This is really cool: there's going to be an animated kids' series on PBS about an Alaska Native girl with Native showrunners/writers and voice actors.
WTF, nature: Ancient four-legged whale ancestor with webbed feet and hooves on its toes.

sunshine_challenge as such, but the Challenge #2 looked fun, which was to talk about your username and default icon. My username is a character from one of my unfinished fantasy novels that I worked on in my teens. When I first started writing fanfic in 2000-ish, I initially used my real name (I was used to being in realname parts of the Internet, mailing lists and writing/SF-fandom message boards and such) but quickly realized I was going to want something that wasn't directly connected to my aspiring-pro-writer identity -- mixing the two up was really Not Done in those days. I used this one because it was unique and I figured it wouldn't directly connect to me. I had already occasionally used it on Usenet.
Some of you who have been around here for awhile might remember that the name I used on LJ was Friendshipper, but I eventually decided to change it to Sholio to make it consistent with the name I was using on Ao3 and ff.net.
As for my default icon, the sunshine winter one - there's no particular significance to it. I just think it's pretty.

That IS really cool! and also much-needed!
Thanks for the link: I'd not seen it elsewhere.
Did you hear about the computer game where the main character is Alaskan Inuit?
and when you get through each challenge it unlocks little videos you can watch where Inuit people talk about Inuit history, culture, myths, legends?

I started playing it, and the characters and art work are TRULY LOVELY, as are the little videos with Inuit people that you unlock.
Unfortunately, the game got to a point that my hand/eye coordination and reaction times couldn't get past, so I wasn't able to play much of it and unlock all the interview videos. :(
