Gandalf never had this kind of problem. He had exactly this problem, actually, standing in front of the hidden Dwarf door to Moria. Remember when . . . I sighed.

I guessed the Corpsetaker had never read Tolkien. Tasteless bitch. ↗

I think that would be ungrateful if I were upset because I'm seen as attractive or sexy. That's opened so many doors for me in my life. ↗

Instead of hoping that some day the boys' club will open its doors, we can form our own clubs, define 'worthy' our own way, and celebrate the books and voices that we decide deserve celebration. ↗
