So I just changed my username, because I've definitely grown out of "Glinchan", and to be honest, it kind of makes me wince. I kind of feel like it's appropriating Japanese culture for my own gain, and even though it might not be as blatant as some instances of that, it still makes me really uncomfortable. It's prevented me from commenting and being active in fandom, so I figured it was time to change it. I'm a white girl, I don't need to be doing that shit. I'm also a huge astronomy nerd, so I really wanted "Cepheid_variable", but that was already taken, so I went with "Delta_cephei", which is a binary star system and the first recognized instance of a cepheid variable.
I've also deleted a bunch of entries from about a year and a half ago, because they're all from a very difficult time in my life and it kind of hurts to read them. Hears to starting fresh!
