“
Stoker’s greatest contribution to the vampire legend is to focus our attention not only on the physical grotesqueries and violence of blood-sucking, but also on the far more troubling psychological fear of becoming “false,” of having one’s death, a fundamental part of one’s natural being, taken away, leaving the core of “true” humanity encased in a pallid deathless shell of skin and bone. What is endlessly compelling about Dracula is the monster’s subversion of our most deeply held metaphysical beliefs. “I know now the span of my life,” writes Jonathan Harker in Transylvania (p. 45). Although the knowledge is frightening for him, it distinguishes him from Dracula, whose life, being endless, has no span. It stretches from endlessness to endlessness, from abyss to abyss. The life of the vampire is an unpunctuated succession of feedings, denied the common human bond of death. In an early conversation with Harker, Dracula explains his desire to come to London:
I long to go through the crowded streets of your mighty London, to be in the midst of the whirl and the rush of humanity, to share its life, its change, its death, all that makes it what it is. (Dracula, p. 26)
It is possible to understand this speech as a glimpse of Dracula’s buried “true” self, struggling to become a part of humanity, a plea for the changeless to know change, for the deathless to feel death, for the Olympian outsider to share in a common humanity.

I wish I had specific information about this pic but I don’t, here’s what the blurb under it said in the encyclopedia I got it from:
Activism by ACT UP and other groups, such as this protest dramatizing the wide-ranging targets of AIDS, helped to raise public consciousness about the breadth of [it], and governmental negect.
This is from ACT UP’s famous Seize Control of the FDA demonstration, October 11, 1988! Specifically, this is a die-in staged by an ACT UP/New York affinity group, the Candelabras. According to his biography, the person lying front and center is David Wojnarowicz, the artist and AIDS activist who is also known for the jacket he wore to this protest reading “IF I DIE OF AIDS — FORGET BURIAL — JUST DROP MY BODY ON THE STEPS OF THE F.D.A.”
Other tombstone placards read: “I GOT THE PLACEBO — R.I.P.”; “AZT WASN’T ENOUGH”; “DEAD FOR LACK OF AEROSOL PENTAMIDINE”; “DEAD FROM LACK OF AL-721”; “DEAD FROM LACK OF DEXTRAN SULFATE”, “BECAUSE WOMEN WITH AIDS DIE TWICE AS FAST.”
According to activist Douglas Crimp, “The success of SEIZE CONTROL OF THE FDA can perhaps best be measured by what ensued in the year following the action. Government agencies dealing with AIDS, particularly the FDA and NIH, began to listen to us, to include us in decision-making, even to ask for our input. […] Following the FDA action, ACT UP continued to lobby for parallel trials, meeting with NIH and FDA officials, negotiating with pharmaceutical companies, and testifying before congressional committees. One year after SEIZE CONTROL OF THE FDA, ACT UP’s idea, now called Parallel Track, was accepted by the NIH and FDA and went into effect for ddI (dideoxyinosine), the first antiviral AIDS drug to become available since AZT.”
More on Seize Control of the FDA:
ACT UP’s actual 40+-page handbook that prepared activists for the action
Footage of the action, including this die-in.
Coverage of the action in the documentary on ACT UP, United in Anger (2012)
Firsthand account of the action by activist Mark Harrington in Tactical Biopolitics: Art, Activism, and Technoscience (scroll to page 335; Harrington’s whole chapter, “AIDS Activists and People with AIDS: A Movement to Revolutionize Research and for Universal Access to Treatment,” is worth reading and starts on page 323.)

I went to smell my bra this morning to see if it was gross and for some reason the instructions got fucked up on the way from my brain and I ended up putting it to my ear and just listening to it for a second. Idk how my brain thought that would help, like if I could hear the ocean it’s time to put on a clean bra

Did you know that in six years at this school, we’ve only exclusively had male student counsil presidents? Where has that patriarchy gotten us? Double-digit inflation, economic freefall, oil spills, war in Afghanistan. Boys have made one hell of a mess at this school, and there’s only one way to clean it up. (insp.)
