The production value is crazy with the level of research and work they put into building the sets alone!!! it’s beautiful and I love the power dynamics and political intrigue I can see why so many people are comparing it to early Game of Thrones. All of the Japanese people speak Japanese (subtitled of course) and not to brag but I have a kindergarten level of proficiency in the language 💅 so I feel like that’s finally paying off for me. Best show on TV right now and probably the best show that’s been made in years other than like Severance

Just finished the show a couple of days ago and I straight up went to the r/shogun subreddit to go through the discussions lol. It is such a great show, I loved it. The cast was perfect and the cinematography was so good! Highly recommened if you’re into historical dramas and action

I get the hype. I normally don’t got for period pieces but it actually made me feel in the time and moment. So many characters but they did such a good job with their development that it’s not as confusing as some other shows and they watered the white savior stuff down. Also the wardrobe! The hues of their clothing are so rich. The amount of time they put into historical accuracy, too. I got into it.

I haven’t been this obsessed and looking forward to a show like I have been with Shogun.
Incredible show all around

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

I’ve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretation—preconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your image—selfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. I’ve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? It’s a question worth considering.
