    My artistic vision is still something I’m working on… I’ll get there eventually. I have tried painting, I’m just… Not confident in my ability to accurately depict anything other than scribbles.

    For now, have a picture:

    Blue tree

    My brother informed me it is purple.


  • Not sure that’s right.

    Mind you, I fully agree with you on Bluesky, but I think Threads really isn’t much different.

    For example, say this integration is fully accomplished. Fediverse users wouldn’t have a real reason to switch to Threads, but because Threads is a much larger platform all future users are gonna go there, and not to the rest of the Fediverse. That, already, I think is an issue. Then, because it’s a bigger platform, most communities are gonna start to be populated mostly by Threads users - simply because numbers rule. The 2nd E comes into play: extend. The protocols are extended. At first, it might not be enough to switch - just some quality of life changes, maybe - but the more stuff is added, the more the experience for the Threads users - aka, the majority of the users on any given community on the Fediverse - starts to diverge from the rest of the users. Now, at this point, a Fediverse user has two choices: either ignore this, or switch. Sure, many will just ignore it - the people on the Fediverse right now are the kind of people that would tend to ignore that, anyway - but plenty won’t, because it’s SOCIAL media. SOCIAL! If your experience differs significantly from your peers, that will bother you, and you will want to change, especially if you’re in the crushing minority.

    Embrace, extend, extinguish.

    Hey, maybe I’m wrong! Hopefully, even. However, I do see it happening. Hope I got my point across.





















  • Well, that’s a complicated question.

    On one hand, I do already hang-out with myself basically all the time. I talk to myself a lot and I’m my own wall to throw stuff at.

    On the other hand, I’m also very antisocial. I would definitely not enjoy spending this time that I spend with myself with another, physical person.

    So, that.

    When I was a young girl, seeing female protagonists kick ass was always something I loved! (Her being Asian like me was a bonus.) I’m sure there is a healthy dose of nostalgia there.

    I’ll say, I also really love women kicking ass in my media. I remember loving Winx Club, Code Lyoko, W.I.T.C.H, and Kim Possible as a kid, especially Shego (I really loved Shego).

    Mulan marries Shan Yu.

    Mulan marries Li Shang! I also confuse their names sometimes… I had to look it up just to make sure. Shan Yu is the Hun main villain… It would’ve been really cool if Mulan married him, though, I wonder what would’ve had to happen for that turn of events to occur.
