Fantastic video breaking down modernism and Latour in an easy to understand video. I'll be talking about why this is relevant to goth (again but different) in a future episode.
I don't know how I'm gonna make it through.
I lost my 36 hour Claim Obscur save. 😭 Time to do it again
Since it's #BandcampFriday, here are links to some of the awesome bands we're playing with! 🧵
Apparently the conversation around fetishizing goth is still focused on blaming women, shaming sex workers and employing the old no true scottsman fallacy. There's a lot more in this episode besides that, but I bear both fangs on this misogyny bullshit.
I have 4! 😄
For the vernal equinox we started to reassemble and refresh our altar in our new home. 🥚🐇
We now live in a hole in the ground. I've taken to lovingly calling it Our Grave. 🪦

Low vitamin D at my Dr visit.
