Egad, what a joyous day it is to have eyeballs on the Internet. I make Things and contend with Ailments. Welcome to chaos. Hehe.

  • a post 2 days in a row? Holy fuckin shit?!

    Well it would seem that clearing out the spam comments may have helped fix whatever was breaking the site, or it cleared up on its own. I’m reminded of a meme where it’s like “can you lick the science? Programming: nothing else has made the code work, so you may as well try…” I am…

  • the moment hits you like a cannon blast

    // title taken from “vanish canvas” by erra Hi, all. I’m so sorry for my prolonged absence. This site has been down for an extended period of time and I’ve been unable to post. I’m making use of its uptime to post while I can, clean out spam comments, update plugins, what have you so…

  • 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…

  • If you are seeing this, especially if you are queer and/or trans:

    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 was bored, so I put together two posts, and I’m so proud of the promo image I made for one of them that I’m going to put it here. No part of this image was made with AI. This is all human nonsense. I am debating on a shower. I will take my leave…

  • 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…
