  • “We really are very small, aren’t we? Fungi are like a map of the stars here on this planet”

    -fire bars from an unknown headmate who said this upon learning more about the fungi growing at the Chernobyl meltdown site and promptly vanished

  • Emerson and I went to a lovely witchy shop today.

    I got a self love kit and he got an art print. We also spent 3 or so hours in a laundromat in the snow, but it was SO worth it. -Allēna

  • There’s supposed to be a big snow storm coming in.

    Reports are calling for over a foot of snow. It was clear today, though. We’re under a winter storm warning until Sunday. It’s only November. I suppose we’ll see…

  • I wrote this early this morning. I’m very proud of it.

    I've spent too much time
    wrapped around the axle of your love 
    three “I wish I didn't miss you” winters soured 
    I am regretfully tightly wound and solemn
    every day’s a funeral and I break the cold ground 
    hours before daybreak 
    this is one burial that is long overdue 

    I don't hate this city 
    I have come to love it perhaps in spite of you 
    I make praise to its neighborhoods and 
    the lake effect snow 
    my world is finally becoming bigger than the 
    four walls that we share
    you no longer dictate the pace, nor do you set 
    the price of it
    there was once a time that I would have gone out
    and bought the entire city for you if only you'd 
    asked, unto half my kingdom, but you never did
    and now you hate me for things you never 
    had the courage to say 
    and the lies that I drank from your mouth 
    like a perverse communion, for
    when I laid us to rest, you
    had only ash to eat and 
    nakedness to wear 

    so wander these cold, crooked streets wild
    calling for someone to cover up what you did
    some new soul to eat your sin
    while I repair the frayed ends 
    I tore from you

  • My new headmate has a villain song.

    I wanted to post it here now that things with Zelda have gone…south, as it were.

    It is titled “Australis.” Eight wrote it a year ago. Enjoy, along with a bonus meme.

    @opensorceryy Aww sweety no!!!! I’ve been watching you guys just be your happy selves and was so glad for you all. Why people gotta ruin perfectly good things? I’m really sorry that happened.

    I really appreciate your kind words.. it’s been rough since finding out, especially since we all live together now. I’m tough, though, and I’ll make it.

  • This is my performance at Freight 38 tonight.

    I have no idea what to call it, but it’s about my most recent breakup and the maelstrom of emotions that have come with it. Lazarus wrote it at workshop this past week and I performed it with assistance from Australis to not break down onstage.

    I’m thankful for Australis, he’s been really helpful as a brace while I process all of this fuckery..

    Emerson filmed this, as well.

  • Allēna performed a very vulnerable piece tonight at Poet’s Monday.

    This is called “body politics.” Here is the performance.

    -Australis, he/him, hello, I’m new.

  • Hi everyone. This is Lazarus.  I haven’t posted here in a hot minute.

    I’ve missed y’all. Not much has happened today, but honestly, that’s probably a good thing. Zelda vague posted some dumb shit on Facebook about “being stupid” and “following their heart rather than their head” and Lēna and Emerson commented on the post calling them out for cheating and then posted the entire salvo in a separate post 🤣 Zelda blocked both of them as well as everyone else who flocked to their post to give them a piece of their mind. I think it’s safe to say that they are NOT having a good day. Honestly, after the shit they pulled, good.

    Emerson went to the Sunday writer’s workshop, and I felt out of place, but I wanted to see what it was all about. It was fun, semi disorientation aside.

    Then we came home and began a rewatch of Bridgerton for the hell of it. I’m still watching, but Emerson is napping. I’m not certain what else will happen tonight, but I’m sure it’ll be juicy. Ehehe.

  • Well, I found out today that Zelda cheated on me. They’ve been summarily dumped.

    If you need me, I’ll be in a TV hole or asleep, probably. I’d be more upset about it except that I’ve been over the bullshit for a long time. This has been the latest in the long string of utter nonsense. I don’t have the spoons to be all that pissed anymore.
