Don't be shy about expressing yourself to those you care for.
Say the thing your heart feels.
Give that hug.
Tell them you love them before letting go.
Hold their hand.
Share a memory.
Shed some tears.
Ask the questions.
Dance.
Revel when you find your people.
Treasure friends with all you've got.
The 25th anniversary @gothicbeautymag.bsky.social kickstarter for a celebratory reunion calendar (with yours truly alongside an amazing group of photographers, designers & models who've appeared in Gothic Beauty throughout the past *quarter century*) is now in its final week & nearly at their goal!

Go forth & peruse Leanna's Torch & Arrow shop - someone needs to be wearing these bat-tastic Goth Déco barrettes: www.etsy.com/listing/4399...

*I can vouch for the beaded appliqué in the below necklace being rather fabulous too, as it just ~might~ have come from my passamenterie collection... 🦇✨🦇
Oops I thought Etsy's sale ended but it's through *tonight* @ midnight! NOW it's last-chance for 25% off most items @ Torch & Arrow, check out the magnificent bib necklace I put together! Antique beaded applique dressed w/ teardrops & a black cat! 🖤 Ships free!

Cheers to all artists & writers out there prompting -themselves-. 🥂

To all dedicating time, talent, energy & resources to create in this moment of epic data-scraping, yet keep pushing forward because creative visions go to the very essence of who we are.

Cheers to lighting eachother's candles. 🕯️🕯️🕯️

You don't need $ to support artists of all kinds!

*Like something enough to share? Respect it enough to source.

*If you see art used w/o credit, try & find source or at least ask.

*If you do recognize it, tag/add link.

*Un/misattributed work being sold? Request it be removed, contact site host.

Hey ~ Today (or anyday), why not watch some Native American & #Indigenous made short films from around the world?

Bonus: the hosts Ariel Tweto (Inupiaq) & Bird Runningwater @birdrunningh2o.bsky.social (Northern Cheyenne/Mescalero Apache) are adorable as can be! 🎬

This reminds me of when:

✨Dressed in black, I went to sweep my front walk with an old broom.

✨It was sunny out so I wore a wide-brimmed hat.

✨I'd applied GREEN tea mask to my face earlier & forgot to rinse it off...

Realized I looked every bit the (inadvertent) witchy cliché! #Witchsky 🍏
What's the one essential piece of gardening gear that makes you look utterly ridiculous, but you can't live without? Bonus points for outfit pics...

I'm thankful for you.

If you suspect I mean *you* in particular, I most certainly do! If you don't think I mean ~you~, I still do as well. Because we're all here doing our best, learning as we go, helping where & how we can, and keeping some hope alive in what we believe, create & may yet be. 💕

This Thanksgiving we are so grateful that we get to know turkeys in ways that most people don't. Here are ten awesome things we love about turkeys! 🦃

1. Their gorgeous plumage. Most people think turkeys are just "brown" but their feathers have beautiful patterns, colors, and iridescence!

How lovely it is to be part of this special @gothicbeautymag.bsky.social 25th anniversary reunion project. 🌹🕯️🦇

The calendar they're making to commemorate it (including a portrait of yours truly!) will be a fabulous keepsake of a quarter century of gothic history: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ame...

With my own enduring battle of survival, this part spoke to me as I've had the same thought when people make casual assumptions about "five year plans" and such...

One thing I know?
Live, love, share, and care now.
Because people, -all of us-, are a limited time offer.

If someone knits or crochets you a blanket or sweater, they want to keep you warm AND they dedicated many hours of their lives to making it for you.

There's no profit in fiber arts, not when you can get a machine made at Target for 30 bucks. So know fiber artists making for you? Is an act of love.
