Wasteland
Imperiatrix
My name is Aelphaba Sweetbriar, I'm 25 years old, and use
they/them pronouns
I enjoy
old tech, video games, and music. I'm an artist, and
zinester and I dabble in everything, really.
This site functions as a
place for me to put a lot of my creative energy towards, as well as a place where I can share my
thoughts, feelings, and stories without worrying about the confinds of traditional social media.

♡ Wow! this site is about a year old now, and y'all have been so supportive of it, I'm so
grateful. To be honest, I don't know where the direction of this is going, but I do plan on adding more
stuff (and maybe doing a whole site rework?) I don't know yet, but I guess that's the fun of it :)
♡ New zine is up, Directionless. I've been
having a lot of trouble with art block lately, and this was an attempt to get those feelings out.
♡ My blog is going to be updated more, so feel free to check that out - I have a few things planned
that are in the works.
06/10/2022
♡ Oh man, it's been a busy few months! A couple of little quality of life updates today,
mostly to make the site easier to use in the long run.
♡ New recipes are up, check out Potions for drink
inspiration.
♡ Also up is a little thing I wrote during the beginning of Covid back in March of 2020, The Importance of __ In Strange Times, AKA: Contemplation I'm
not quite sure where this one is going, and I'm not quite sure if it's even finished yet. I'm playing it
by ear C:
♡ In other news, I have recieved a recipe box containing several generations worth of family
recipes, so look out for news about that, because I have a new project in mind.
04/25/2022
♡ More big updates today! For starters, there's now a Site Map for
ease of navigation, it works with all internal pages on here, so external ones won't be listed.
♡ A few new pages are live, specifically in The Garden, so check those out when you can!
There will be more added over time, this is just the beginning.
04/24/2022
♡ Quite a few updates today, most notably The Garden replacing
Self
Love Manifesto. Have no fear,
the Self Love Manifesto is still there. I've decided to turn The Garden into more of a conceptual space
rather than the Materia Medica I had planned. Stay tuned for more updates to this section, as this gives
me
WAY more space - I also have a new section planned, which you will see a preview of!
♡ Added a bunch of links to mutuals and others' lovely websites you should check out!
04/04/2022
♡ Bunch of smaller updates, mostly aesthetic, such as font changes, and shifting things around
a
bit.
♡ Updated the Recipe Book to be more consistent,
and
to allow for easier organizing (also, new recipe! Chicken
Soup)
♡ New entry in the Self Love Manifesto

around
the web, and Dragon Hoard to find my colleciton of blinkies
and
stamps.

comments
and notes, I'm glad you like my site, and I'm grateful to be part of such an awesome and inspiring
thing. The Indie web rocks
03/18/2022
♡ I'm now part of the Yesterweb webring! The yesterweb is super funky and I'm so
excited to
be

part of such a cool community. You can visit the Yesterweb here.
They've got
all sorts of resources for learning html, making a website of your own, and so much more.
03/15/2022

without
affecting the text.

♡ My Shrine to the Morrigan is finally up! Feel free to check it out here
♡ More blog updates, lmao...I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this,
right
now
I'm testing out an RSS feed linked to a new Dreamwidth account. Lets see how this works - I have
good
hopes ngl.
♡ I'm a Neocities supporter now! Finally took the dive, considering I plan on using this a
LOT
it
makes sense that I'd need the space - I'm thinking moreso in the future when I've got plenty of
zines
and stuff up.

it

♡ I said this on the activity page, but I'm putting it here for posterity, I've moved
my
blog
to gemspace! When you click the link it will take you to an http:// proxy service so if you
can't
access
gemini:// you can still read my blog c:
♡ Added a status update bar, and moved guestbook link to my footer, should be easier now,
and I
can
do more frequent updates!
Work In Progress
♡ Going to be taking some time and updating the About section to include information on
our
system, as well as it's members. Debating if I want to out myself as a fictional character or
not,
but
it's already there, its just a matter of Who I Am. Because Aelphaba is just a pseudonym.
02/26/2022
♡ Mini site overhaul today, including a new section dedicated to Witchcraft.

code
and
it's working a LOT better now.
02/25/2022
♡ I am now part of a Zinester Webring, run by Metaparadox so that's pretty funky! To be
honest,
I
didn't know what a webring was until today but it's a super cool concept and I'm excited to be
part
of
one

♡ My first Zine is live!
You
can
read it here! a great
many thanks goes to AlienMelon as well as Jeremy Oduber for creating the software I used to
make
this
zine, as well as the coding to host it. Check out the Electric Zine Maker if you wanna
fuck
around with the software yourself. It's a lot of fun, and I might actually end up using it to
make
most
of my zines from now on
02/23/2022
♡ Finished the core of the webpage, for the most part.
♡ still working on
implementing Zine reader, but that's likely gonna take a bit to do.
♡ Really liking
html &
css

looks
