The world is a lot right now.
In all honesty, our phone is on Do Not Disturb to avoid the constant onslaught of news and we are messaging very few people to preserve spoons. One of us (I forget who) saw a post a few days ago that talked about how a therapist was saying that a desire to build an off…

I’m so tired today.
But at least I’m pretty sure that what I’m feeling is complex grief about, well, everything, and burnout as a result. Checkmate, alexithymia. I’m gonna try my best to take it slow today. I just feel like I have very little to give to anyone and have felt that way for awhile. -Allēna

The Trials and Tribulations of Caffeine
Hey, everyone. Lazarus here. Unfortunately, I think the caffeine pills I was taking were raising my blood pressure enough to give me chronic migraines again. My body is extremely weird. So caffeine, or at least THAT form of caffeine, is likely off the table. I had to take a migraine rescue med earlier today and…

I Am Become Migraine
Hello, everyone. Lazarus here. 2/3rds of my local polycule has come down with some kind of illness and I may have overcaffeinated these past few days because I have been navigating a nasty ocular migraine as best as I am physically able. That being said, I’m likely going to have to throw my body into…
