Happy International BDSM Day! This global celebration honors kink culture, sexual expression, and the vibrant BDSM community. The observance was founded in 2003 by Kurt Walter Fisher, a Swiss kink advocate who opened Europe’s first BDSM club. He chose 7/24 as a nod to “24/7” kink lifestyles! (🪡🧵)

Nosferatu ended up being pretty enjoyable! Definitely think some actors were on the weaker side but Willam Dafoe proved particularly entertaining. As a fan of all things vampiric there was a lot to enjoy!
