Morbid Curiosity: Plants that Light

On this episode we are diving deep into DIY in 2026! We'll be sharing expert tips on jewelry making and sewing, we'll explore what role DIY has in the era of fast fashion, and we pontificate on the use of religious imagery in goth culture. Beyond that, we talk at length about the goth scene in Florida and Chicago, and get a master class in how to start your own goth shop. Finally, review the recently released directors cut of Gypsy 83.

Many of us experience life pre and post death of a loved one. It's one of those experiences you can't avoid and can't unsee. Sure many of us fight to ignore or avoid feeling those feelings, but whether you accept death or not, there's no stopping it. On today's episode Lauren Seeley chats with us about the complexity of mourning estranged parents, speaking with those who have passed, holding space for grief, and much more.  If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon!
