Around a thousand new followers in just a few weeks. Many thanks to each and every one of you! I'll continue with my anniversaries, memes and articles from the blog - as well as trying to contribute to a hopefully well-sustained #goth community here by boosting your content!

And definitely the stuff about solidarity, which is the key message in this caper.
Someone, somewhere is plotting an evil scheme to bait well-meaning do-gooders into a puppy cruelty grift. Fortunately, the do-gooders will save them all and the grifter will grovel for rescue from a watery oobly. They learn a soggy lesson.
Also, best of luck with your ordeals of saintly solidarity.
Hey Kira, if you keep twisting your arm like that it's gonna fuck up your shoulder and it will still hurt in 2+ years and come with special bonus melancholy.
Ow.

We've worked with @wearequeeraf.com and @clairestranstalks.bsky.social for months pulling all of this together and now finally we can talk about it publicly. I wish we had better news to talk about though. Spoiler alert: it's all pretty rough.

Yeah, we're VOPs and we'd like to share the good news. Here's a pamphlet written by our beloved Mistress.
What? Are you suggesting that a vacc only policy not backed up by proper sick leave to allow people to isolate or any attempt to clean public air made things worse and now abandoning vaccination as well might be a complete fucking disaster? Surely not!

04.10.2025 09:38 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That's 'masking up' as in putting an actual mask on and making sure it covers your nose, as distinct from the metaphorical autistic practice. I can only do that with other autist pals until we've resolved the specific topic of discussion. Then it's :s:t:a:t:i:c:
04.10.2025 09:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0People tend not to mask up because people apparently like to talk to each other. They have [ugh] conversations. I find this practice bizarre, so masking up is less of an issue. My basic precaution is a hindrance to those people. Those ~social~ people. It's more of a calculated risk now but I do it.

Yes, I would like this too and am fortunate not to be that near anyone most of the time. Readily available tests, masking up just being normal and fucking vaccines not being heavily restricted (I'm not eligible this time >.< ) should be the norm.
Peopleβs brains dont fully mature until 225 years dont you know cant rush people into decisions that will affect the rest of their apparently eternal lives smh

I got referred to the local* NHS GIC in 2014-15 and am done now, assuming nobody fucks me over on a whim. There was never a good time, but the tipping point period was the closest we ever got.
*'local' is fucking lucky
Just breathing deep knowing I'd never have gotten anywhere with DIY cos that means asking people stuff and people scare me. I've been meaning to ask people stuff for years.
Urgh, I hate being nuance.
Honestly shocked there are still tickets for DSCM at the Gen Cem. You should go.
