In 2015, the UK was ranked 1st place, rated 86% for LGBT+ human rights in Europe. Today the UK is in 22nd place, with 46% just ten years later.
When you make jokes about TERF Island and it being some sort of karma for lost empires well maybe take a second to remember people live here. Your friends live here. We cannot escape. There is no where some of us can legally go. We are scared . A 40% drop. 40. How quickly this country has unravelled is deeply horrifying to many.
To my queer brothers and sisters and siblings, hold on. We can make it.

I think a fundamental difference between book Dracula and Nosferatu is how the protagonists work as a collective. In Dracula, they are the Scooby Gang (trusting, collaborative, polyamorous). In Nosferatu, they are the teens from an 80s slasher (suspicious, deceitful, jealous). The count can be defeated, but only the power of friendship can save Mina.

Remmick, Ryan Coogler's vampire in Sinners, is written so well. You have a white, Irish vampire from the time of the colonization of Ireland by the english who is trying to deal with his own loss and 'hunger'. He wants to use Sammie. He wants to take away Sammie's music, his tradition and to use it for his own gain.
We have one more white oppressor who presents himself as a saviour. He inflitrates a black community, coming with the promise of... equality, community and freedom from death. But those promises come to fruition in a very specific manner. Remmick is the leader, for all the equality he promises. HE is the one who sets the tune the rest are singing. HE is the one whose pain is felt by every member of this 'community'. Every person that is turned connects to him in a hive-mind of collective memory and experience that HE controls and is able to use to his own convenience. Moreover, this is a collective that does not exclude the KKK-alligned family that was part of the plan to slaughter an entire black community.
Remmick represents a seemingly politically correct, predominantly white globalization. He presents himself as well-intended. He may even BELIEVE that he is. But what he offers is the death of individuality, of culture and tradition.
Okay so Victorian erotica is literally the most heinous, morally bankrupt, horrific shit I've ever read - but I've read a fair bit, partly from historical interest but also because a while back I helped a friend with a university project she was doing about censorship and pornography in 19th century England.
Anyway I need to share with you all the most hilarious line that has ever been written, circa 1887:
Ever since I was a little girl Iβve loved information
wait. do terfs not know that feminizing hrt causes breast tissue to grow. do they think that every single trans woman with any sort of chest got implants. do they not realize that literally anyone with breast tissue can induce lactation. what. huh
well the thing about terfs is that they don't know anything, so jot that down
