the absolute contrast between most of the dracula daily content and mina's entries...

renfield and seward: stuck with each other (we're sposed to feel sorry for seward i think? but renfield is just vibing in a damn lunatic asylum and seward is a self-important jackass, so, you know. fuck him. i hope renfield feeds his corpse to some flies.)

captain of the demeter: his men are disappearing and he's facing imminent mutiny

jonathan harker: literally battling the forces of hell for his life and soul

mina: ahhhhh holidaying at the yorkish seaside is so pleasant! 😊 the scenery fulfills the soul! 😊 i tried to get one of the old locals to tell me a spooky story but he preferred to go home for tea haha, so quaint

also mina: i met my darling lucy at the station 😊😊😊 and let me just tell you, diary, that girl of mine looking fine af

okay so it IS about being told not to waste your youth being sad and it IS about the reminders-of-an-unsatisfying-life kind of insomnia and it IS about grieving what feels like a death and the kind of desperation of just being unable to accept something to a VERY throwback kind of sound I'm doing great guys :D

#does luke actually have a garden because i'm hiding in it #what a time to try not to get too parasocial and emotionally dependent #i'm gonna jump on a train right now and swim the length of the hawesbury river. this song feels nostalgic for its banks #bet it's not even gonna be the saddest song of the ep and there are only 7 of them :D #luke hemmings #close my eyes #boy ep

in the seemingly endless wake of "your fave is problematic" moral posturing i cannot emphasize enough that everything i don't like is because i think it sucks. nothing to do with morality. i just think it sounds and/or looks bad.

#if they also happen to be a shitty person (rivers cuomo) then that's just a bonus for my own self righteousness #there are wayyyyy more things (musicians) that i think suck but that i don't talk about cos u all like them. the ones i #actually complain about are the exceptions #for example i could talk about how [loud train goes by] sounds like doodoo. but i won't #text

I had a lot of weird dreams last night for whatever reason, but in one of them I was a kid who accidentally fell of a cliff into the river, and managed to paddle to and climb onto a rock at the bottom of the steep bank.

Then an emu came wading over to me and started curiously pecking me and trying to steal my buttons 😂

#later I was an eagle swooping and flying above the river between the sand cliffs #but I kept running into power lines that just appeared out of nowhere #then all these weird castles appeared on the cliffs and when I landed on one it was filled with a bunch of traps #and statues all came to life and started chasing me which was scary #I've actually been there in a dream before so I got out a lot faster lol #then there was another dream about swim training at the local pool for the school swim carnival #and I got told off for basically swimming too fast and disrupting the other kids #there was definitely another dream that I think had the Joker in it but it was super disjointed and weird #not sure what's happening to my brain rn but I don't think it's great #dream diary

they r soooo. anyway

#lol um anyway . i kissed them for the first time yesterday but it literally feels like a yr ago but it also feels like today #on a bridge at night against a cityscape. river looked like a painting...etc it was nice . and then. yh theres a lot to talk abt #so i dont wanna say it all rn bc im tired but yeah. they r . sooo. pretty cool etc etc. whatever im fine im just . angry that i dont get to #see them that often bc they live in a diff city etc. also took them to a spot which usually is like . relatively busy bc london is busy all #the time but it was cold and it was at night so there were like 0 people there. the view was so good but other things were better #also kissing smn w a vertical labret is actually just >>> #lol en ee way i miss them #im soo overwhelmed w life rn and theyre not rly helping but like. in a good way #i told my friend to lmk if he notices that im becomjng too engaged w romance to the point where im neglecting academics #and he immidiately said it. like according to him im thinking abt her too much when i should be thinkint abt philosophy too much #which is like. idk if that's true bc ik he has a rly skewed perspective bf he kind of swore off datint #etc but at the same time . wbat if hes right. omg. but also let me have this Moment #that was last week when i was forcefully taken to manchester by a university society . like we hadnt even kissed yet #i fell asleep bc ive been so exhausted and when i woke up i realised they briefly appeared in a dream i had #and then i started tearing up out of Fear bc like . whenever ive lost smn i loved the dreams were the worst #like . good dreams. were horrible. and now its like what if this turns out horrible ? but i dont wanna self sabotage bc i rly rly rly like #them . i gave them a rose and on the train home i could stop staring at their hands holding the rose #and i know theyve liked me for months and i know theyve been waiting for months but somehow its still like #what if it just fades. whatever happens happens ig. i took them a leaf compressed in a poetry book from #a book shop we found on our second date tgth. they gave me a necklace w a small vial and a tiny flower inside #its so pretty. thinking abt the way they put it on me + when they wrapped their arms around me when i was cooking for them etc etc #im FINE its FINE its OKAY . whatever !!!!! #[chroma blue]

i love you river i love you pond i love you ocean i love you lake i love you stream i love you rain filled puddle i love you bog i love you brook i love you spring i love you body of water

#posts with a target audience of bezzies 🥰 actually NOT av bc they dont even appreciate their american great lakes 🙄 #thought of this post on the train cause its ass hot and i was on the train (it was ass hot) and it was going over the river

The three have such fascinating villain potential by this point in Po3 tbh. Jayfeather doesn't like StarClan and they can't control him, Lionblaze has a big ego and is quick to violence, Hollyleaf has a desire for power and respect. They could have been a seriously dangerous combo. No wonder StarClan was scared lol.

