So one possible reading is that it&#39;s about the English being menaced by people taking their lands and sullying their blood. 2026-02-07T03:41:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxf2ts2ed9lp0akqnphqg6w8wuwdruk9pfzeytyvy97632z93yuegzyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wv854ye7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs883x7snu4kdw09yvasx4vfnm5etsfggstx2uaukxg7mmr9g20wvs3q6ea3'>nevent1q…6ea3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I described it a little bit here <a href="https://wandering.shop/@annaleen/116025104382165661">https://wandering.shop/@annaleen/116025104382165661</a><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1nc77ul5z4ls4gkna7sskh6855nh7ymv8504cm2qxmdw280q0g8aq72tn7s" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1nc7…tn7s</a></span><br/> </div> also it's explicitly about how an "evil" immigrant is buying up British land. what could be scarier to an imperial power than a foreigner taking their land? plus, don't forget that Bram Stoker was Irish and no fan of British imperialism. </blockquote> 2026-02-07T03:38:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfu00w06p2lc25tf7lggttar62fmlzdkr686ud4qrdkh9rhs85r7szyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wvt3x0xp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsptc7d5uykzr6gx50jtldnxgftx2f20v9nea6j7wu4rfmxnmcszeqn2u62d'>nevent1q…u62d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>also it&#39;s explicitly about how an &#34;evil&#34; immigrant is buying up British land. what could be scarier to an imperial power than a foreigner taking their land? plus, don&#39;t forget that Bram Stoker was Irish and no fan of British imperialism. 2026-02-06T18:29:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxdevn9j8v5wqzdmy68x05234rw78c6p4ns3hypxuu06e8hjjt0tczyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wv3nc0zk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy86cuc5ld22fuflmj6fc73stdet9d9n35p94adudflz9lxrsymxcyl4fun'>nevent1q…4fun</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yar 2026-02-06T03:26:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrntjp0rmyxuudf85mcqhnw3l0qmntvegy6f3dddsptl28yfknqjszyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wvgznm3f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstpsxscckd6xs8v8nd7w2z5ttdrf7789u7aszq9kupjzlvkwwd0ys9zh06r'>nevent1q…h06r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>*waves* 2026-02-06T03:25:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr83zp5gu7s9m7tyr0gk8k078m5dgqtelpuzn4d7wqxvce57se3mczyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wvaz92fk Spending a pleasant evening considering the connections between three anti-imperialist novels: Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897), War of the Worlds by HG Wells (1898, though serialized in 1897), and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (1899) ... all of which came out during and after Queen Victoria&#39;s opulent &#34;Golden Jubilee&#34; to celebrate 50 years of glorious Victorian imperialism. 2026-02-06T03:25:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsglt39cdfvxhfv3m6udekcgdwmmycum9mvyucu7k9nz7ayq5hkxuqzyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wvz6pthc Why does the internet feel so lonely, despite also being so loud and overwhelming?

Just updated my Mac OS and now there is an annoying window that pops up constantly, trying to get me to sign into iCloud (I do not want iCloud) and configure &#34;smart&#34; crap (I do not want more AI). No matter what I do, the window will not go away -- it goes into the dark pattern of taking me to settings, and when I hit &#34;cancel&#34; on iCloud, the other pop-up returns to remind me to sign into iCloud. Anyone know how to get rid of the iCloud reminder window? 2026-01-23T17:39:53Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqhewp4v04fvl44d3e5cqz7vja7y049xmhlq0w22lqpc02v2vv2eqzyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wv2trxlv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv0mka4nkffzekj5trtz3r23hsdffrct2gndmvqungt36f0f5dmfqc0x5m9'>nevent1q…x5m9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>well hello! 🤖🍜 2026-01-21T18:37:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw9jl8704a4yyhush8lnr08gcrtepz077s6u3fvf45smx6hta9zfczyz77qnvsnp6vjjnv9ucgus5tp3wkkt04u3kfm7qwaeptq0gr6x5wvq0h6v9 Need hope in this era of political nihilism?
