Content warning racial & reproductive justice in the US, how to help

Black women in the South have been bracing for Roe's fall for decades: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/black-women-south-bracing-roes-fall-decades-rcna27097

if you live in a state that still has access to abortion, especially if that access seems pretty secure for now, consider becoming a regular donor to a reproductive justice organization in the South, such as those mentioned in this article:

Content warning Dracula Daily, Lucy's second letter, mild spoilers

Lucy Westenra, losing my love with her racisms and her "why are men so noble when we women are so little worthy of them?" blaaargh

...and then gaining it back with "Why can't they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble?"

#DraculaDaily & #SynchronousEmma & #WhaleWeekly readers, here's another of these:

"Letters from Watson will let you read through the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes short stories over the course of one year via bitesize emails... Emails will begin January 1st 2023. I’ve chosen this date to avoid conflicting with other ‘daily email literature’ projects, and because it is the date when all Sherlock Holmes stories will be in the public domain in the US for the first time!"

Content warning Dracula Daily, food

the ongoing Paprika Discourse™️ on Tumblr has produced this gem of a theory:

#DraculaDaily

screenshot of a tumblr post from curlicuecal:

"has anyone considered that maybe Jonathan's food wasn't spicy because of the specific type of paprika, or because he was English, maybe it was spicy because the concerned villagers were trying to stuff raw garlic into him any way they could manage"

okay, so if you're enjoying #DraculaDaily, consider this: what if we read Moby Dick on the dates it occurs, over the course of... three years? 👀

we didn't have sun today, but we had poppies, and that was a pretty good substitute

#florespondence

a bright orange poppy, wide open and beaded with rain. it looks like it's dropped a couple petals already, but it's still vivid. behind it are trees and a gray sky.

this poppy is drooping, so the photo was taken from beneath it. light from the overcast sky shines through its petals, so you can see their layers and the raindrops sitting atop the flower.

a fluffy, layered orange poppy in full bloom, flecked with raindrops. its petals look silky. in the background are grass, shrubs, and a weathered gray building.

what if you want to start a stitch & bitch group, but you hate the phrase "stitch & bitch"? is there an alternate cute name for yarncraft socials? or, y'all are so good at clever puns, maybe you can come up with a better one?

Amazey

reminder to those not watching Eurovision that you can improve the quality of your timeline today by either muting the word, or just temporarily silencing the people who have a lot to say about it right now 💚

I'm doin' it! I've finally got the yarn *and* the fancy hook with the long tail, and I'm gonna #crochet this whole dang baby blanket. I've never done anything anywhere near this size, it's only my second Tunisian project ever, and I've definitely never spent this much on yarn before. but here I go. that baby better be grateful!

Content warning Dracula Daily, May 11 question

wait so *who* is Lucy in love with? the tall curly-haired guy? the lunatic asylum doctor whom she says is such a good match for Mina? (because that is a suuuper weird way to introduce your crush to your bestie!) or are they the same person?
