i know he's evil but i do have to respect Dracula for the sheer freak factor. like the man couldn't be less normal if he tried. THERE IS NO REASON TO SCALE THE WALLS LIKE A LIZARD. YOU OWN THE CASTLE. YOU CAN WALK. but no he is a little freak at heart and must be weird as fuck at all times lest he take psychic damage. and personally i can relate.

Oh also, as a birthday present to Franz lol. You've probably all heard this quote: "Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." It's wrongly attributed to Kafka and I recently found the source.

The quote belongs to Anne Rice. She was an American author of gothic fiction, erotic literature, and bible fiction. She is best known for writing The Vampire Chronicles. She later adapted the first novel of the series into a commercially successful eponymous film, Interview with the Vampire (1994).

I found her Facebook post where she talks about her words being attributed to Franz Kafka.

how i love being a woman ♥︎

"Goddess of Beltane, Sacred Mother, Queen of May, Wild Lady of the Woods, Guardian of Love and Life, welcome to our circle. We women, powerful and sacred, declare upon this Hallowed Night, our heavenly bodies belong solely to us. We shall choose whom to love, and with whom to share trust. We shall walk upon this earth with grace and respect. We'll always take pride in our great intellect. We'll honor our emotions so our spirits may soar! And should any man belittle us, we'll show him the door! Our spirits are unbreakable, our imaginations free! Walk with us, Goddess, so blessed are we!" — by the young women of Avonlea

happy international women’s day

The right-wing media: everything is the fault of trans people (esp. trans women), disabled people, and refugees. Also more widely, all LGBT+ people and every POC who isn't a Tory party cabinet member. Oh, and also Scottish people.

Russell T Davies: here is a young trans woman of colour, a disabled scientist who's an ambulatory wheelchair user and has rockets and stun-darts in her wheelchair, and a glorious new Doctor who's played by a gay refugee originally from Rwanda. They are all unbelievably awesome and are in various ways saving the world. Any questions?

Also RTD: oh and also this other Doctor (who is played by a vocally left-wing Scottish man who's very supportive to his trans kid and is generally an LGBT+ ally) is going to demonstrate that sometimes mentally ill people need to rest rather than being constantly told that working is the cure for everything. Just so you know.

On the horniness scale, Anne and Gilbert are very horny for each other, just discreet about it. Gomez and Morticia are very horny for each other and let it be known, and Jonathan and Mina are somewhere in the middle.

New Book Club for Autumn 2023!

Announcing Wildfell Weekly, a substack read-a-long for Anne Brontë's novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall!

You must go back with me to the autumn of 1827.

A new tenant has taken up residence in old Wildfell Hall and Mr. Gilbert Markham finds himself very intrigued. But the widow Mrs. Helen Graham is more than what she seems, and as rumors about her start to fly, she reveals to a doubting Gilbert the truth about the disastrous marriage she left behind.

Anne Brontë differed from her sisters Charlotte (Jane Eyre) and Emily (Wuthering Heights) in favoring a Realist rather than Romantic approach to her writing. In Tenant she explored themes of domestic violence, alcoholism and addiction, gender relations, motherhood and marriage, and the ability of women to define their own lives with an unflinching desire to depict what she saw to be true. While now considered among the first feminist novels, critics of Anne's day were shocked by a book they found coarse, brutal, and overly graphic.

So starting October 26, 2023 and until June 10, 2024, let's read together a story one nineteenth century critic called "utterly unfit to be put in the hands of girls"!

Princess Anne she's so beautiful when she was young

“He's just the same as he has always been,'” she says. “As a very little boy, he was very much like he is now, just a smaller version.”

Like any good mother, though, Anne doesn't favour either of her two children ahead of the other. Harry's older sister Gemma, 32, is a writer and podcaster and herself has more than nine million Instagram followers.

“I'm very proud of both Harry and his older sister Gemma and the adults they've become,” she stresses. “They're both really hard working, they've got good morals and they're kind people.”

“I know it sounds like a dreadful cliche but as long as they're happy, that's the most important thing.”

What's clear today is that behind the enormous star lies a tight-knit family. “Oh yes, we're all close, it's just geography,”says Anne. “We all see each other when we can.”

"Weyr of the White" Loosely inspired by one of my favorite book series' growing up, the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne (And now Todd) McCaffrey. If you're not familiar, I can't possibly recommend it enough for a unique dash of 90s/00s sci-fi/fantasy.