#dark river is the book that makes this really apparent to me #especially for the boys #especially for lionpaw bc he is out of control in that book. he knows he's breaking rules but he justifies it instead of owning up to it #and when hollypaw confronts him about it he turns violent and scares her #he attacks her for real during a training session and pins her down and claws her til she bleeds just bc she annoyed him #when he falls behind in his training bc he's meeting heatherpaw at night instead of sleeping #ashfur scolds him and lionpaw immediately starts yelling at him and calling him a terrible mentor #lionpaw knows he's in the wrong but won't admit it. he doubles down and blames everyone else instead. #he reminds me so much of brambleclaw actually

How many weeks into a job would it be appropriate to start wearing my wataei itabag to the office?

#i can already see myself from a stranger's perspective #taking the train between my city and the capital every day going to my creative industry job in the pretty house by the river #maybe going to premiers of films the company worked on (i stalked my supervisors on linkedin) #i always struggle with stepping more and more into becoming an adult. i feel like i havent grown since i was 18 #but i have. and then i regressed. but now im going to start going forward again #right? #i want to believe it will all work out well so badly #im afraid to talk about it too much in case i jinx it #but im really...from an outsiders view in im really happy. i dont know how ill feel until i actually start though #i am scared what if they just felt bad rejecting me. which isnt what you should think when you get a job #but it just seems too good to be true

I can't believe that we're only half-way through February 2023 and so much crazy stuff has already happened this year.

And yet I'm also not at all because I honestly believe these are the "birth pains" the Bible talked about.

And because 2022 was getting so weird, I figured 2023 would probably be the same way and worse. Like, that we'd get more of the same (and maybe more intense things? And perhaps stranger?) and maybe even in faster intervals. (And that also goes hand-in-hand with the Bible mentioning the "birth pains", and how like a woman in labor they would become more frequent and painful.)

#only half-way through february and we have this whole train derailment issue #america being surrounded by war submarines #constant threats of nuclear war/us being on the verge of wwiii (though that was starting towards the end of 2022) #all these ufo sightings. and a senator. after two briefings about them. saying we should all lock our doors #zombies or a zombie disease actually being discovered or something like that #israel being a ticking time bomb when it comes to war (though that might fit into my talk about us being on the verge of wwiii). along with #the chinese spy balloon thing. and other countries having tension with each other #like the whole russia and ukraine war #two hours ago a meteorite shook texas i guess #the earthquake in syria and turkey #i'm probably forgetting things #oh! and the euphrates river caught on fire!

breaking down sobbing because i just realized one of my books is missing (i'm autistic and books are my special interest. this is actually going to break me)

had a momentary obsession that i shall ramble about in the tags

#doing research on this old abandoned bridge that my younger brother's airsoft team used to cross for their campaigns #just on the edge of a nearby town and literally falling apart #and anyway found out some really interesting things today! #there is only one resident remaining on the other side of the bridge; he actually fell through the thing about 5 years ago #he caught himself though so he didn't land in the VERY deep and COLD mountain creek below #he doesn't qualify for any kind of land/property/fire insurance because literally no one can reach his trailer from the other side #the bridge was built in 1917 and there were at least 10 other homes on the other side & a town dump further along the road #(i explored a little over there once with sky; i got the 'grand tour' with him & said sole resident [sky & co's friend]) #the same town used to have at least five different train routes #the same town had TROLLEYS?!? #i knew they had a canal system (i've explored some of that before) and only half the train tracks are abandoned but like #TROLLEYs?!?!? #they were there as late as the tail end of the 1950s WHY did you GET RID of THEM?! #i found a lot of local history blogs and just- #it was all so pretty and there were more bridges across the three rivers i'm- #i'm so sad because we had all this beautiful public transit and it's just Gone now #anyway~ #i got my answers as to WHY the bridge went into disrepair anyway: the town shut down the dump (not quite sure yet why)- #and put most of the land- and the connecting bridge- up for sale #sky's buddy mike did NOT sell his property but all others had either passed on or moved away #the lawyer who bought the parcel- one of those local families that thinks they're hot shit because they're wealthy- decided to neglect it #cue several really intense floods in the early-to mid 2000s and the base of the bridge is basically shambles #the trellises are still there but literally it barely supports any weight these days; mike had it patched up with ramshackle wood beams #and some plywood; i remember crossing it around... 2018-ish? and there were just whole patches where there was nothing at all between #you and the water. skyler led the way across; the airsoft team had spraypainted the spots where the wood was safest to cross #but yeah in case anyone's curious what ace did today during their downtime at work now you know #history shit #shut up ace

