This is way too long to put in a Twitter thread, so in the interest of readability, I am blogging it. On or around August 10th, I will be taking a semi-hiatus from Twitter until 2020 for six reasons. This will have minimal impact on blogging — let's face it, I've been on the blogosphere … Continue reading A Twitter Recalibration is Imminent
The Cosmos — Void — Night — Radiance
I. O God, I have no laurel for a crown. The dust of dried leaves lies at my feet in this library whose volumes are countless. Here are the traces of all that I know, yet I open the pages and tear them out. Curled into flowers, strung together, they succumb to perfection as the … Continue reading The Cosmos — Void — Night — Radiance

Daughter of Night, your insatiable will drives all things into mixture, as bright oil meets opaque water. You … Continue reading To Eris
Reflections on Social Media
So, yesterday was the new year according to the HMEPA calendar — I did an hour and fifteen minutes of ritual, and my apartment still smells like frankincense incense and oil. I prayed to the Horai for their blessings in 699.3 (because we all need that right now), alongside gods I worship on a personal basis, … Continue reading Reflections on Social Media
