The SPLC has released a wonderful guide to speaking up about bigotry.
The responses are direct, gentle, and very good. It has sections for family, friends, coworkers, and self.
Please read it, please spread the link, please keep this link around as reference. Everyone needs to see this. It is very important that we arm ourselves that we may be better able to address the casual hateful speech many of us are likely to encounter.
One of the most effective tools at our disposal is protecting the area around us, and making sure that things like this said within earshot of us will not go unchallenged.
Do what you can, but also stay safe.

TOLKIEN FONTS DATABASE
This Site has many fonts, based on Tolkien’s writing and the movies. Several versions of Tengwar, Bilbo’s handwriting, Moon Runes, and various Dwarven Runes to name a few. I counted 23 fonts. All free as far as I could tell. This is the largest free database of Tolkien fonts I’ve ever found.
These download as TrueTypeFontFiles, meaning it can be incorporated into a Tumblr Theme. Instructions here and here.
Also, it can be added to your computer’s font collection to use in other things. (I do not recommend attempting to turn your homework in with these fonts. Remember, Times New Roman, not Times New Elven)
