Hey I was wondering: about Dracula daily :

I know about the novel but every one is so in sink and talking about dates and all. Is there a new adaptation or something I missed ? Or does Tumblr just have a hivemind and decided to read the same book at the same paste at the same time?

Google wasn't of any help on this one.

ik you sent another ask saying you found it but i’m posting this for people who don’t know

SO

dracula daily is basically the book Dracula by Bram Stoker delivered to your email bit by bit. the dates you get the email are the same dates on the entries. here just have screenshot from the website

ITS AMAZING it’s fun to read it with so many people as it happens!! you can go to the archive and scroll down to may 3 and catch up!!!

here’s a link: https://draculadaily.substack.com/

I think I followed you because of a She-ra relative post but I don't remember which one exactly.

Let’s go sword lesbians 😌💖

I always thought nb or genderfluid people were valid. But now I'm wondering if I am, I see every argument like nonsense. Like it suddenly became bullshit. Can you please tell me wrong ?

Genderfluidity is so hella valid!!

Fuck knows gender is such a weird as hell social construct anyway, of course there are people that aren’t gonna fit into a single place on the spectrum 100% of the time.

I'm so sad about what is happening with the She-Ra crew. Noelle Stevenson and Rebecca Sugar were my new roles models since J.K.R. But I'm not a native speaker and I don't understand half of the controversy. What is the "d-slur" and why is it bad to use this word ? And the racist joke that is referred is about someone in the crew that made a pun about one of bow's brother being called "sow" and Google translate just tells me it's a female pig so what about slavery ? Is it a racial slur ?

About my ask earlier, I found out "d-slur" stand for "dyck" which is a negative term for tomboy and that only lesbians are allowed to use. "Sow" in this context refer to sowing which is mean planting seeds and can be offensive because it was what a lot of slaves did during slavery. (I didn't find if it was used as a slur (outside of the pig related female slur) or a misplaced pun about the farmer brother of Bow.)

I trust people concerned about the offensiveness but I might not be the only not native confused about what is problematic and I think a bit of context can help.

sorry i didn’t see this sooner! but here are two links that may help you and others understand why what was said was wrong:

a wikipedia article explaining what the d slur is as well as it’s origins

a post explaining the steroetypes and historical context that makes the “sow” joke racist
