An Introduction to Selenography

Testing, testing, 123~

Hi, I'm Ruby! Maybe you know me, maybe not. Either way, I hope you enjoy your time here.

(The most recent thing that people may recognize me from is my involvement with the recent DashCon 2, as the team's Accessibility Coordinator!)

Online blogging has been a big part of my life for a very, very long time, but in my experience sites like Tumblr are more suited to social media and fandom stuff than actual full blog posts. So I've been wanting to set up a more general blog for a while now, and finally decided to go ahead and do that.

This blog is an experiment, so I'm not setting any hard rules for it just yet. That means you might find literally anything in here: food reviews, discussion of books I'm reading or games I'm playing, stories from my offline life, or just commentary and opinions on any number of things.

As for the name, it's the same one I used for a recently-made YouTube channel, which is similarly going to be an assortment of video projects. It's still very new, so there's not much there yet; I promise I'm working on it!

For as long as I can remember, I've always loved space. The sun, moon, stars, and planets are amazing. I wanted to learn astronomy so badly... I still have an interest in it, but I recognize now how much math would be involved, so I usually stick to the folklore and mythology surrounding it instead. 

Still, that made deciding on a name pretty simple: I knew I wanted a space-themed name that wasn't likely to be taken most places, so I settled on Selenography. Scientifically, it refers to the study of the moon, something that you don't often hear people talk about. 

It felt fitting, since I spend a lot of time studying and talking about things that are similarly specific or otherwise tend to be a bit more niche.
