I was raised not to use my real name online, and that led to me just never really using social media. I'll give it a try here on Bluesky, but don't be surprised if I vanish forever one day.

I like Space.

I've been feeling like I want to draw all day, but I spent a lot of time just scrolling instead. So, I went and looked specifically to find an image I could try to sketch.
30 minutes later, and now I have an adorable orchid mantis nymph drawing!
I was so tempted to turn this into Silksong fanart 🎨

Now for the reason I actually opened this app today, like 5 hours ago:
Record keeping!
I make small "soft goals" for myself each week, and bigger ones for the month.
In January, I completed 2/4 monthly goals. (I would say 3/4 but I didn't finish the one until today)
I also did 9/14 weekly goals!

Not my cup of tea. Is this normal here?
I am open to talking to people! I sent my replies before cooking dinner, and came back to see I'm blocked. Why?
I'm not required to answer your questions. But, you should ask them outright instead of asking if you can ask. Now I think you're sus.
Oh well.

I just noticed... It's been 2 weeks since I last posted here. I just got burned out really fast.
Maybe I just chose the wrong week to start my account. I'm not used to the stress of paying attention to social media. I feel like I need to limit the time I spend thinking about the world in general.

I decided I should use this banner I made back in 2018 for my profile here.
I applied a low-poly filter to an image of a Gram stain test I did in college.
I just held my phone camera up to the microscope eyepiece, so it's not a very high-quality image. But the colors are nice.

Now that I'm back at work, I can finally put words to the feeling I had while I was off yesterday.
Guilt. Stress.
I wasn't being useful, so I was being a nuisance even when i'm alone and relaxing. Even when I'm allowed to relax I feel like I shouldn't be.

I forgot that a dusting of snow overnight meant that I probably wouldn't be able to see the sunrise through the clouds today. I regret setting an alarm to wake up early on my day off now, but the untouched snow before all of the plows come through is nice too.
Gonna get some more sleep, now.

Last post today- it's almost 3 am and I should have gone to bed at 2.
Does anyone have any music suggestions? I like a little bit of everything but I want to build a playlist of more recent songs for this year. I've been exploring, but I need more variety than the algorithms are willing to give me.

What I've been doing for the past 3 weeks now: Handwriting a journal entry before bed.
It's a weekly check-in, helping me keep track of progress towards my soft goals (which are like... small resolutions you don't actually HAVE to do) and make a record of things that mattered to me that week.

Note to self: Stop spending an hour overthinking what to write.
This is my first post here. I got an email inviting me to join years ago, and I just... procrastinated.
I'm trying new things this year. Soft goals instead of resolutions.
Yes, it took me over two weeks to start. Happy New Year 2026!
