But in any of the stories, have you heard of an elf falling in love with a hobbit?

a tall black female elf with a leaf crown and long curly white hair has her hand cusped on the face of a white hobbit with red hair pulled back into a loose bun. A shy/bashful look is shared between them.

If you're a Tolkien fan, you won't find a podcast that puts more love, lore, and knowledge into such a lovely story.

Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.

And where joy can’t be found, we create it.

That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

Dear Tolkien Fans: Black People Exist - The Public Medievalist

Tolkien fan communities can be hostile places for Black fans. Just because Tolkien's work has white supremacy embedded in it does not mean that fans should embrace or replicate it.

my set-up sounds great (so I've heard!) courtesy of @podcast.athrabeth.com ! It's an electro-voice RE20 mic that's fed through a Focusrite Scarlet Solo and Cloudlifter.
