Strange Machines

• About

  Mephala is a strange and rather interesting human fascinated by handmade stuffed dolls, eloquent speculative poetry, mythical space leviathans, and long calcified dinosaurs. She regularly fantasizes about floating above Jupiter watching the Great Red Spot spit out its eggs. This blog chronicles her adventures on that thrilling roller coaster ride of life, parenting five precocious cats and 1 human baby.
