Just finding these blogs was difficult and I'm only one person so if you run/follow any helpful queer blogs not on the list already let me know so I can add them!

Especially blogs in the sex-ed category or the political/activist/org category that aren't usa-based.

Edit: Someone in the notes tagged some queer literature blogs, so I added a category for queer lit.

the fact Mina curates this story is really hitting me this time around. Just thinking about her putting everything together … Jonathan’s journals and her own diary and typing up Seward’s recordings. How her fingers linger on these letters between her and Lucy. Simpler times. Of her own worries of Jonathan being away when she thought there was nothing to worry about except distance. Of Lucy’s overwhelming joy and the innocent frivolity that made her so lovable. The excitement they shared to meet in Whitby, to discuss love and life in person, wrapped up in the friendship they’ve shared since they were little girls. And she wonders what’s necessary to put into this account. But these letters show who Lucy was before. A glimpse of what they were and what life was prior to the descent into horror. And that’s so important to remember after the dust settles. We all start somewhere. Some on a train going west to east for a business trip. Others in a letter of three suitors and a girl who loved them all.

I love Lucy's discussion of Quincey speaking American slang in today's Dracula, so much. There's so much to love about it!

The claim that Quincey only speaks slang to please her when usually he has "exquisite manners", when, for the rest of the book we only hear him speak in his Very Cowboy Way. (I wonder if perhaps he was only speaking "politely" for her sake, and dropped it when he realized how it delighted her).

Lucy going "I do not know myself if I shall ever speak slang; I do not know if Arthur likes it, as I have never heard him use any as yet." Which is delightful for several reasons:

Being besties with Quincey definitely means Art is no stranger to slang, even if he doesn't use it himself

Can you imagine?? Lucy trying to talk American slang the way Quincey does? Putting on that Cowboy attitude? Especially when she thinks all of it is probably made up and would make up her own?? This would be PRECIOUS.

Please compare with me!

Quincey, May 24: "Don't cry, my dear. If it's for me, I'm a hard nut to crack; and I take it standing up."

Lucy, May 11: "He has a curious habit of looking one straight in the face, as if trying to read one's thoughts. He tries this on very much with me, but I flatter myself he has got a tough nut to crack. I know that from my glass."

Now idk the origin of the phrase "hard/tough nut to crack" (online dictionaries are telling me "the 1700s" with no location given) so idk if that truly counts as American Slang for Lucy's purposes BUT

Looks like she has already been picking up some phrases from him :D

I finished Attack on Titan a few days ago and it made me so incredibly upset that I’ve spent the days since finishing wondering how things could’ve turned out differently and I’ve decided that the only thing that could’ve saved Eren would be if he were lactose intolerant. Mans would never try to be a god if he were shitting himself after every sip of milk
