(Wow do I miss being capable of going out dancing. Stupid defective mortal shell.)
ALSO, I really doubt Andrew is capable of writing songs like "Driven Like the Snow", "Dominion", "Ribbons", or "Temple of Love" anymore. (To list a few of my favorites, and "Driven Like the Snow" is their best song ever, closely followed by "Ribbons".)
Of course, that means that if the actual song starts playing within earshot, I instinctively reach for my phone.
VERY tangentially related to this: Andrew Eldritch looks like he could be the older brother of my darling husband. Let me tell you, the day I realized that was a weird one. And may be part of the reason that Husband's ringtone on my phone is the opening choral section of "This Corrosion".
Speculation about a new release was renewed in November 2016 when Eldritch mentioned he might release a new album if Donald Trump were elected US president: "I don't think I could keep quiet if that happened."
NONE OF US BELIEVE YOU ABOUT A NEW ALBUM, ANDY.
(For the non-goth crowd: SoM haven't released new recorded material since 1993. In 2010, Andrew Eldritch confirmed in an interview that he saw no reason to release an album.)
Info I found out from @theblogginggoth.bsky.social over on a different social media site: The Sisters of Mercy canceled a festival appearance because "They're moving up the recording schedule for their new album".
AHAHAHAHAHAHAA sure Andrew, we all believe you.
Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Relax your shoulders, have a snack, take your meds.
-Your worth as a person isn’t tied to how useful you are.
-The Lurking Horror tried to be helpful and open a jar of jam for the Cursed Object. Now I have to clean jam off the ceiling.

Jesus. I hope you're treating yourself kindly in the wake of that, and damn, that guy needs to be punched and then fired from the job.
I obviously need this, right? @jillthomsonart.bsky.social

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
mood.
No advice from your Goth Auntie today, as she is very tired and groggy. Drink some water, take your meds, and look after each other.
My heart and soul are telling me I need to return (more) to my beloved pink and black aesthetic. Sooooo obviously I needed to create a pinterest board.
(Yes, I know about Draculaura. I have one of the OG dolls.)

Feel like we should be telling people we appreciate them more these days as a matter of mutual care.
"talking mice that will break your heart" - guess I'll brace myself before reading this one, even MORE than I have to brace myself for the appearance of Greg.
Bookday! It's my bookday!
Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.
Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop clenching your jaw, drink some water, take your meds.
-Worrying is worshipping the problem. (I saw that said elsewhere and winced at the truth of it.)
-The Cursed Object has declared all the ceiling fans are part of Curseyland.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-No slouching! Drink some water, take your meds.
-Be as kind as you can, but don’t ignore your boundaries.
-The Lurking Horror wants to explore the heating ducts as a “fun adventure!”, but “cursey can’t tag along”.
❤️ Auntie Jilli
That is GORGEOUS.
Everyone cheer! Today is Dad’s EIGHTIETH birthday!
(Photo from a few years ago, and wow it shows I take after Dad’s side of the family.)

New vampire nails!
Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Use your fancy things now. Don’t save them for a vague “later”.
-All the tiny cryptids want extra hugs. I want them, too.

Throwback Thursday! The cover of the Russian language version of Gothic Charm School: An Essential Guide for Goths and Those Who Love Them. I don't think the book has been translated into any other languages, so the fact there's a Russian edition is mind-boggling.
Season 4 of Hannibal PLEASE. Pretty please.
