I hate Lord Henry Wotton (dozens of pictures of Lord Henry Wotton fly out of my pocket) This isn't what it looks like. These aren't mine I swear (more pictures fly out)
Well fucks? Get to it!
Reading the Picture of Dorian Grey and Basil, buddy... the closet is glass
I'm Hanan, writing to you as a mother from Gaza, doing everything I can to keep my family and my child alive amidst this hell. 😥
My child cries nonstop from extreme hunger, and I am completely powerless to meet even his most basic needs. I am also pregnant and unable to provide the nutrition my body or the growing fetus inside me needs. 💔
We live in a catastrophic situation full of ongoing suffering.The crossings have been closed for months, not a single grain of wheat has entered, prices are out of control, and the occupation is tightening its grip in every possible way. we have been forced to cook wild herbs, plants we don’t even know the names of, just to silence our hunger. 😭
Please, we are living in a real famine. Any support, could save our lives and give us a chance to survive. 🙏

I absolutely will die on this hill, access to fiction that makes your skin crawl and open discussion about it is the best way to keep that skin crawling fiction from happening in reality.
It doesn't matter if it is ~positively~ or negatively portrayed. If you censor it, we don't talk about it, then we can't protect against it.
I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.
Oscar Wilde
i cant really fully describe how disrespectful the netflix adaptation for the picture of dorian gray is, as i am not the secretly repressed homosexual man who wrote the novel and said all the characters represented him, nor am i a gay man who lived in the 1800’s, but i am queer and i do adore oscar wilde and i have studied his life.
not only is the book one of the first popular and honest representations of homosexuality, but the book is written by a man who said the book represented him. oscar wilde was a homosexual man. and after being arrested for indecency (doing gay things in simple words) wilde lost all his reputation and was pretty much exiled in british society (even beyond) - majority of his plays were phased out of the public and his name was silenced. oscar describes the picture of dorian gray’s three main characters as parts of him. Basil: his trueself, romantic, full of emotion, artistic and finds beauty extremely valuable. Henry: his public persona, the way the public perceive him and finally, Dorian: the man he wants to be - youthful and beautiful. Changing the main emotional plot in this novel, that happens to be romantic and queer, is not only disrespectful to the way Oscar wanted to represent himself, but also disrespectful towards the fact that Oscar himself was convicted for homosexuality and had a passage from the novel, where Basil confesses to Dorian, read in court as evidence against him.
leave queer historical figures alone. you do enough by just denying their identity.
