Becoming Someone I Like

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 04:02:51 GMT

Rogan: You know, it's funny. I was looking back through some of the old entries in this blog, about my ridiculous experiences at the 2019 Straight Pride protest and the 2025 Clown March, how I ended up writing my own future with Send In the Clowns. and it just dawned on me: I've become someone I really like and respect.

( Weird, how did that happen? )

Graves, Flowers, and Traumatic Growth

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 19:01:16 GMT

Rogan: Well, this is something I have been keeping a secret for the past year, but it looks like I might have finally finished my personal memory work. Since September 2024, I have had only a few episodes, all triggered under extremely specific, unusual circumstances and all fairly easy to deal with. As I've waited to see if I'm truly done, I've come to find a lot of discussions about trauma lacking. As one therapist of mine once called it, there's a lot of talk of traumatic injury, and barely any about traumatic growth.

( Looking back from where I am. )

Life is Good

Sneak: I've bugfixed more of healthymultiplicity.com! Dillo is truly the best, it's made error fixing and access testing so much easier. T_T All that remains are our individual comics pages, which... ooh, that's a lot. (In the future, we might just upload .PDFs or .CBZs for anything longer than a couple pages, because manually making individual web pages for each comics page really racks up fast every time I update the site.)

It's still trapped in HTML 4, but upgrading everything to HTML 5 manually is a no thank you today.

Also, Orion OCR-ed My Double Mystic Marriages to Two Goddesses of Love: an Interview, so now all of our bookscanned PDFs are at least somewhat screenreadable and searchable! :D They also converted that big old bibliography into plain text, which I'm thinking of manually editing and posting up here! :D

( A vindication of our professional life choices. )

Contraction and Expansion

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 21:09:23 GMT

Soooo, a couple years back, I didn't have a nervous breakdown so much as I had a nervous crack, which I realized could rapidly roll downhill into a full-on breakdown unless I took drastic sanity-saving action. So I did. The important actions, as far as this blog is concerned, is: I locked up my (to then, overwhelmingly public) fiction writing, stopped taking writing polls and requests, and cut a lot of people from my Dreamwidth access list.

It made my blog (and my work) a lot less interesting, but at the time, that's what I needed: deadly global plague was all the excitement I could (barely) handle. And indeed, it worked! I started climbing out of the COVID hole, and now I feel like I'm in a place where I can start expanding again. (Also, Patreon keeps pulling unwanted rabbits out its hat, so I find myself motivated to find ways to reward people for moving to my LiberaPay instead.)

Right now, I'm working on getting together a prose roster for y'all to start voting on, unlocking my writing like I used to, and planning my way forward. Stay tuned for that! I plan to reinstitute polls and requests again.

Also, if you want to be on my basic access filter (or were on filters and got removed), please feel free to request to be re-added. (Exception: if I've blocked you. If you're blocked, you can't comment, so you'll know.) My access filters are basically me out of "work persona," discussing system life and so on. It's generally not for writing, artwork, or multi history/resources; if that's what you're here for, you do NOT want to be on any of my filters. Basically, my public blog is work and utterly inoffensive stuff; my access filters are personal.

It's good to be coming back after a long haul. And I'm relieved I managed to avoid a total collapse.

I will be quieter online for a bit!

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 02:01:35 GMT

Rogan: Hey, I wanted to let people know, recently I've been dealing with brainstuff that requires curtailing online social activities. Nobody has been giving me trouble or anything like that; this is just me needing to make some (hopefully short-term) life changes to maintain stability. I will still be posting art and work stuff.

Thank you for your patience!

EDIT: Aaaaand Patreon is glitching out on me for some reason. Sorry folks who only get half a update on there; for some reason it won't let me view my posts or upload files, and it's late so I'm throwing in the towel and hoping it sorts itself out tomorrow.

New family portrait

Every few years, we make a system family portrait. Now we have four of them!

Feral Dumpster Rat

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 23:54:10 GMT

Rogan: There's a part of my brain I call Feral Dumpster Rat. It's not a headmate, it's just a behavior pattern and way of seeing the world. (Sorta like Edward Cullen, only Edward Cullen is way more ridiculous and entertaining to talk about.)

( One day, it will have a DOOM icon. )
