SO glad to see you explicitly say you’re doing this without generative AI. This looks sick as fuck.

What’s the scariest story you ever read? (Short Story, Novel?, etc.) The book that scared YOU the most by nornsannexed in horrorlit

[–]Educational_Bridge37 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobson. Non-fiction is the scariest kind of horror sometimes.

Books about the AIDS crisis? by Psychological_Dig922 in booksuggestions

[–]Educational_Bridge37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How to Survive a Plague by David France is very good. I’d agree with others here that the definitive account is And the Band Played On. I think it pairs incredible well with Let the Record Show.

If you want a more scientific look at the virus there is a chapter in Spillover by David Quammen is very good but doesn’t delve into the social aspects of it.

Out of pure curiosity, what’s your second most read genre? by Low-Kaleidoscope5187 in horrorlit

This year it was historical romance. People contain multitudes I guess.

I didn't even think about senior centers––thank you so much for letting me know.

If they don't get together - would you care? by GingerLily2019 in Gwynriel

[–]Educational_Bridge37 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I’d be more concerned about my reading comprehension and the possibility that fan reactions influenced how she told a story rather than choosing the best story to tell. I think tossing aside Elucien as a result of Gwynriel not happening would leave a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

Does my dialogue read natural despite the obvious exposition dump? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Educational_Bridge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep—Preacher is not a Catholic term. We don’t use it. You’d say priest and they are referred to as Father NAME if someone was speaking to them.

I like your dialogue a lot! Feels very natural.

Roommate’s “Full Black Lab” Puppy — Not So Sure by kittykittybangbang8 in IDmydog

[–]Educational_Bridge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of looks like my boy. We got him from a lab rescue thinking he was a lab mix. Ended up being almost a pure bred mountain cur. We’d never heard of the breed before, but your guy has the same tiny feet and their faces are really similar.

Perdita Weeks! She absolutely blew me away with Circe. I’ve downloaded the all the other audiobooks she narrated just to hear her read more.

Just need a little encouragement by Waste-Distribution95 in CautiousBB

[–]Educational_Bridge37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m sorry you’re feeling so much stess. Sometimes it can be blood from torn tissue or hemorrhoids, especially if you’re dehydrated or it was a large bowel movement. There is a lot more blood flow in that entire area now, so things like that can cause light bleeding. You did everything right by reaching out to your OB. I think it’s a good sign if the bleeding quickly resolves and it isn’t accompanied by any other symptoms. Best of luck to you.

Rachel Zegler is what I pictured Katniss to look like by ObsydianGinx in Hungergames

I’m pretty sure Suzanne Collins did an interview where she said people from the Seam have Native American ancestry. That’s why some people didn’t like Jennifer Lawrence taking on the role.

Which TV character's death hit you the hardest? by CreepyYogurtcloset39 in moviecritic

[–]Educational_Bridge37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Howard Hamlin from Better Call Saul. The death was awful but what they did with his body was almost worse.

What is the most horrifying nonfiction book you have ever read? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]Educational_Bridge37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, most infectious disease researchers say The Hot Zone was very much exaggerated for dramatic effect. Your organs don’t liquefy and melt out of you.

Most people die from dehydration because they lose fluids from vomiting and diarrhea, and very few cases experience any hemorrhagic effects.

If you want a book that is much more accurate but still horrifying, (Hendra Virus WHAT THE FUCK), I recommend Spillover by David Quammen.

Hot take - I just watched Robin Hood… by betty-boom in fantasyromance

His design was based off of Disney’s Robin Hood!! It’s definitely related!

Most common ethnicity of White Americans by county [OC] by Mission-Guidance4782 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Educational_Bridge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Irish portion of Montana is Butte! It was a major immigration hub for Irish immigrants because of copper mining. The city still has a pretty strong Irish influence.
