Do things with fear. And make that phone call. Make that video call. Reach out to that person you have been meaning to. Go inside that store that intimidates you for some reason. Put your hand up and give your opinion if you have something to say. Literally, do it even with the fear, otherwise you never will. I'm holding your hand and rooting for you. GO GO GO.
intricate rituals etc...
Is ... Is this meant to be sexy?
“Today, the fields of queer and trans history are still in the process of finding ways to talk about gender and sexuality diversity among Native people in a way that is neither appropriative nor exotifying. Here I am trying to tell the story of Ozaawindib’s life, not as a way to show the myriad possibilities of gender and sexuality among “primitive” peoples, as some white queer writers have done. Nor am I telling her story so it can be used as a sort of precursor or opening scene which non-Native queer people can inherit after Native people seemingly vanish from the dominant narrative of history. I am sharing her story simply because it is an apt demonstration of how gender diverse Native people were important actors in North American history. Ozaawindib’s story reveals important historical realities of queer, trans, and/or Two-Spirit experiences in North America, especially relating to the process of colonization and the erasure of people who did not conform to the accepted dominant standards of gender and sexuality.[i] Both her story and its subsequent narrative fracturing are symptomatic of larger trends in the history of North American queer, trans, and Two-Spirit peoples.”

I didn't clock the body language in the first pic as aggressive on a quick scroll, I thought it was a cute noses-touching pic. The second pic came along and just burgled my bones.
And like, I was chuckling I realized that in the first pic they are right in each other's faces MOANING FURIOUSLY in that horrible way territorial cats do, which struck me as really funny. Then I laughed harder because they're nose to nose like the enemies-to-lovers trope. I started wheezing as I looked at the second pic some more, with the cow cat just BODY SLAMMING the ginger in the stupidest-looking way. Almost got it together when I suddenly thought "This is how ridiculous those super intense cat fights in the Warriors series would actually look like." I didn't start to cry until my brain reached "Bro got pushed too far and fuckin buttered that Jorts."
RIP.
This came up a lot in last year's Dracula Daily, so I thought I might head off some misconceptions now!
The average woman in the 1890s first married shortly before turning 24, and the average man first married at the age of 25. So on average, couples had a small age gap; much the same average as today, when women first marry at 30 and men shortly before turning 32. (Source - note that the first graph is about the USA, where women typically got married younger.)
Upper-class women got married a bit younger than working-class women did, but they were still generally aged between 18 and 25. (Source). I read last year that 21 was average in the 1890s (having risen from 18 earlier in the century) but unfortunately can't find that source.
So 19-year-old Lucy considering proposals from financially secure men aged up to 29 would be completely normal. We might find the ten-year age gap between her and Seward a bit concerning, but a Victorian audience absolutely wouldn't.
first time following dracula daily is so fucking funny because every day i wake up to a new email and i’m like “oh great, wonder how my good friend jonathan harker is doing?” and i open it and jonathan harker is sweating bullets in his room as he writes in his diary shit like “today dracula’s head spun 360 degrees so i gave him a thumbs up. i fear this is my last entry and i am inconsolable”
the new pornbots’ url game is INSANE. complicit-rotting and warmmourning you would have done numbers if you were real
in every workplace there should be a secret button you can press and if everyone presses it the workweek immediately ends and you can go outside and play instead of sending email
ok i made this post and this afternoon our server locked us out and i spent the rest of the day shooting the shit with my coworkers outside in perfect spring weather. i do believe in magic but mostly i believe in the secret button
i miss when bots had urls like "jenny0047194" or "s8znmia802ng". i just blocked one with the url "evilpond" and i think it is really fucked up that they are able to take these wonderful urls away from all of the real people who might want them
