I tried to perform at a poetry event tonight,
but neither of the hosts called me to perform. I was there for about 3 hours. The event started 45 minutes late as well. I left at 9:57ish, three minutes before the event was scheduled to end, and they hadn’t called the second feature yet. I’m not sure if it was intentional, if they couldn’t…

I got blood work done today.
Also, fuck the sun. I almost fainted. At least we have cool air in the apartment now. -Allēna

I think I’m going to turn in early tonight, y’all,
(for me, anyway). I’m processing a lot and my brain feels so overtaxed that it’s a struggle to think or even breathe at times. I’ve been struggling to even message Juneau, and that’s been quite easy of late. I think I’ve overworked myself into a hole. So I’m going to have a leisurely smoke and…

I think I hit my social limit today.
Between a bunch of phone calls and DMs and getting sunsick this past weekend, including yet another phone call to get my benefits sorted because my representative has been AWOL for over a month now, I sort of went into turtly hermit mode and watched Smosh for most of the afternoon.

I feel like death,

The things I do for content..
Today, that was getting sunsick. Emerson and I went to a bookshop downtown after our original plans fell through, and I got…kind of irradiated making a video while I was waiting for him to finish up inside. I have to be awake at 10 AM tomorrow for writer’s group and I did not nap today…

The people have found our Patreon.
I can’t say that I’m exactly surprised at the results, as Eight set up an After Dark tier years ago and people have been clamoring for me to…reveal more of myself, as it were, for some time now, ever since I released the first round of videos teasing “Apocalypse You”. So if more… midnight revelations…

Since I am a tired dumbass and it doesn’t seem to be my day with the braincell,
here is a second post to tell y’all that you should subscribe to Open Sorcery if you enjoy what we have to say since I didn’t add it in the last post and I STILL can’t figure out how to edit the site so that it’ll let me edit posts directly from WordPress after I’ve…
