Kind of you to share 😊 cross-posting in multiple apps can leave one feeling a bit thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread haha. glad to pop in occasionally though!

As a Dawn, I approve and co-sign this plan.

My goals for 2026 are simple. I shall be:

1. Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn!

2. Treacherous as the Sea!

3. Stronger than the foundations of the earth!

4. All shall love the new me, and despair!

Sometimes I like to imagine Gandalf actually saying this in those exact words and I feel better for 5 minutes because I'm laughing.

reminded of the greatest tweet of all time, for some reason

Thank you!

So glad to hear it! And thanks for sharing ☺️

I don't think they know about that one, Pip.

TOLKIEN: even the TREES were evil

READER: cool

TOLKIEN: *so* evil that not even Legolas could long endure the trees

READER: oh %*$@

Yeah, it was #1 both this weekend and last, and it's made $400 million or so globally in just two weeks. It's great! And just a tad over two hours too

Kids, Superman is the number one movie in America, but you know who else was sent by his Father in the Heavens to Earth as a baby?
