While I do dislike the interpretation that posits Heathcliff just being Catherine’s “whip” (because I think Heathcliff is more complex than that) I must say that I like how Heathcliff’s revenge makes Catherine Earnshaw truly central to the Earnshaw/Linton family history in a way she otherwise wouldn’t be. If you want to truly understand Wuthering Heights (both the estate and the book), “Hareton Earnshaw 1500” on the entry door is deceptive, “Catherine Earnshaw- Heathcliff - Linton” is the true family history. Hareton’s real power and final victory is due to him having his aunt’s eyes, not due to him being “the true heir”.

(Of course there is a discussion to be had regarding how only a man’s love can make a woman relevant but that’s for another day).

There's just something about the dads in Mike Flanagan's works that fuck me up. None of them are perfect but they're all trying their best and love their kids so damn much. The horror of knowing the world is gonna eat your kids alive no matter what you do. The tragedy of never knowing just how much your dad loved you until it's too late. I just-

god they really made kotallo one hell of a character. from his runway model strut of an entrance and tattoos and beads and wry but rumbly deep voice to his bravery during the ambush literally throwing himself barehanded into the path of a rampaging machine to save his friend to losing his arm and reclaiming his honor by battle in the arena to his conflicted feelings and complicated past with the sky clan and its commander to his little “that was an unkind comparison” and “ive still got a strong back” comments to his incredible kindness and devotion underneath the stern mask to his simultaneous ability to be an absolute BAMF ready to throw hands at any time while still being like “seashells!” and “chocolate frosting!” to his hidden humor and little salutes and soft eyes and willingness to learn and ingenuity and support and “devote what’s left of my life”…..thank you for this man

⏰ 🚨 attention please🙏🚨

Dear friends and compassionate supporters,

This is Eman Zaqout, from Occupied Gaza, Palestine. I am a Biotechnologist ,🩸💉 and scientific researcher contacting you at a really desperate moment.

I am seeking your assistance to raise funds for saving our lives, facing the starvation in Gaza and help me achieve my doctoral degree dream after being awarded OWSD PhD Fellowship for inspirational women🍉👩‍🎓

just like any motivated and loving life woman, and for years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital and Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital, as Biotechnology Specialist serving cancer patients with compassion and skill.

I also gave medical lectures to students at different universities and training centers in Gaza👇☑

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

As a result of my outstanding grades in my study and the excellent performance in my job, I have been a holder of different scholarship and I am active participant in many research visits and scientific missions. 💪The last scholarship as at McGill University in Canada three months ago before the starting of the genocide in Gaza.😫

However,😥

My life changed dramatically when Israeli military launched a sweeping war against Gaza. My home and our neighborhood in the North have been destroyed along with our belongings and precious memories early in this crisis.😢💔

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨
⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

My job and my husband's job are gone. Israeli military forced us to evacuate from the north Gaza to the south where they claimed it would be the safe zone but it is not at all. Our sweet home and neighborhood have been destroyed 😥😭💔

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨
⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

Forced to flee with nothing but the clothes on our backs, today, we find ourselves sheltering in a displacement camp lacking access to sanitation, medical supplies, food and drinkable water. I will not talk a lot about the dire and unbearable life we have to go through, as no word can express it fairly 🥺😣

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨
⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

The good news in the midst of this tragedy, that I am one of the 22 women from the developing world who have been awarded OWSD- PhD fellowship to pursue my PhD study in Malaysia🍉💪. But now I am stuck in Gaza unable to achieve my dream because Israeli army has occupied and closed all the border crossings 😭💔

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

Meet 22 fellows awarded OWSD PhD fellowship

This genocide has been 11 months of hell and horror. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die.

⏰ 🚨 Attention Please🙏🚨

Nevertheless,

I refuse to succumb to despair, holding on to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.

With your kindness and generosity🥺, I hope to survive the genocide and reclaim the path to achieving my doctorate 💉🩸

Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.🥺🙏❤🇵🇸✌
