The danger in trying to do good is that the mind comes to confuse the intent of goodness with the act of doing things well.

Black and white illustration, title: The Glorious Rot. Very fine ink work and hatching. A pale long-limbed humanoid sits on a stone block surface. They have four arms, with one wholly consumed by the cascading web of roots growing out of their body. Their feet are consumed by more roots across the bottom part of the canvas. Their face is just two large voids weeping black rivulets. An expanding splash of a flat mass covered in cellular-like holes grows out of one of the face-voids. A dog-like creature with a canine skull and long mane lies poised below the figure, with roots growing into and out of it. A creature of pulled flesh and hair stands behind and to the right of the figure. This creature has two horse heads grotesquely melded together with a mass of numerous eyes between them. Their hair flows straight upwards into the sky in antler-like patterns. The figure's two right arms are raised, and black viscous fluid flows over them and from the hands, to pour into a wide bowl on a pedestal, both formed of roots. Partially encased in the pedestal is a medieval helmet with face plate covered in rows of holes. The black fluid is leaking through the bowl and onto and through the helmet.

Every Fucking Time

Digital art of a turtle-koi fish creature with a lily pad and pink lotus flower on its back, mimicking the vague shape of a turtle shell. A small frog rests on their lily pad as drops of water catch on the petals of the lotus flower. A tadpole swims shortly behind them. The background is a greyish blue with swirls and sparkles.

I wanna skip tai chi so bad. My joints hurt and it's storming and my right eye may or may not be on the verge of busting out (migraine). But we persevere. I guess

Good evening. It is, unfortunately, still tuesday

Good morning. It is tuesday

you're eating the peel for extra fiber, i'm eating the candy wrapper bc i have given up, we are not so different you and i

What's he look so cuddly and pettable for

Those 48hrs of no-touching snake digestion are my personal hell

Not this day

One of these days I will manage to NOT be taking afternoon naps like a fucking toddler

If you're "celebrating" today, please don't drive under the influence. If you're in a place where it isn't legal, stay in a safe place with trusted people. Use a real ashtray to avoid a fire.

Drink lots of water. Have emergency snacks on hand. Thank the devil for his lettuce.

Anti-Data Center organizing is really ramping up especially in the South.

ill stop smoking once life stops smoking me

But how about diy AND die

I'm a real instruments person but there's something to be said for how stupidly fast you can throw things together with all digital

Feeling all down and dragging for no real reason except that I needed today to be good and it was instead only just barely acceptable

Right! I feel like most of the people who echo those sentiments are people who are not involved in the goth scene in real life... Or otherwise they might think differently.

Lately there's a big subset of (young) goths claiming that to be goth you only need to listen to goth music and be leftist. Except they mean a really specific breed of trad goth rock, and they mean a really specific kind of leftist - which apparently is increasingly anti-SW.

I'm not even easy to rage bait, generally, but good lord do some people really try and push it.

some of you are way too comfortable telling others to go kys. save that energy for pedophiles god damn

The lone guy in the comments who said smth like "the problem isn't sex work it's patriarchy having too much control over it" got ratioed straight into the grave

Lmao I can't stop being mad. I'm gonna go for a very much needed cigarette and possibly a Scream

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the foolishness I cannot change, and to not strangle anyone over it. Or explode

I have a minor and slightly tangential question, which is, uh, where exactly do you think goth and punk visual fetish/leather/etc influences ever came from, if not (primarily) sex workers? What?

"you can't be a goth without being vocally anti porn" is this a joke? like actually? I hope you see my haunted visage in your dreams after the psychic damage you made me take reading your bs. why does everyone in the comments agree with you. what planet are we on
