Christmas selfie!! Feat. Alex

There are two reasons that Tsubasa Hanekawa (from Monogatari Series) is my profile pic.

...Both are trauma related.

There's a mysterious alien egg in my lava lamp!! 👽👾😱

(Just kidding it's bubbles leftover from when it was turned on I just think it looks neat)

I've started keeping another self care journal! I haven't done this in a year or so but it's important-- it gives me a really nice place to vent and express myself away from prying eyes.

Anyone else here use journals/diaries for #selfcare?

@Heliodora @Kaelyrhn @Angle Don't be sorry! You weren't butting in at all.

I don't know if I'll ever use Diaspora, since I try to limit my social media output to just a couple of cites. Still, it's good to know other websites are doing the whole federated thing. :3

@Angle @Kaelyrhn Oh, nice! I didn't realize that existed. :o

@Kaelyrhn @MariBari Mmm, I use Diaspora. Doesn't have much of a user base at the moment, but I think it would support that functionality pretty well? :/

@MariBari @Angle There's Diaspora, the decentralised Facebook, that might be a sort of sister to Mastodon, and might allow longer blogging? Dunno I haven't seen it.

@Kaelyrhn @Angle Definitely. Now, if Mastodon had a federated sister site for proper blogging, then we'd be off to the races.

...Then again, it'd be much easier to just make a "real blog" on Wordpress or something at that point. Since a blog hosted on its own domain is basically the same functionality. :eo_thinking:

@Angle @MariBari Really long posts might make the current Mastodon UI awkward. That's really the only functionality I think Tumblr have that Mastodon doesn't. Though they might do them different they both have commenting, liking, and sharing, but so does Twitter and Facebook.
And yeah as @MariBari said embedded media is something Tumblr is good at. I also like the way of formatting posts.
Mastodon is more micro-blogging, like Twitter.
That's was long.

@Angle The big thing missing for me is all of the embedded media and support for long, rambling posts that tumblr provides. Like @Kaelyrhn mentions, Mastodon is really meant to be a replacement for twitter, so it makes sense that it's not really made for blogging. :birdsite:

In my experience, though, Mastodon has been a strange hybrid site, like if tumblr and twitter were glued together with actually good web design. It has some functions of both, and some functions of neither.

*turns off notifications from tumblr on my phone*

The evil is defeated :)

I need to stop playing video games but video games are too good ;-;

#Pokemon #UltraAdventure -- Okay I want to do postgame stuff but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 comes out on Friday so there's going to be quite a bit of a delay. Sorry. ._.

A friend from high school is teaching me how to play Civ 4... With a Touhou total conversion mod installed.

It's kind of a mess so far lol
