The paper reminds us that 'a kiss is the beginning of cannibalism'(George Batailles). The act of biting connects the vampire, the zombie, and the cannibal but also adds an element of sexuality and eroticism to their violent acts,

The paper also examines the cultural shift of cannibals from horror to romance & explains why themes of queer monstrosity appeal to queer viewers & how cannibals can be read as metaphors for queer romance. A captivating & provocative analysis.

Yep, actually how I felt when I kept explaining to doctors in Ireland that my menstruation pain can't be "normal." I couldn't execute daily tasks! Chronic pain regularly ignored by our paternalistic, blood-sucking medical system.
on reddit someone posted a literal rock that came out of their ear after more than 20 years stuck in there (since childhood), and they seem to be stuck in a repeating loop, endlessly explaining to redditors the realities of having a doctor who fundamentally doesn't believe you

Okay, so we are definitely not thinking along the lines of - hey, let's just *not* kill other animals. Instead, let's keep up the numbers so we can make *sustainable (?!) flight* fuel. Handy.
"Flight from Paris to New York would need fat from 8,800 dead pigs..."
"Fuel made from dead animals has grown fortyfold since 2006. Much of it is used in cars and trucks as biodiesel.
UK & EU governments are keen to increase its use to make aviation greener."
Don't we already slaughter too many animals as it is?
