Damn it, River.
My fucking headmate thought it was an excellent and hilarious fucking idea to schedule a neurologist appointment on the day our father died of brain cancer nine years prior and then make me handle it. At least Lazarus had the fucking foresight to get it switched to a virtual appointment several damn days ago so…

We might not be super active today.
It’s February 5th here, the day our dad, Xavier, died, nine years ago. I woke up a few hours ago, blinked, realized what day it was, thought about all the bullshit going on in the world, thought “Nope”, and went right the fuck back to sleep for another several hours. Xavier was known for both…

A message to anyone learning a new skill:
This doesn’t just apply to cooking. Xavier used to always tell me before he died that you have to learn the rules to anything before you can break them. And this man was a certifiable genius across the board – brilliant cook, chaos programmer, astonishing writer, ruthless editor. I swear he did everything by his…

Well, shit. We do take after our father…
Do you ever have one of those moments where you just sit back and go “Jesus Henry Christ, I’ve become my father!” Well, my system is having one. The fact that we have a chaos blog itself, the articles and thoughts we’ve begun collecting and sharing under the UsPol tag, or even the fact that…

On Hooking ‘Em and Cooking ‘Em (Get Your Minds Out Of The Gutter, You Sinners)
Hello, assembled host. Lazarus here once more with more bullshit for your viewing pleasure. The below prompt from the journaling app Day One looks interesting, so I shall answer it in due time, but before I get into the thick of it, have a fucking meme I cooked up last night that is tangentially related…

Wrapped Around Your Espresso
Hello, all. Lazarus here. I’m bored, kinda having a moment, and can’t find my fucking phone, so I decided to curse two songs at once and make my late father spin in his urn in the interim until I can find it. This is a very, VERY rough mix, I’ll probably go back and clean…

The Perils of Being Private
Hey, everyone. My name is Tamsin (he/him). I was recently dormant for around a year, and it seems that I have emerged in the midst of a cascading shitshow and frankly I’m annoyed at Eight. Allēna alluded to a PTSD attack of epic proportions yesterday, and that’s due to Eight going through a whole lot…

Cheating Death (The First Couple Times, Anyway)
Hey, everyone. This is Allēna, your ever-gracious super-admin (just kidding). I am here today to tell a special story by request of a friend. This is the tale of how we very nearly died the first and second times. We are masters at cheating death, and have quite the tragic backstory. My colleagues have also…
