reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

I really do think dracula daily/re: dracula is the best way to experience dracula the book, because it adds an entirely new level of horror and dread that a book can never truly achieve.
Because, instead of simply reading through the book in one go, you have to wait along with it. You get to see Jonathan express his terror in real time, and experience the dread of days going by with no news from him, wondering what could possibly be going on in the time you hear nothing.
Like it’s a level of horror of the unknown storytelling that Bram Stoker never could have imagined and it adds an entirely new experience to the story and i just think it’s neat

Man I think the time loop aspect of Dracula that Dracula Season has introduced really adds something to the tale, especially the first part of the book - the hopelessness and total sense of loss of time of Jonathan's diary, along with the ritualistic killing aspect, that Stoker really couldn't have foreseen. Jonathan is endlessly stuck in that castle, they are forever fighting this ultimate evil

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

In order to show my support for palestine, I thought I would make a post— in typical bird nerd fashion— highlighting some information about one of the many symbols of freedom for the palestinian people: the palestine sunbird.
you’ve seen this bird everywhere lately I’m sure,
so, you may be wondering.. why is this bird so important?
Tumblr media
In 2013, Israel campaigned to remove ‘palestine’ from the bird’s name. this failed, however, when the palestine wildlife society (PWS) petitioned to instead adopt it as palestine’s national bird as a direct defiance of the campaign.
in 2015, the palestine sunbird was officially declared the national bird of palestine.
the palestinian artist khaled jarrar designed a border control stamp featuring the sunbird with which he stamped passports as a cry for freedom.
Tumblr media
more recently, khaled jarrar has also created these postal stamps for the same message— in defiance of israel’s efforts to erase palestine.
Tumblr media
here you can find an incredible, short documentary detailing his work across the years to use his art as a protest against the plight of the palestinian people.
Tumblr media
another palestinian artist, rasha eleyan, uses the sunbird in her work as a motif for the strength and boldness of palestinian women:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(source)
the palestinian poet tamim al-barghouti has tied the palestine sunbird’s beauty to resilience, in saying: “whenever you face injustice or roughness, remember to defend yourself by finding beauty… document, prove, and defend it because all beauty is resistance.”
the palestine sunbird is a symbol of hope and strength. It’s a symbol of fighting back against the odds and refusal to go quietly into the night— refusal to be erased.
continue to support palestinian artists.
continue to support palestine.
raise the voices of those who now, more than ever, need to be heard.
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free.
