yeah yeah all social media is horrible etc. etc. but tiktok is especially bad in a key regard: due to the video format, almost everyone is showing their face. almost every video is framed by the user's physical appearance, as well as the appearance of where they're filming from (particularly the apparent wealth)
this makes tiktok incredibly hostile to anyone who doesn't fit conventional beauty norms, anyone who can be easily recognized as disabled (including through mannerisms), anyone who doesn't have those massive granite-top kitchen islands that you so often see in popular skits For Some Reason, and so on
this has even been enforced at the level of moderation and explicit policy:
TikTok’s moderators were instructed to exclude videos from the For You feed if they failed on any one of a number of categories, the documents show. Users with an “abnormal body shape (not limited to: dwarf, acromegaly),” who are “chubby … obese or too thin” or who have “ugly facial looks or facial deformities” should be removed, one document says, since “if the character’s appearance is not good, the video will be much less attractive, not worthing [sic] to be recommended to new users.” Similarly, the documents show, videos were to be removed from the feed if “the shooting environment is shabby and dilapidated”, since “this kind of environment is … less fancy and appealing”.
...but the medium of self-focused video shorts itself favors the conventionally attractive and wealthy!
meanwhile, that intense focus on personal appearance isn't actually true of Every Other Social Media. many people on tumblr, for example, do not post selfies. there are extremely popular users on here, even microcelebrities, who have never shown their faces
(instagram is more like tiktok in that regard, while twitter is arguably more like tumblr)
moreover: you do not actually have to use tiktok. you do not have to use the service that emphasizes visual appearances over all else
at this point, when I hear people complain about horrible things they've personally encountered on tiktok, my overwhelming reaction is honestly “why are you still using tiktok. you do not have to use tiktok. you are actively choosing to use tiktok, and now you're telling me about it. stop fucking using tiktok already!”

Val-Cula Daily - Doki Doki Komuri Update
Tumblr media
Last update in the Drac-log, checking in with the final plot threast of the last few days, the continuing adventures of Mina and Lucy-Chan.
Lucy arrives by train to Whitby, a seaside town in North Yorkshire. A common comment I see, and disagree with, is that the novel Dracula involves an "Old World" monster from the past entering a "new, modern world", Eastern superstition pushing into Western reason. Frankly, I find that reading to be lacking. As we saw in Jonathan's recipe-gathering travelogue, Eastern Europe is a vibrant place, just as connected to the modern world despite its remoteness and cultural distance. Likewise, in Mina's descriptions of Yorkshire, England has plenty of its own supernatural mysteries and centuries old history in play in Dracula.
Tumblr media
The Larpool Viaduct was constructed in 1884, and would be a brand new example of Victorian engineering.
Tumblr media
Whitby Abbey, described in the same paragraph, is a ruin for centuries by Stoker's time, having been built in 657 CE and confiscated by Henry VIII in 1538 CE. Like Dracula's Transylvania, drawing in contemporary law reviews and banking from all across Europe, England is a mix of the mundane and the supernatural in much the same way. Mina makes reference to a "White Lady" ghost who haunts ruins.
-------
Marmion, referenced as well, is a 1808 poem by Sir Walter Scott full of melodrama and intrigue. Per wikipedia, a summation:
The poem tells how Lord Marmion, a favourite of Henry VIII of England, lusts for Clara de Clare, a rich woman. He and his mistress, Constance De Beverley, forge a letter implicating Clare's fiancé, Sir Ralph De Wilton, in treason. Constance, a dishonest nun, hopes that her aid will restore her to favour with Marmion. When De Wilton loses the duel he claims in order to defend his honour against Marmion, he is obliged to go into exile. Clare retires to a convent rather than risk Marmion's attentions.
Constance's hopes of a reconciliation with Marmion are dashed when he abandons her; she ends up being walled up alive in the Lindisfarne convent for breaking her vows. She takes her revenge by giving the Abbess, who is one of her three judges, documents that prove De Wilton's innocence. De Wilton, having returned disguised as a pilgrim, follows Marmion to Edinburgh where he meets the Abbess, who gives him the exonerating documents. When Marmion's host, the Earl of Angus (Archibald Douglas) is shown the documents, he arms De Wilton and accepts him as a knight again. De Wilton's plans for revenge are overturned by the Battle of Flodden. Marmion dies on the battlefield, while De Wilton displays heroism, regains his honour, retrieves his lands, and marries Clare.
------
Mina meets a man in a pictureque graveyard overlooking the bay. An accent assumes. Stoker is a great writer and Dracula ages incredibly well and reads smoothly... until you meet his accents.
--------
Mina receives one of the letters, via Mr. Hawkin's, that Dracula sent out in place of Jonathan. Mina immediately questions its veracity, because Mina is the smartest character in the book and doesn't get enough credit for this. She's distracted, however, by Lucy's habit of sleep-walking.

“Pine on the Wall
The walls of Castle Auerbach (Hessen, Germany) are famous for a 300 year old pine that is growing directly on the crown of the wall. A pretty impressive tree which I've captured during pictureque frost conditions.”

@goofily said : it's rather picturesque, wouldn't you say? ( from ash! )
her legs dangle off the edge of the large rock they're perched on, overlooking the lake. he's right - the ramble is beautiful this time of year, and while they can't see any people in rowboats from this angle there are certainly people a little closer to the boathouse. "that's a good word for it. pictureque." serena lifts her cappuccino to her lips and turns her head to smile at him. "is it inspiring, mr. author?"
