prompt: royal purple reflections
they say tyrian purple is the noblest burial shroudbut I am not noble, nor is anything I have doneso cover me in cornflower blue and fuchsia after casting me into the flame – do not sanitize me by simply calling me a queen or a conquering hero, save your pedestals for a less complicated man…

Today on failing my way forward:
I learned how to make a bootable USB drive in order to repair Emerson’s laptop. In other news, I better understand why my ex-husband, Fang, was so goddamn cranky all the time. I got very pissed off while doing this project and named a folder “fuckass bitch program”…. -Allēna

OH! I drew this the other day and I forgot to post it.
So here it is. I call it The Passenger because I sort of blanked out and drew this piece while listening to “The Passenger” by Iggy Pop on repeat? So here you go. -Allēna

Look, kids, ANOTHER heatwave!
It reached OVER 100°F outside today and it was not pleasant for Emerson and I AT ALL. Wisconsin can handle subzero temperatures just fine, but we eat shit in the heat, ESPECIALLY since a lot of apartments and houses here don’t have central air conditioning and were built in the 1940s or earlier. I’m starting…

Congratulations on outliving LINDSEY FUCKING GRAHAM 🎉 (and possibly Mitch McConnell, because there’s no fucking way that the photo of him and Elaine Chao that his office released yesterday was legit) -Allēna

I finally managed to post again on Patreon today.

I wonder if the exhaustion of the last couple of days was human error,
ie. I wonder if I forgot to take my H2 inhibitors because of bullshit object impermanence. Today was still difficult fatigue wise, but I had therapy and that helped. I also DEFINITELY REMEMBERED TO TAKE MY FUCKING MEDS. If I have, in fact, forgotten to take them for the past couple of days, that’s definitely…

I’ve been so tired
that I could barely respond to the wonderful messages people have been sending me on a lovely new app that Emerson and Hawthorne put me onto called Roost, and I still couldn’t get to all of them. I feel bad, but resting is important. The emotional and physical toll of the past…yes must be catching…

I wish I could say I’ve been resting,
and I have been, physically, for the most part. But things between Emerson and I have been a lot less tempestuous and a lot less stressful since he had his surgery, to such a degree that I’ve been able to work through my own emotional backlog for what feels like the first time in years,…
