I’ll start
I live in the South West, United States. Furthermore, I am a Xennial . I was transient from about the age of 15 - 30. I’ve been around the block a few times. I am a caregiver for high functioning adults with special needs. I just fell into the job and never expected to do this kind of work. I am told I am pretty good at it, and it is fulfilling work.
Also, I like to play video games, watch movies, and read. I look totally normal, for the most part. I haven’t flown my goth flag since I was 17, besides wearing all black on occasion.
I’ve been using message boards since I was 15, back in the modemer days when you had to call the admin to get let in. I’ve modded my own private sub on reddit for multiple years. I wrote for disinfo.com for a few years before it got ruined by an incompetent asshole.
I am a huge music nerd, and I feel like I am in the right place.
I will keep it very concrete: Elder goth from Buenos Aires , Argentina. Gen x. Im a graphic designer but work as a developer in the ecommerce industry. Interested in many music genres (darkwave, gothic rock, ritual, dark ambient, neofolk), occult literature, horror movies and from time to time i’m a manga reader.
Awesome, what kind of occult literature?
Ceremonial and Chaos Magick. I readed many authors but i can say that i really appreciate the work of Lon Milo Duquette.
I see that he is a Gnostic Bishop, I have an interest in hermeticism. Very cool, and yes he writes in English, he’s American.
Are you aware of Timothy Freke?
No. I don’t know him. Can You tell me or recommend me something? Thanks in advance.
PS. You can check ‘Low magick’ from Duquette it was my first book and still one of My favourites.
The Laughing Jesus: Religious Lies and Gnostic Wisdom Tim Freke, Peter Gandy
That’s the book that caught my eye.
I found Low Magick, thanks for the recommend.
Lon Milo Duquette
I’ve not heard of him, I will have to look him up. Are his books in english?Robert Anton Wilson is my favorite, specifically Prometheus Rising.
Older millennial from Melbourne, Australia. I like all kinds of music but I’m always drawn to dark, heavy music. Once in a long while, I spend the time to goth up but, honestly, I don’t have the time or energy between work and study. Plus I get far too self conscious, even though ‘goth’ is basically mainstream now, over here.
Professionally an architectural lighting designer but studying to move into game development. Am an all round nerd who likes manga, anime, games and books. And of course, music. I’m currently listening to an album from Horror Vacuui.
Welcome, this Horror Vacuui?
The very same!
Hey, interesting post, you might not get a lot of engagement bc I think many people only look at lemmy while at work. Personally I think when I post before noon US time I get more European views.
Anyway… uh… besides music I like !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world and !sumo@lemmy.world … my favorite pokemon are Psyduck and Wobbuffet and Meowth… I’m currently playing Rome: Total War on my phone… I used to read books a lot more, I kind of miss that.
I didn’t know Total War is on mobile. I play Marvel Snap on my phone while at work, lol.
My favorite Pokemon is Psyduck, I just like it.
