28/02/2026 - February Retrospective

=== Thoughts ===

A lot's happened in February, so I want to take stock of it. This is self-indulgent celebration post, so... indulge me!

First things first, I started this blog. I'm grateful for any of you who drop by to see what's ticking in my brain, or if you've found anything useful about the stuff I've platformed.

Secondly, my writing pace has been both astonishing and sustainable. You can see the projects below, but across all of them that's about 25,000 words in a month, balanced with my full-time job besides. I'm proud of that, and I'm amazed at how that hasn't felt like a lot.

Thirdly, I've moved closer to my goal of de-Americanising my tech stack. Be that in little ways, like uninstalling Instagram or big, like changing browser it's really helped me to feel more in control of my data and my privacy.

Finally, it's just been a very good month. Work's been stressful but I've managed to keep my head above it. Everything I wanted to do I've been able to do, and I've also kicked off the beginnings of a fitness routine (shoutout to that one friend who made a touching grass channel in their server).

Thank you all for coming along for the ride. Here's to March!
