I've sat on this empty Leaflet1 for a while, and it's about time I actually do something with it. Many moons ago I self‑hosted a WordPress blog (the horror) and let my hands go wild on the keyboard, but life got chaotic since then and the urge to write faded. Still, things have piled up in my head over the blogless years — more than I could fit into a few 300‑character skeets — so resurrecting a blog feels overdue.
This is Extroverted / Anxious, a blog by .
Aptly named: I may look outgoing and confident on the outside, but I'm screaming and overthinking on the inside. Chaotic, yet composed — much like what you'll come to expect from this blog. There's no set theme or schedule; posts will be sparse or they'll come in a rush. Rambling will happen, but most of it will be worth reading, even if it won't be for everyone — life in general, infodumping on various projects I'm/we're working on, diving into my deep kink side2, tricking computers into doing silly things, and keeping old clunkers rolling.
As for me? My name is Ducky. If you don't know much about me, you'll come to learn more about me if you keep track of this blog (RSS, Leaflet Reader), or follow me on Bluesky. I find it illogical to write a long spiel like I'm the back of a book cover. People are fluid, I'm fluid — heck, in the past two years, barely even 30, I'm questioning things I thought were set in stone about myself. For now, the short bio from my Bluesky should suffice:
🌈 it/its / Homo/Aro · 🇬🇧 Southampton, UK | Sub. Abusable. Makes annoying noises. Drives bangers. Codes magic.
With that little intro out of the way, I hope you find the next few publications enjoyable. A blank text editor, an hour to spare, and maybe my head will be a little less cluttered. And maybe you'll take something away.
Hopefully forever.
