@19thcenturyem most of it comes from what GPs tell us too. Been fighting for 8 years and just been told last week i have a gigantic cyst on my ovary that they’re gonna need to biopsy. But the last 3 doctors i went to told me that i just needed to find better ways to cope with ‘period pain’

i can’t kill myself because what if someday they make an extremely good, extremely gothic, gory, sapphic and explicit carmilla movie

Don’t get me wrong, i’m not a fan of war poetry but Rudyard Kipling’s poetry is severely underrated and seeing people with no literary background picking up on how the trailer reads the poem in beats of 4 instead of 2 to make it less like marching and more like a slog is so cool!

Seeing people creatively engage with poetry on TikTok because of the 28 Years Later trailer is making my heart happy.

@VictorianMasc i see this tweet on my instagram at least twice a week. I feel as though i’m being haunted by it.

@Rossobus I’ve had to get 3 taxis this week because your buses don’t turn up which makes the next one too busy so that usually just drives straight past. This has cost me an extra £15 in one week. How is it fair to make people choose between losing money or being late to work?

This is the first example of healthy OCD discourse i’ve seen on this app

This review got me giggling and kicking my feet more than i already was for this film

NOSFERATU is a hypnotic, psychosexual nightmare. Lily-Rose Depp gives a showstopping performance, bolstered by a fantastic Nicholas Hoult.

Bill Skarsgård is incredible and unrecognizable as Count Orlok, his take drawing more from the perverted romance of this dark fable.

hey so i think it’s less of a “male loneliness” epidemic and more of a “young men becoming nazis at a concerningly high rate” epidemic
