Psych Major, horror movie buff, singer and actor. NB, Poly, Bi/Pan. Lover of dark media and musical theater. Former Opera singer. Used to be goth kid now a Professional Goth Adult! Pagan practitioner of over 20 years and occasional Pagan educator.
I’m not ok. I haven’t been feeling ok. I’m scared for the future. I feel voiceless. I feel alone. Isolated. I feel lost. I need to cry or scream or sleep for days but, I never seem to get the chance. And, when it happens organically I feel like I have to shut it down before anyone sees.

The stress is finally over. Well… the stress from the social security hearing is over! Today we got word that my beloved’s disability status will remain and her benefits will continue!

My parents and I used to go to Toronto like 3 times a year to see Phantom and other musicals after it closed. I haven’t been back in 14. I miss it so much. Don’t know how to explain it but I have never felt more at home. Enjoy the 90’s fashion & my dopey grin.

Hello, BlueSky!

I’m told this platform doesn’t choke links (or hashtags), so here’s my first test of that

I make #TTRPGs and I’m especially fond of #horror-themed solo games

This one’s about exploring what remains in society AFTER the #zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♂️

In the vein of talking about things I don’t usually talk about on other platforms: Favorite Musicals: Les Miserables, Jekyll & Hyde, Assassins, RENT, Evita, Into the Woods, Company, Man of La Mancha and my number 1 favorite musical of all time is…The Phantom of the Opera.

Today has been an intensely nerve wracking day. In April my beloved’s social security/disability was cut off after being on it for the last 16 years.Today we had a hearing. We will find out in a week or 2 if it will be reinstated. We are so nervous. The anxiety has been overwhelming!

I think I’m going to use this space to talk about things I don’t usually talk about in other spaces. My thoughts on beloved musicals and horror films are definitely on my list. 80’s and 90’s nostalgia too.

I figured it was about time to move over here. I hope I can reconnect with everyone over here!
