A cheesy/spooky dungeon in at the NH attraction, Haunted Overload, filled with fake skeletons that look charmingly fruity all chained up to the wall in funny positions

Coffee run in Salem.

Mirror selfie of Sebastian - a lanky, white man - from the neck down. He is wearing combat boots, denim cargo pants, a spooky “Hellebore” magazine sweatshirt with occult imagery, and an aviation jacket with white wool at the collar.

Haul from the $3 book sale at the Salem Athenaeum last month. I’ve been checking out “The Origin of Satan” from our local library for years as a reference and I am so excited to finally have a copy of my own.

And if you want, I’ll show you some of the fine ~figures~ in that drawing book…
Three books arranged on Sebastian’s leather-topped desk. The first,”The Origin Of Satan” by Elaine Pagels, the next “Drawing The Male Figure”, and beneath those a big art history book.

Happy Valentine’s Day from your local, demon-possessed lounge lizard. Every-so-often, I creep down to Boston to sing. See you tonight at Poetry Brothel! I’ll be crooning again for all you lovers in Cambridge and keeping it extra sleazy.
A promotional photo reading: Baritone of ill-repute, Mr. Crane. Made to look like a late 19th century magician’s poster, featuring rich gold and red tones and a photo of Sebastian - a lanky white guy with black hair - listening to a devil whispering in his ear.

If you see this, post your pride flags!

Hi, I’m a gay trans man (he/him). Thoroughly Achillean, as in: Only other men get my heart racing.

Love the word “transsexual” for myself! Do not love being referred to as “transmasc” or “transmasculine”. 🧵 For more details~

“We saw you from across the mortuary and we loved your vibe.”

Attended my (he/him) first GASH with @lewdalfred.bsky.social (he/him) and loved every twisted, slippery minute of it. Cheers to Throb Zombie and Co.; what a show. Vampires v. Werewolves is just what I needed to kick off the apocalypse.
Sebastian and Lewd Alfred posing together, dressed in black velvet as vampires in a club bathroom. Sebastian is a white man with shoulder-length black hair and Lawrence is a white man with short curly hair and fabulous eyeliner.

Good morning from Salem.
A spooky, ceramic bat mug resting on a fur draped over Sebastian’s lap. He is holding it by the handle; the sleeve of his fuzzy black robe is visible and his nails are painted with subtle sparkles. There is a layer of snow on the balcony in the background.

Let’s get to know each other! Quote with a selfie and the lord of your ascendant!

Jupiter in Pisces 1H and absolutely no idea what that means. ✨Astrology Enthusiasts, lend your wisdom?✨

He/him btw.
A selfie of Sebastian, a pale man with black shoulder length hair, green eyes, and an oval face. He is dressed in a flowing black shirt and has his chin propped against his hand.

The 19th century painting featured is “Joan of Arc” by John Gilbert
A cropped 19th century painting of a warrior in plate armor, wielding a broadsword with the text “PROTECT TRANS PEOPLE” in red. There is a dripping effect on the first “p” suggesting blood.

Broad Street Cemetery in Salem, MA. Opened in 1655. #salem #goth #cemetery #history
A photo of Broad Street Cemetery with a murky grey sky and golden, winter grass. There is an ominous black tree in the foreground and a hillside of 17th century gravestones in the background.

Learned how to fold Regency letters for my upcoming DnD campaign.

The players requested a cross between Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell” and Brian Fuller’s “Hannibal” and I am excited to deliver some Very!Bad!Fairies!

A set of three letters on a leather-topped desk beside a magnifying glass and a book on the history of the town of Bath. They are folded in a style common in the Regency era. One is tied with a ribbon, another is sealed with wax.

Wine-dark waves off the coast of Lynn, MA in December. Sometimes red algae collects near the shoreline giving the water this incredible color. #ocean #photography #darkaesthetic
A cold, moody photo of a slate grey sky over the Atlantic. A black wave rising up with dark red hues in its white foam.

The concentration of resources among American elites has increased exponentially since the turn of the century and now the top 10% of households hold over two-thirds of our country’s riches. This level of disparity has sparked revolution before. Just history. Just saying…

Inequality between the people of the United States and the 1% is more dramatic than it was between Parisian peasants and royal aristocracy during the French Revolution.
