More of a protest slogan, actually. From the Mumsnetters of Rivendell.

I keep trying to stop, but then I thought about a suffragette colour scheme. Also on a mug.

The gerbils are tired but they still keep going.

Gefa Mumsnetters of Rivendell þýðingu einhvers staðar, jafnvel í einkaskilaboðum? Google myndaleit finnur ekki lausn. Öfug þýðing í gegnum Tengwar-umritara er að aukast með bulli. Ég veit ekki einu sinni hvort ég sé að nota rétta mállýsku frá réttu tímabili í sögu Miðjarðar hvort sem er. Ég þarf að halda áfram með daginn og er farin að þjást af FOMO. Vinsamlegast hjálpið. ❤

I've had a go at the tengwar with paper and pencil but can't make it out.

TengwarFOMOSupportGroup · 29/04/2024 11:00

At least we know we are not alone.

DrSoupDragonsFriend · 29/04/2024 11:09

I'm baffled as well. It's because it's an image not a string of text which can easily be copied and automatically translated.

@DrSoupDragonsFriend It’s worrying how reliant we’ve become on online translators on this thread. @Chersfrozenface ’s idea of going back to pencil and paper is the only option.
I need to get back to work.

Krosspóstað! Frábært. Þakka þér fyrir.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/04/2024 12:04

@NewNameIRL Sorry to put you to all that effort. Especially as the orcs are so troublesome at this time of year - I'm sure you have better things to do.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/04/2024 12:06

@NewNameIRL Another x post! Oops.

  1. I probably should have sent that from the official group address! I'll keep the group open just in case there are any more Tengwar crises in the future.
  2. I needed an excuse to procrastinate. (Hopefully avoiding another crossposting this time!!!)

PS. Orcs, AIFL - doesn't stop does it?!
