Everything about this was amazing—10/10. Such a beautiful analysis of Tolkien paired with insightful advice for what it can teach us about our own "such times." Thank you so much for crafting this piece!
I fully deleted my social media accounts (Meta platforms + X) in January and feel like my brain is slowly rewiring itself. Like you, I've found Discord to be a great alternative! It provides the community I miss without the imperative to churn out content.
I loved this. Beyond the resonance and timeliness of it all, as someone who hasn’t watched LOTR in at least a decade, you’ve also inspired me to go back and dig deeper. I know what I’m doing this weekend. Thank you for writing this. We need it.
i love the suggestion to get rid of Meta. I believe that company is deeply evil, from the way it treats its employees to the algorithm designed to steal our time and sell it to advertisers.
oh my god jo this is so brilliant i am sharing everywhere
Jeanna thank you sooooo much, this made my day
