  • 50 lives ago, I was jealous of her, but now it seems like I dodged a bullet…

    When I was 14 and had just started going in and out of the recording studio, an artist named Sarah Jaffe in the DFW area where I was born and raised was starting to get big on the local scene. Being the teenager bursting with insane, almost suicidal ambition that I was, I wished so…

  • I had this odd realization during my post-writers group smoke break today.

    I think I – as well as my system as a whole – approach making art the same way that jazz musicians play music. I was thinking about this because the piece I ended up writing today in group pulled heavily from “My Island” and yet putting an entirely different spin on it, and it…

    Cops probably have shit taste in music. Just like the rest of their shit life decisions. -Allēna

  • Vibing to this today.

    Mumford and Sons never fucking fails. -Allēna

  • At Last, I’m Found

    Hey, all. This is Lazarus again. In 2021, I was talking with my friend Delta about all of the shit I was going through at the time while deep in survival mode and about being an Enneagram Eight largely geared toward self preservation, and I predicted that once I got out of survival mode and…
