david j. skal's something in the blood: the untold story of bram stoker, the man who wrote dracula, on the book's reception:
One through-line in all contemporary reviews was praise to Stoker for his cleverness in juxtaposing medieval legend with up-to-date modernity. We have become so accustomed to thinking of Dracula as a "period" novel that it is easy to forget that in its time, the book was set in an immediately recognizable present day.

been reading a lot of haunted/sentient house books in the past couple years, and i've encountered 3 main types of narrative: 1) the house loves you and that's a good thing 2) the house loves you and that's a bad thing and 3) the house hates you and that's a bad thing. this leaves a gap for a potential fourth type of story-- the house hates you and that's a good thing. excited to see if hauntologists delve into this quadrant and what it looks like if they do

Female gaze directed by Lisa Rideout
I can't get these images out of my head. Was the direction "look pensive and like a painting?"

i had a dream that there was a new tamagotchi pet called "adopt-an-american" and it was exactly like a tamagotchi except it was a compressed 2bit jpeg of a real american's photo from their ID card and you had to feed them cheeseburgers and coca cola or they'd die and your face and info would go up on an electronic billboard in their home state as if you killed them for real.
only the "killed" person could kill you or harm you in any way and i thought i was safe here in canada. until i remembered i live comically close to the USA border irl. so the person whose tamagotchi i forgotchi about just. walked across

I can NOT fucking believe i am watching this shit happen in real time.
Overnight I've watched the wiki page for 4B go from a single line of text describing it as a feminist movement and four more lines beneath it explaining the rules, to now it being a several paragraph screed about how it is a terf riddled, transphobic, transwomen hating movement made intentionally and with the sole purpose to stop women from having sex with transwomen.
The article editing history shows this all being done overnight. It also shows it mostly being done by a single user who INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH has been flagged multiple times for getting into editing wars on the CIRCUMCISION and FORESKIN wiki pages!!!! You cannot make this shit up!!
American women only briefly floated the idea that they shouldn't have sex with anyone that can get them pregnant in a time where pregnancy could be a death sentence and like fucking LIGHTNING these folks come out the gate to shut it down in every way possible.
