fascinating to me how quickly we forget that the cycles repeat. people treating 5-15 year olds like this breed of superchild created to do evil and taint the world. that was all of us. "they're wrecking sephoras" you would not survive a 2015 hot topic with this mindset. "they're falling for the stanley cup thing" buying on trend overly robust camping gear for every day use is like. a middle class tradition in this country. our glorious kånken backpack vs their wicked stanley cup.

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

which dracula characters do you see having pets (arthur's hunting terriers aside) after the events, and what kind?

I realised when I got this ask that I didn't know much about Victorian and Edwardian pet preferences. It looks like they had mostly dogs and cats, plus some birds (especially canaries and budgies, but sometimes people would also take a fledgling native bird from the nest and raise it as a pet), and then assorted others like tortoises, ferrets, rats and beetles, but not modern-day small pets like hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs.

Sometimes they even listed them on the census. Humorist the tortoise from Leyton is my personal favourite.

On the Dracula front, this is probably my personal bias at play, but I can't see Jonathan and Mina as anything other than cat people at heart. They start off getting one kitten as a mouser and wind up with a variety of miscellaneous strays.

Arthur has a collection of Dogs With Jobs, but after the events of Dracula, the terriers specifically are allowed to sleep inside in front of the fire. And occasionally at the foot of the bed.

Van Helsing rescued an injured bird and now he keeps it as a pet. I imagine this being something extremely ordinary, like a sparrow. Van Helsing is convinced it's vastly more intelligent that the average sparrow, and that it understands all of his commands. It doesn't.

Jack thinks that pets are unsanitary and quietly disapproves of Jonathan and Mina's cats. But over the course of the summer post-Dracula, one of the cats that the asylum has for pest control decides that his office is its new home, and eventually Jack gives in and lets it stay.

update, he's two and a half weeks old now and emotionally attached to a microwaveable unicorn teddy.

his leg joints on his right side are swollen, but should get better with time, exercise and antibiotics. he had a check up at the vet's yesterday and had five veterinary students fawning over him, the little charmer.

meet Pedro, our premature bottle baby living in a bucket in the living room 😅

i don’t think rpf is bad bc like 81 year old paul mccartney would have to take so many specific steps in order to find and read beatles fanfiction that i feel like any exposure to it would be his fault. not to mention that he would probably like it

#when they referenced the goddamn hat fic in the cards against humanity video i nearly screamed #who the fuck exposed them to that??

Propaganda

Irene Papas (Tribute to a Bad Man, Electra, Zorba the Greek)—"From the opening shot of Michael Cacoyannis's Electra, as the proud, implacable face emerges from encroaching shadows, it becomes impossible to imagine anyone else as Euripides's heroine. Erect, immutably dignified, dark eyes burning fiercely beneath heavy black brows, Irene Papas visibly embodies the sublimity of classical Greece, tragic yet serene." -Philip Kemp (film critic) Also she's a a badass.

Vivien Leigh (Gone with the Wind, A Streetcar Named Desire)—Leigh is exceptionally beautiful. To quote Garson Kanin, Leigh was "a stunner whose ravishing beauty often tended to obscure her staggering achievements as an actress. Great beauties are infrequently great actresses—simply because they don't need to be. Vivien was different; ambitious, persevering, serious, often inspired." She was an actor's actor, one of those big old-school theatre dames, full of drama and temper.

This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Irene Papas:

An amazing actress and singer, some may say a literal Greek goddess. Fought against military dictatorship in her home country and had an affair with Marlon Brando.

She literally played Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world in Greek mythology, what more could you want

Vivien Leigh propaganda:

"I submit this gifset--help she is so beautiful and tragic"

"Extremely versatile, absolutely beautiful features and a wonderful resting bitch face if needed."

"She has such a range of character types that she could fit any favorite type of woman. And have you seen her in the Red Dress? with her cocked eyebrow???"

[Linked GwtW gifset]

"She played one of the most famously unlikable characters in cinema history and knocked it out of the park."

"Vivien Leigh vs every established and wannabe actress on Earth- grand slam winner for Scarlett O'Hara and won the oscar. Ultimate power couple with hottie finalist Laurence Olivier. I am just on my knees for that arched eyebrow and smouldering look."

"She’s just mmm the PASSION behind her performances is palpable, she’s so beautiful and elegant and amazing and yeah"

"look at her. im a gay man and im in love with her"
