Middle Earth. I definitely have some other favorites I can share.
She has a whole Tolkien series that is really beautiful. I have this one in my living room. People don’t realize what it is until they look closely and see the sword and the blood, haha.
As someone who once put some tortillas on the griddle, turned to the fridge to get cheese, and…walked right out of the room and back to my desk, I 100% agree. I sometimes feel dumb that I am literally setting 1 or 2 minute timers, but it’s better than burning stuff. I don’t always need them, but they are really helpful during times of stress when I’m especially preoccupied with other things.
They are pretty good hiders :) I believe Europe has a couple of tarantula species as well. I want to say they have been found in Greece, but don’t quote me on that. I have read a little bit about how climate change may be pushing the range of spiders further north as well, which is both interesting and incredibly depressing.
We can add !buyadderall@lemm.ee to that list. I tried to report an individual post, but I’m not sure if it went through. I just got a spinning wheel when I hit submit.
Thank you for posting it, though. We don’t have these where I am and I find them so charming, like the buck-toothed cousin of the Ummidia I occasionally come across following a heavy rain.
The ones I’ve been reporting have all been lemm.ee users and it is a violation of the lemm.ee rules to use your account to advertise on lemm.ee or any other instance. I don’t know how other instances are handling it.
I actually don’t know who gets the reports I’ve been submitting, either, so I’m not sure if it’s doing anything.
