I started a quick transcription here -- not enough time to complete more than half the first column, but some scans and very rough OCR are here if anyone is interested in contributing:

Top and bottom halves of the page in the repo here:

EDIT: If you have access to a multi-modal LLM, the rough transcription + the column scan and the instruction to "OCR this text, keep linebreaks" gives a _very good_ result.

EDIT 2: Rough draft, needs some proofreading and corrections:

Too late. You have already been scooped by, of course, tumblr:

A battle of a Tumblr user named Woodsfae versus advanced LLM transcribing new goth literature?

That's like bringing a knife to a gun fight my friend, never underestimate the power of a committed Tumblr user

It's like bringing a Goth to a Vamp fight.
