Hate the way the word racist has lost all of its weight in the last decade because I would really like some of y'all to take it completely seriously when I say you have lost your damn minds and become really nasty and hateful and for your own good you need to log off to go touch some grass and reconnect with the decency you once had

Bringing this back because seriously some of you guys have gotten way too comfortable saying the most out of pocket shit. I get that you don't want to play the lefty censorship game but there's a lot of room to call it like it is without resorting to outright racism or misogyny.

Until a couple years ago, you were perfectly capable of finding a happy medium there. Please find it again because I don't really want to be around some of you these days.

whenever i look into a historical monarch who doesn’t get talked about much and is just kind of a blank spot in my understanding of the historical narrative, 95% of the time what i find is pure white hot blistering capability. a pencil pusher for the ages. a 39 year reign with no more than three hours of sleep a night. there aren’t any good stories from his reign because he systematically caught and stopped all catastrophic good stories before they could start. you shrimply must respect it

What if I told you Dracula is absolutely a love story but not in the way its always been portrayed. It's about a love between two people strong enough that they'd follow each other to hell and back. A love between friends that survives rejection and some heartbreak. A love between a mentor and his mentee. Love is what drives them all to take the actions they do that lead to them defeating Dracula, and it's so much more than the dark romance that it's been marketed as for such a long time.

I also remembered last night that C.S. Lewis briefly sought answers in the occult when he was an atheist, which suggests to me that Uncle Andrew represents what his gnostic curiosity could have led him to become, while Professor Kirke represents what his sanctified curiosity made him
