Wellllll I was in the ER all night.
The poor providers were in the weeds and it turns out I have a UTI of some kind, so I got antibiotics and some sleep. I also shitposted all night because poor sweet Emerson was more tired than I was and therefore I had to keep watch. So have this bullshit I posted to announce…

“the fire watcher’s bomb”, digital mixed media, 8/27/2025
my mother, a self professed pyromaniac, my late father, and I, all loved the band u2. her favorite song (and album) of theirs was, not so coincidentally, in my opinion, called “the unforgettable fire”. was she telling on herself? probably. our poem “the fire watcher’s bomb” talks about the two generations of pyromaniacs on our…

I just wrote this. It’s called “hurricane lazarus”, and it’s inspired by a conversation I had with a very powerful soul I met yesterday.
I was born in an otherwise normal middle of june at the tail end of tornado alley. I’m a gemini, scorpio moon, half air, half water, all storm and tremendous force. say what you want about astrology, scorpios, or geminis, I’ll tell you what I know. I learned as a young child why they name…

This was my Tabi Po performance.

We’re at Tabi Po at County Clare Pub. Legendary poet Ed Werstein is the featured reader this session and I feel like I’m at church in the best way.

Today on Bad Copy: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16vi19422n/ I couldn’t watch this without wheezing. This is BREAD DOUGH, people. BREAD DOUGH!!! Take this as proof that you should always run your videos, copy, what have you past people with the mind of a 12 year old boy. -Allēna

So apparently being antifascist makes me a terrorist now??
Fuck it. Might as well go all in. Here are a few poems I wrote for an antifascist literature jam. The full zine is here if you want to read it. I’m gonna speak freely while there’s still some semblance of a First Amendment left. -Allēna

Some thoughts on the Jimmy Kimmel situation.
We are the canaries in the coalmine. Not some rich guy getting fired. Rather, how society and the government treats the disabled, the indigenous, people of color, immigrants, the unhoused, trans people, anyone who is marginalized… That should be your indicator for how bad things are getting.

The main Charlie Kirk doxxing websites are down!
I mentioned in a post a few days ago that right wingers had been establishing websites to doxx and harass people who hadn’t been expressing outright sympathy for Charlie Kirk and denouncing so called “political violence.” Well, I am pleased to announce that the main site has been down since Sunday and the site that…
