My main December personal project was preparing the Soul's Inner Statues for an at-cost print-on-demand version, and I wanted to make sure the text and formatting were in good shape for that. This goal, thank Apollon and Aletheia, has been achieved. Here, again, is a link to the project: https://kayeofswords.github.io/soulsinnerstatues This second stage has been … Continue reading Soul’s Inner Statues: Major Update

One Month Ago, I Deleted Twitter
On November 14, 2022, I deleted my personal Twitter without announcing it. Before spin class, I was looking through the suggested items in my Google News feed, and I saw that two-factor authentication was being dismantled. Had —apparently — already been dismantled. F–k, I thought, I've been logged out for months and won't be able … Continue reading One Month Ago, I Deleted Twitter
November 2022: Heading Into Late Autumn
Let's begin this monthly update with a photograph of dried flowers that I found at the farmer's market during the first weekend of November, which I offered to Aphrodite. It is her season, after all. One of the reasons I love this card from Susan Seddon Boulet is that the artist did not hypersexualize Aphrodite. … Continue reading November 2022: Heading Into Late Autumn
October 2022: Communication
While thinking about how to describe October, I kept going back to words from Proclus in his Parmenides commentary because my thoughts were scattered — small bits of captured, frivolous internal monologue; things I had obviously written while feeling very fatigued and filter-free; and observations with no linking threads. The Proclus passage gave me a … Continue reading October 2022: Communication
September 2022: Hitting a Hard Reset
September has been a very challenging month. At the end of August, I had blinding pain in my skull on one side and behind one ear. A rash started developing on my forehead, and it ended up being shingles. Yoyo has taken to sleeping in front of my shrine. She curled up by my knees … Continue reading September 2022: Hitting a Hard Reset
August 2022 Update: Quotidian Things
August has been a bit of a whirlwind. It's orientation season, which has involved so much contact with students. I adjusted my prayer routine a bit more and started to do morning contemplations again. I hit 100 days on Duolingo and can now say things like αγαπώ τισ γυναίκες. I keep confusing the words for … Continue reading August 2022 Update: Quotidian Things
July 2022 Update: Nonstop Summer
This past month has been a whirlwind of activity — primarily in my professional life, which has nearly been as busy as August's orientation season. Now, as we close out the month, I'm relaxing this evening while on a new laptop (my old one was from 2015; it was time) listening to Seikilo and looking … Continue reading July 2022 Update: Nonstop Summer
June 2022 Update: Less Online, Icons, Book Darting, and Getting Excited About Texts
June is always a bit of a whirlwind for me, especially as my mom traditionally visits for my birthday slightly after mid-month, so it's a time for hosting family. It's also the time of year when I struggle to sleep, as I awaken with light (and when I don't, my cat does, and she screams … Continue reading June 2022 Update: Less Online, Icons, Book Darting, and Getting Excited About Texts
May 2022 Update
May has been an eventful month: the end of the semester, an in-between time both seasonally and professionally. It involved a lease renewal (yes, like everyone else, my rent went up — and my security deposit, ugh, which is ... not not legal?). I had to get a dental filling and go back get the … Continue reading May 2022 Update
