Open Sorcery

Open Sorcery is the world of Lazarus Halliwell.

Excellence and batshittery, done on purpose.

I’m Lazarus. I make art, music, poems, plays, and magic for the quiet, brilliant, broken ones. If that is you, welcome home. I adopt your kind.

  • I watched way too much Designated Survivor yesterday.

    I made it through the end of the first season. I’ve been trying to rest, I swear..

  • I am still bone tired and my spine hurts,

    But I started re-watching Designated Survivor this evening as a little treat to myself and someone apparently wants to paint fan art of me on Instagram, so that’s cool.

    It’s off to the shower with me now. G’night!

  • I think I might have broken myself a little today.

    But Emerson and I got the apartment mostly clean, wheeee.

  • I took this photo of baby Véra today:

    She’s my everything 💛

  • I filmed a LOT of videos today.

    TikTok recommended one of my brother’s sounds to me to use in a video, so stay tuned for some bullshit about a pinworm farm or whatever 🤣

  • Apologies for not writing yesterday,

    I appear to have crashed for about 14 hours last night. My body desperately needed it, I have been exhausted and running on fumes of late and haven’t really been okay. But today was much better. I got to spend time with Emerson and my other local partner, whom I shall call Cadmium, today. She brought me a care package that included my favorite chocolate, Dubai chocolate, and two different kinds of eyeliner, as well as body spray! We cuddled and laughed a lot. It was wonderful. I’ve missed her a lot.

  • Today was nice and slow.

    Rent got paid, and the messes in the apartment are slowly getting cleaned up. We made it through Season 4 of Doctor Who, as well. It is shower time for me, considering it’s almost 2 AM..

  • Today was a decent day.

    I got a fair bit done around the house, but didn’t get as much done on socials as I’d like. I also took a very long nap. Overall, it was pretty nice.

  • I don’t feel like I did all that much today,

    But the crowdfunding for May rent is almost done, at least, we only have a bit more to go and then I can chilllll. I also talked with a friend for the first time on the phone today, and that was lovely.

    If you’d like to help with the crowdfund for May rent, anything helps. My pay links are as follows:

  • I have enough of today.

    Today todayed the fuck out of me.

    However, it would appear that I’ve made a little over $100 this month on Patreon and I get to take home $95 of that, and there are still a few days left to go in April, so that’s badass. One of the videos I made promoting it has started blowing up, predictably. The haters are very mad.

    The remaining thirty minutes of today are cancelled, however. I’m going the fuck to sleep. Goodnight, all.
