Lazarus scares me sometimes.
Why? My motherfucking headmate got a nasty feeling Mt. Spurr in Alaska was gonna erupt after seeing it on the USGS list of volcanoes with elevated activity a few weeks ago. Spurr now has “50/50” odds of erupting, according to scientists.. #tbi #didsystem -Allēna

Guess who’s been asleep for most of this afternoon!
If you guessed this bitch, you win a prize. The prize is the knowledge that I’m feeling uneasy. No idea why. Yes??? Is yes a good answer?? #NEISvoid #chronicfatigue -Allēna

I find it hilarious that Open Vibe has a prompt when I go to post that says “your thoughts?”
Bitch, what makes you think I’ve had a coherent thought locked and loaded since 2010?! This is all improv, baby. -Allēna

Will everything I post for the foreseeable future have typos?
[I shake the magic 8 ball in my brain] Magic 8 ball, being a contrarian bitch: stcrdsuhuijfddssAAAAAAeerfh try again later…?!? Me: fine. Keep your secrets. [I send the post. It’s all typos] #NEISvoid #chronicfatigue -Allēna

It’s almost 3:24 AM here.
I can’t sleep yet, a blizzard is supposed to be hitting anytime now, and the view from our kitchen window looks like an early Songs: Ohia song translated into imagery. It’s weirdly beautiful in a #MidwesternGothic sorta way. -Allēna

Our left hand.
It, along with the rest of the left side of our body, was irreparably affected by a massive stroke coming up on 27 years ago. We can’t move any finger but our pointer finger and thumb independently of each other, leading us to joke that we have 1.33 hands 🤣 #NEISvoid -Allēna

This is what complex grief looks like for me.
A first attempt, anyway. I’m feeling a lot re: the state of the world and things and it’s bringing a lot of emotions to the surface I didn’t have words for before. #complexgrief #cptsd #NEISvoid #digitalart #chronicpain -Allēna

How to be a web designer:
1. Open your web design program. 2. Sin. 3. Attempt to atone for your sins when the first sins didn’t turn out right. 4. Scream when you wonder if being a web designer is atonement for some sin in and of itself. 5. Repeat until the project works. -Allēna #WebDesign

I just saw a blogging prompt that went like “if there were a biography about you, what would the title be?”
Well… Lemme tell y’all. For years, I’ve wanted to write a tongue in cheek memoir about my system’s misadventures called How To Win At Life. 🤣 -Allēna #Lore #Memoir #Autobiography