i get asked so often why i walk fast that i've been forced to actually consider it and come to the conclusion that having a preference for heavy boots with steel toes and chunky platform heels has forced me to compensate in order to keep up with other people to the point that it's done some rock lee training weights shit to me. if the mafia strapped cinderblocks to my feet and threw me in the river to sleep with the fishes i could probably swim to shore just fine.

[leaving-fragments]

felt pretty pathetic for taking a way earlier train home and not exploring the city like i had planned, but now i'm home before the originally planned train has even left and i'm so glad i'm here and not there... sometimes giving up is a kindness to yourself

#especially since i didn't rlly lose much #i fell asleep on the train or just mindlessly stared out the window... i would not have had fun forcing myself through museums or shops #i looked at the cathedral and the one bridge and that was enough #i mean c'mon i spent the last hour walking along the river just wishing i could curl up in bed already #it was a good decision!! not a failure!! it was a win actually - i recognised my needs and acted upon them #even though i had to buy a second train ticket and can't refund the other one 🥲🥲 #i might've have spent the money treating myself to coffee and cake anyway... i just try to see it as treating myself to getting home early #emma talks

re: ohio chemical disaster

OP of the post I reblogged earlier regarding this turned off reblogs (understandable have a nice day) but I got a request to put the information in its own post, so here.

First thing: PLEASE be careful about claims that "The Media" is suppressing something as part of a malicious agenda, or that an event has been purposefully manufactured by "The Media" to distract from something else.

Not only is this a really common disinformation tactic (not only urging you to share/reblog quickly, but discouraging you from fact checking), treating "The Media" as a monolithic entity with purposeful agency and a specific, malicious agenda—particularly one that manufactures events to "distract" from other events—is a red flag for conspiracy theories.

There's already a post in the tag attributing the supposed lack of media coverage to "reptilians." Please connect the dots here.

Second—"the news isn't focusing on this as much as I think they should" is not a media blackout. Every major USA news source is reporting on the Ohio train derailment. Googling returns at least 4 pages of results from major news media sources. Even just googling "Ohio" gets you plenty of results about it.

This is an unusual amount of media attention for a U.S. environmental disaster.

Because this kind of thing happens all the damn time.

The "media blackout" narrative gives the impression that this is an unusual event that isn't receiving wall to wall coverage only because it's being suppressed—when the reality is that similar disasters happen a lot, and hardly ever get the attention the Ohio disaster is getting.

Consider this example, not too far from my local area: A few years ago, almost 2,000 tons of radioactive fracking waste were illegally dumped in an Eastern Kentucky municipal landfill, directly across from a middle school. Leachate from that landfill goes into the Kentucky River, which is where most of the central part of the state gets its drinking water. As far as we know, the radioactive waste isn't leaking yet, but it could start leaking at any time.

Zero national news sources covered this. Why? If I was to hazard a guess, I would say "because it's business as usual for the fossil fuel industry."

Consider also the case of Martin County, KY, which has had foul-smelling, contaminated drinking water for decades. Former coal country in Appalachia is poisoned and toxic, and laws have little power to punish the companies that created the destruction.

What happened in Ohio is just a little window into a whole world of horrors.

The Martin County coal slurry spill that is still poisoning the water 20 years later killed literally everything in the water for miles downstream (a book Mom read said 70 miles of the Ohio river were made completely lifeless). It was 30 times larger than the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, and it was in some sense "covered up"—in the sense that the Bush administration shut down the investigation because the Republicans are buddies with the fossil fuel industry, and proceeded to relax regulations even further.

Seriously, read that wiki article to get pissed enough to eat glass.

Hopefully the Ohio chemical spill will inspire real action to institute regulations to prevent shit like this from ever happening again. It's not the end of the world. It's not radically different from what industries have been causing the whole damn time. It is pretty bad.

I would urge everyone to actually search up information about it instead of getting news from Tiktok or Twitter, because the more false information gets distributed, the less momentum any effort to respond with improved regulations and changes to prevent future disasters will have. Plenty of facts here *are* public and being publicly discussed and pretending that they're not is actively detrimental.
