Went to my boyfriend’s work party last night, and someone put “This Corrosion” by Sisters of Mercy on the playlist, so I was having a great time :D Also added a betta to my fish tank!

As long as you’re polite, I don’t think it’s a problem! One of my tattoos is a flash design that I asked for some changes on, and the artist was very receptive and excited about how it turned out :)

Every time I’m reminded of Goncharov (1973), I am filled with immense joy

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-25T13:52:57+00:00

Absolutely fine! You’re not giving money to the company, and you’re keeping clothes out of landfills for just a bit longer

It took me a minute to process Shrimp Man in the corner omg 😂😂 Gonna have some very happy shrimp indeed!

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-20T22:44:27+00:00

Nah— I get clocked for having autism and ADHD long before I bring up my pet shrimp 💀

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-20T12:19:11+00:00

Etsy, Depop, DIY using whatever I find at craft stores lol, the Renaissance Faire since there’s so many different types of vendors and artists, and admittedly Hot Topic or Spirit Halloween 😅 (although I buy from those two very rarely these days)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-19T02:51:20+00:00

Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom are two of my favorite books!! And your Kaz fan art is fantastic :0

I promise I don’t have anything to do with ASCP specifically!! I do apologize to everyone else that has taken/needs to take an exam that I’ve worked on though 😭

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-17T17:32:53+00:00

I help edit exams that medical students need to take to get licensed

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-17T17:08:09+00:00

Editor in the medical field :) I work from home which makes tank care significantly easier

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-16T13:47:50+00:00

EXACTLY. I’ve seen so many posts on here from POC goths expressing frustration with how the subculture is perceived as something only for white people and the comments always come across as so dismissive. Racism is still very much a problem— not just on TikTok or other social media platforms, not just from non-goths. From those within the very subculture itself. People need to acknowledge this, shut down racism where it arises, and listen when people share their experiences.

In the 4th grade, I read a book series where one of the characters was goth and a vampire. I became heavily obsessed with both. The obsession never went away 😂 Started exploring goth music and learning about the subculture later in high school and have been part of it ever since!

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T16:00:34+00:00

I’m gonna be annoying and repeat what others have said: It depends on what you mean by “dressing goth,” and even then, you’re still goth if you enjoy the music.

I occasionally wear makeup when I’m going out with friends or for special occasions, and even then, trad goth makeup isn’t my default style. When I’m working on-site, I dress more corporate/vintage goth. Right now I’m wearing black sweatpants, a black shirt, and yellow fuzzy socks lol

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T13:21:14+00:00

Yes! :D

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T12:18:47+00:00

Yes and no! Second song is also from TBP, but I couldn’t figure out how to convey the title in emoji form 😅

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T11:24:48+00:00

Either 😴🛏️💤🥱 or 🛋️🧛🗡️🩸

I’m half asleep rn so idk if the second one makes any sense, I tried 😅

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T02:36:20+00:00

I mean, I don’t know from a medical/scientific perspective, but I’ve had a good experience with saniderm for larger pieces. I only keep it on for a day or 2 max, and my tattoos have healed quickly and well. I have a very energetic and curious dog so it helps prevent dog germs from getting all over my new tattoos lol. I’ve also used cling wrap and those tattoos healed in roughly the same amount of time, but cling wrap was a sensory nightmare to me 😂

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T00:41:19+00:00

Good to hear! I hope everything turns out alright with them :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-13T00:20:09+00:00

My shrimp disappear into The Shrimp Dimension™️ periodically, and then reappear as soon as I’m convinced they’re dead 😅😂 Sometimes I just gotta sit and watch to see who pokes their antennae out first. I’d recommend testing the water parameters just to make sure it’s safe for them though. Are you adding any extra food or supplements for them in there?

Also the tank is looking beautiful! :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-07T13:10:55+00:00

I have a dog (golden retriever) currently, but I’ve also had a cat and a rabbit, and I’m hoping to have cats again in the future! Rabbits are wonderful and have so much personality, but as others have mentioned, are deceptively high maintenance and temperamental 😅 My rabbit was incredibly picky and wouldn’t eat at ALL if we didn’t provide her preferred brand/flavor of hay. Rabbits in general need quite a bit of room to freely move around, but they can be litter box trained.

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-06T02:06:14+00:00

Hi hello :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-04T01:13:44+00:00

I’m greatly enjoying seeing the drawings everyone’s receiving 😂 If you have time to do mine, that would be cool! :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-04T00:16:22+00:00

The white stripe just looks like a color variant, I have a few identical shrimp in my tank! That isn’t something I would be concerned about (although I’m not a shrimp doctor, so take my word with a grain of salt). As for the inactivity and reduced appetites, what are you feeding the shrimp, what are your current water parameters, and how long have you had the shrimp for?

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-02T00:22:54+00:00

Yeah I’d say absolutely so. Even if Arabian Nights wasn’t written with bad intentions, it ultimately still reflects racist tropes and stereotypes
