I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved furry family member is the hardest thing. He looks like a lovely boy, the goodest of dogs. I’m sending you a huge hug.

I can’t believe that I have been lucky enough to be part of this show for two years! This Fellowship means so much to me. Their creativity, kindness, and care make @athraplay.athrabeth.com special. Thank you all for being the best, James, Velvet, Tori, Nik, Jude, and our amazing editor Tracy! 💚

Super fun Friday of #Oxonmoot! A beautiful play by dear friends, lots of wonderful talks and our trivia team, “Stupid Sexy Sauron” got a very respectable score of 81! A fantastic Friday! Too many photos to fit here but I’ll post more!

I love this design so much! I think it is magical. Like, are you walking around in Oxford or one of the great cities of Tolkien’s legendarium? Who knows! I can’t wait to give away stickers and pins that feature this design at Oxonmoot later this week! Please come find meeee! 💜

I did! I’m so sorry that I didn’t give you any! I was running around and didn’t do a great job with distributing the freebies. I still have the stickers and badges from Westmoot this year, I can mail them to you if you like! And a bracelet too if you want one! Send me a DM if you want anything! 💜

So, I’m kicking my #Oxonmoot bracelet making efforts into high gear for these last two weeks, and not to toot my own horn, but I think I have peaked with this one. 📯 I can’t wait to give this beauty to someone at Oxonmoot! If you’re going, and have a special request, let me know! 🥰

That makes sense! Thank you! I will go check for the old versions! 💜

Anyone here use Apple Music and have them switch versions of songs on your playlists? I have VERY SPECIFIC preferences for my Peter Paul and Mary playlist, and methinks Apple has been fiddling with my song versions. Not cool.

I just finished a Signum class about the Children of Húrin with Dr. Sara Brown and it was EXCELLENT! The fascinating discussion questions she posed and her encouragement made participation fun and safe. And the other students were wonderful! Thank you so much, @aranelparmadil.bsky.social! 💜

Stef Midlock @stef.athrabeth.com · 01/07/2026

I really enjoyed reading the Grey Annals for this month’s episode, however, I find it difficult to talk about this kind of big work. I’m always worried that I missed something, or that something I picked out is covered elsewhere in the legendarium. How do you keep it all organized in your mind?

Stef Midlock @stef.athrabeth.com · 23/06/2026

Tonight!!! Show and tell!!! Come to the Carrock Smial meeting on Zoom and share your favorite Tolkien treasure with us! All are welcome, 8-9 PM pacific. Can’t wait to see you and your treasures there!

Hey lovely Tolkien folks! Due to some technical difficulties, Clare let me know that The Big Read is not happening tonight as planned. Please spread the word! See you next time! 💜

Stef Midlock @stef.athrabeth.com · 15/06/2026

Agreed! It is so great! I love the simultaneous episodic freak-of-the-week feel but also the long game they are playing, it is such a fun mix. My throat hurts so much from screaming, “PATRICIA NOOO!”

I’m currently on hold, and the hold music has a not-insignificant amount of vocal scatting. Boop a doo, skoodily-bee, shoobie-doobie-doo. I’ll add my own. Meep morp.
