When I say I don't want to have kids but I still want to be involved in their lives, this is what I mean

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

Victorian drawing of a blindfolded man with long black hair and a tight suit with red boots prancing around a stage littered by eggs.

I am literally begging you to read the very short book. that's what the book is about. that's literally what the book is about. Mary Shelley's Frabkenstein is the first book about not building the torment nexus. you're as bad as the fucking Sun. it's a short book you're supposed to be fucking journ–

Off to the local bookstore.

Gutted to learn of problematic behaviour of my favourite alternative burlesque club nights. Confidence in safe spaces for performers, organisers, and guests are why these nights are a joy.

It’s Halloween season and I have a store of eerie tales of dread, wonder, and desire that I’d love to share! 🧵

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

"For him that steals, or borrows and returns not, a book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, and all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain..."

Inscription from the library of the Monastery of San Pedro, in Barcelona.
