one of the workers who cared for my grandma in the memory care unit left us a sweet note about how much she would miss her ♥️ healthcare workers, especially those who care for our most vulnerable loved ones, deserve all the good and beautiful things in the world

one of the great ironies of my life so far has been told I dress “like I’m gong to a funeral” for most of it yet I don’t actually have anything to wear to see my grandma off on Monday

Salvo spoke to Tzompantli’s Obsidian Bear about the band’s killer new album, mixing huehuetls with doom, and how the project has helped him embrace his own identity.

💜 Salvo interviews Lust Hag’s Eleanor Harper, whose new album is a fantastical black metal journey.

“Living as a visibly trans woman, or even as a woman in general, can be fucking heavy and intense and scary—which makes for great metal lyrical content.” salvo.ghost.io/lust-hags-fe...
