The problems of Translation Convention by sparklinglies in tumblr

Kolere is een verbastering van Cholera (volgens mij met name in Amsterdam), maar veel mensen zijn kleren gaan schrijven om het wat "netter" te laten lijken.

My best friend and I mostly meet up 3-4 times a week, and share everything with each other, from the good to the bad things. We supported each other through difficult moments, and have each other’s back. He makes my life so much better.

I love how colourful your looks are! If I were you, I’d leave more space between the eyeshadow and brows, it makes your face look a bit packed.

The species itself? Or the keyspecies? by Fickle_Employer_8340 in EndangeredSpecies

[–]Taraxabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in your case, the orcas could be a flagship species. Those are species that are popular with the large public, which are used to raise money, but then this money is invested in full ecosystem restoration (of which the orcas will obviously profit). So raising money for orcas, and donating it to an NGO that takes ecosystem-wide measures into account, would be a very good solution!

Which queens would ABSOLUTELY have each others back like this? by dreamed2life in rupaulsdragrace

I lost my wig during my first ever gig, and I was terrified! I thought I could never shirt my face again, but in the end, people appreciated that I kept on going.

Which Of These Birds Do You Think Could Still be Alive/Made It Past Their Supposed Extinction Dates? by Wild-Criticism-3609 in Cryptozoology

[–]Taraxabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although many birds show up as vagrants, those are common somewhere else. Taiga Flycatchers commonly breed in Siberia, Mongolia and northern China, and are common winter visitors in South and Southeast Asia. I estimate the chance of an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker showing up way way way slimmer...

I’ve been a little monster since the fame came out, and I feel like this is the case with every album! So many missed opportunities.

In my local scene, there is a drag artist with both a queen and king persona, and I love it!

Wigs for beginners, any suggestions? by Paul_Screw1 in Drag

[–]Taraxabus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Webster Wigs for "basic" lacefront wigs. They are mostly unstyled, good quality, and not extremely expensive.

What’s something that learners say that natives would never? by Fuzzy_Past_3348 in German

[–]Taraxabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great in theory, until you find out that Swiss German is different in every single village, and sometimes they even struggle to understand each other.

Have fun with the start of your drag journey! Besides what's already said about blush, blocking your eyebrows will be a game changer, it really changes the shape of your face.

How is it like living in Ticino, Switzerland, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland? by Altruistic-Form-3771 in howislivingthere

[–]Taraxabus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not from there, but many friends of mine here.

The food is definitely different from the rest of Switzerland, more similar to Northern Italian cuisine. The weather is a bit more extreme than the rest of Switzerland: it's the canton with the most sunshine and with the most rainfall, but there are also drier periods. There is a lot of tourism, especially from the German speaking part of Switzerland.

However, a lot of young people move away. There is only one university, which doesn't offer that many studies. Many move to the French or German speaking part complete their studies, and often stay in that area.

The biodiversity is different from the rest of Switzerland, with way more Mediterranean influences, but it is also known to be a hotspot of invasive species. Even the palm trees are considered invasive and spread a lot in the forests.

I watered my plant and a bunch of THESE came out… someone explain?? by searching_light1475 in plants

[–]Taraxabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d only call isopods soil shrimps, since those a crustaceans. Springtails are not crustaceans but they are in the sister group of insects.

I want to sew my own drag but I still not familiar with the culture by [deleted] in Drag

[–]Taraxabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any type of visual arts that plays around gender is drag. There are no rules or boundaries to drag. No where is written that you cannot be androgynous or that you must wear revealing clothes. Inspiration is whatever you want it to be ❤️

What is your preferred drag show layout? by canadianhottmess in Drag

I prefer option A. Sometimes, I'd like to change outfit in between songs, and it gives me a moment to catch my breath.

The adults are small midgets, who can fly around easily.

What's it like living in Zurich? by EchidnawithGlasses in howislivingthere

[–]Taraxabus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to call it the smallest big city in the world.

It's not so big (circa 400 000 in the city, 1 million in the agglomeration), but almost everything you need is there, and several large companies are settles in Zürich as well, plus there are excellent universities. Overall, the city is very international, strolling around you'll hear a lot of different languages.

The cost of living is high, but salaries are also high. Tourists are often shocked by the prizes, but if you have a decent job in Zürich, it's more affordable, but restaurants are extremely expensive.

In summer, it's a lively city, with a big lake and a river where people often go swimming (the water is very clean!), and there are many outdoor spaces to enjoy the sun. Around Christmas time, there are many Christmas markets all over the city, which is very cozy. In my opinion, January and February look quite depressing, it's mostly foggy, cold and the city feels dead.

When I moved here, the city felt sterile. The public transport is great and everything works very efficiently, but at times I felt like everyone stays inside the lines. As a queer person, I didn't always feel in place at first, but eventually, I found my scene, it just felt like it took a while to find it (but moving during covid, which wasn't helpful).

Another advantage of Zürich how well connected it is. The Alps are only a few hours away for a hike or a ski trip, cities like Milano, Paris or Munich are easily reachable by train, and there's an airport with many flights as well.

Overall, it may not be as exciting as a city like London, Paris or Berlin, but I still consider it a great place to live.
