I am a USAmerican lesbian in her twenties. You are invited to imagine that I live in a beautiful manse, with a beautiful parlor, and a cute maidservant. You are furthermore encouraged to think of me as very beautiful and stylish, and as an inexhaustible source of stimulating conversation. I'm a cat person, but dogs are funny, I suppose?

What could we know quite as well as
Our reflections in the glass?
But even still, that ancient doubt⋯
Could this imaged flesh truly be mine?
Bound as we are to mortality,
We return to base allegory.
Allegory, allegorier, allegoriest—

The site’s primary color palette is based on VSCode’s “Rouge” theme. I used Aimé Bertrand’s Emacs port for a solid half of a year; now that I’ve moved on to differently-tinted pastures, I thought I’d let it live on here.
