Welcome to splagkhna's archives. Have a look around.

About

This is a place to pass things through after I chew them over, or put my innards on the table and paw through them, or to honor what I honor, or make ambiguous and anxious plans or predictions.

Anything expressed on these pages is my own expression and doesn’t express the opinion of any employer or government agency.
