月之光影 -Moonlight Shadow-

via J-bit Animation

I made this animation in 2008/12 by ink and edited with AfterEffect. This animation compared the transgender to the gynandromorph.

The lost butterfly got stuck in the fishbowl which is as same as the unreasonably preconceived idea. Some butterflies ignored, but some butterflies came to help.

We hope all of us, no matter the gender and sex orientation, will love and beloved each other.

Recently, I considered living without Google. The idea came up to me after reading the reflection from @switchingsoftware.

switching.social – Ethical alternatives to popular sites and apps https://switching.software/

I agreed with SwitchingSocial's perspective so that my first step was trying to conduct my mobile life without Google services. However, it was really hard in practice and required some time to build new habits.

For these reasons, my mobile phone, Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (Samsung G360G) which has 1G RAM / 8G ROM / 32G microSD and operates in Android 4.4.4 system, is doing its best to install these applications. I change the default launcher into T-UI Launcher and use Holo Launcher for daily work.

Then I switched Google Services to alternatives.

　　好陣子沒寫語言學習的文章了，我們都深知堅持的困難，兩天打魚三天曬網，不過沒發文倒也不代表我已就此放棄，而是在根據自己的生活作息調整嘗試各種方法。

　　現在個人的學習規劃主要是以LingQ這個平台為主體來進行，並佐以Flipboard和Pocket輔助：

1. Flipboard蒐集自己有興趣的閱讀材料（文章、影音），存到Pocket，同時練習快速略讀。

2. 在Pocket讀完全文，確認文章難度和內容精彩度來決定是否收錄至LingQ，再用NaturalReader補足音檔。

3. 匯入至LingQ學習：聽、讀、說、寫。

4. 匯出單字和片語到其他工具複習：Quizlet、Anki、Flashcards等。

　　這看似就只是一個找資料、閱讀、複習單字等平凡無奇的過程，為何需要這麼多工具呢？這些工具其實都有各自的作用，當然撇開這些工具，回歸最原始的看書看英文學習雜誌、背例句單字、寫考題也不是不行，但套裝雜誌和教科書的內容未必讓你感興趣，再說現在大部分人拿手機的時間會比拿書多，而這些工具的特色就在於蒐集和整理網路資料相當方便，學習這件事最事半功倍也最重要的還是莫過於「找自己有興趣的材料來學習」， 所以接下來會一一圖文講解這個流程。
