I’m tired and grumpy and sick of hearing about Spotify and AI and climate collapse and blah blah blah blah divest from these fucking systems before it’s too fucking late I’m out of patience and we’re out of time

Amazing, incredible, chef’s kiss Also cheers to the person who mentioned Mort from Planescape: Torment

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

This Friday, October 24th, in joyous and defiant celebration of autumn and the Fall… VHT73: Autumn Brigade - Apocalyptic Swan Songs

I keep waiting for the underground goth community to realize that the way upward is to be mutually supportive of one another. So many bands act like they exist in a vacuum - there is a sense that attention is a zero-sum game in which one artist’s success detracts from another’s

Drop some SKULLS 🏴‍☠️💀🖤

ok I synthesized a few ideas and I think I figured out how to explain basically all goth music

actually the sluttiest thing a man can do is open both doors of helms deep at the same time

if anyone is embarrassed or ashamed of past collaborations & feels they’ll never be accepted by leftist spaces, please learn from my experience. we can all make this community a stronger, more inclusive one by continuing to have difficult conversations 💞

running a label is just breaking down cardboard and crying

if you are in the chicago area please keep an eye out for bam bam, a 14 yr old seeing eye dog who was stolen from his blind guardian 💔

VHT12: The Tunnel - Six Curses of the Blackout Witchcave came out a year ago.
