A nice day alone (so far)
Yesterday was a fuckin doozy, but I’m alone today at Emerson’s and just chilling out so far with tiny cats. Here’s Moonie child. I cannot believe Lazarus named this cat MOON UNIT… 😭😭😭🤣🤣 She’s the sweetest little thing, though. -Allēna

My brain is sad, so have photos of our foster kitten and her mom.
We call the baby Sean Connery Nugget and the mama cat Mama, usually. Why is the baby Sean Connery Nugget? No fucking clue. You’d have to ask Lazarus. Anyway, enjoy these photos, and I hope your brain hurts less than mine. -Allēna

The Art of Bitching
Well, this is an interesting prompt. What do you complain about the most? I tend to complain a lot about anything that’s difficult or exhausting for me while in the process of doing it. It helps me bypass my executive dysfunction and my deeply rooted perfectionism, which often makes it damn near physically painful to…

My lap is for the youths, apparently.
I wish it weren’t, but here we are. Damn it, Artemisia. You can be adorable.. Sometimes. -Allēna

I was clicking around the blog after months in a dormancy coma and I’ve gotta say…
I love what my headmates have done with the place. Pretty neat. Have Allēna’s and Eight’s masterpiece album Mago as a treat before you go. If you’re finding the system via the MadMastodon tag or related ones, I think you’ll like what it has to say. It’s all about deconstructing a high control faith, surviving…
