Abortion: Take Back Our Power

Abortion: Take Back Our Power #abortion #roevwade #bodilyautonomy #handsoffourbodies #abortionishealthcare

“I wish I would’ve had an abortion!”   I grew up hearing that sentence almost daily when I was a child and teenager; the words still cut me deeply, even though I am now 50 years old and cut contact with my mother almost 15 years ago. There were many other things she said to me, called me, and berated me with over the years, but, “I wish I would’ve had an abortion”, yeah… there’s no better way to…

(Un)Worthy

(Un)Worthy #poetry #poem #fatshaming #unworthy #mom-ster #fat

  I was raised to believe Worthiness was something measured by a scale. Fat. Gi-gunder. Bull in a China shop. Platypus feet. Womba-woman. Ponderous bulk. My mother and family never minced words. “You want it to stop? Then lose weight” Always looking to strike like a cobra; their venomous words slowly killing my Self-Esteem before I even hit my teenage years. Setting me up for Failure – the…

Industrial is Dystopian Goth Music

Industrial is Dystopian Goth Music #industrial #gothicindustrial #dystopianfiction #mixtape #80smusic #classicalternative #90smusic #waxtraxx

  I read a lot of dystopian fiction in the early 80s

  Growing up, books were my only friend and helped me to escape my life both at home and in school.

While other girls my age in middle school and junior high were reading Sweet Valley Highand other cheesy girly romance books, I read dystopian and science fiction from renowned authors like George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Douglas…

Thrift Shop Art Legacy

Thrift Shop Art Legacy #art #legacy #writing #thriftshop #painting

While perusing a local thrift shop, I ran across a wildly cool little painting.

    I had to buy it just because it was so cool and definitely out of place in the thrift shop. It also reminded me somewhat of my own art with mixed media, glitter paint, and paint texture.

It’s inspiring to look at and makes me want to dive back into my own art. However, my mind has taken a different twist on this…

Waiting for the Night...

Waiting for the Night…

  There are quite a few heartbreaks that are indelibly imprinted in my mind as well as my psyche.

  Every time I recall one I get choked up and rip the wound open again. It’s the most addicting self-inflicted pain in the world to me.

I know I shouldn’t do this, but certain things make me recall these past unfortunate events. It could be the time of year or something as simple as a fragrance in…

World Goth Day 2019 - The Killing Moon

World Goth Day 2019 - The Killing Moon #worldgothday #playlist #mixtape #classicalternative #gothicindustrial

Happy World Goth Day 2019!

  I still will never understand why someone decided that World Goth Day should be on Morrissey’s birthday and not Peter Murphy, The Goth-Father, Siouxsie, the Goth-Mother, or even Robert Smith‘s birthday, 

But, alas, here I am again with another kick-ass Gothic/Industrial Playlist to celebrate this day.

Just like the Ministry song, Everyday is Halloween, for us in the…

January Depression Part II - Cuts You Up

January Depression Part II - Cuts You Up #depression #cutsyouup #PeterMurphy #musicsaves

  Move the heart Switch the pace Look for what seems Out of place… Cuts You Up – Peter Murphy

  Driving, no destination in mind, just driving to escape and to empty my mind. Attempting to hit the reset button buried deep in my subconscious.

My brain is broken, or at least the records in my mind are on constant replay… they repeat, repeat, repeat… voices from the past, the present, and even made…

January Depression - Try Walking in My Shoes

January Depression - Try Walking in My Shoes #depression #walkinginmyshoes #anxiety #JanuaryDepression

  Statistically, January is the most depressing month of the year, and for me, this is no exception. This year especially.

  I don’t think there’s been a day in the past few weeks I haven’t cried either from my depression and anxiety, stress in general, or sheer loneliness. Sometimes it’s even an explosive combination of all. Most of the time it happens while laying in bed either as I’m trying…

Digging in the Dirt: Fall Mood 2018

Digging in the Dirt: Fall Mood 2018 #mixtape #playlist #classicalternative #goth #music #industrial #fallplaylist

  Sometimes life gets frustrating beyond reason.

  I feel like I’ve been rebuilding, rebranding, and restructuring my life for the past eight years. I’ve even referred to my life as one of those kids friction cars that you pull back a few times to rev it up, then when you let go, it goes speeding off — except that I’ve been revving for years it seems with no release in sight.

  “Every job I’ve…
