  1. Progress on #PixelSmaug, now 2/3 into page 2 and some into page 3 as well. 50 shades of white 😵‍💫 I treated myself to a gorgeous needle minder by Awesome Pattern Studio.

  2. I FINISHED PAGE ONE!! Appart from the missing floss, but pssshhh. That pattern is confetti hell 😵‍💫 I even invested in a markup app, something I usually never do, but I was getting so cross eyed looking for the stitches in the pattern. #PixelSmaug #crossStitch #xstitch #fiberart #smaug #tolkien @fiberarts erart

  3. I continued on #PixelSmaug in the last couple days and I go nuts 🫠 it's just pure confetti!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! But at least I get closer to finishing page 1. Of 12 🥲 #CrossStitch #xstitch #embroidery #fiberart #tolkien #smaug #dragon

  4. I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

    #Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

    Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

    Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

    "My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

  5. Wishing it were a Smaug check that I just got done, instead of a smog check. Would have been more exciting! 🤪 #smaug

  6. Just casually trying to video some fresh tiktok stuff on why the security awareness industry needs to take a long hard look at itself and Sméagol is repeatedly bombing into me. I have no use able takes and have decided that Sméagol cuddles are way more important. Especially as I had a nice LinkedIn comment battle about how public WiFi is fine and people who can't do risk assessments and only want to do 'awareness' are the problem.
    Smaug has decided that ekekeking the pigeon is more important than anything and Gimli wants cuddles but keeps being bapped by Sméagol
