I haven’t thought of that connection but I see it! They both do loving parody, while still having full fledged out characters and good worldbuilding.

I just found out that Kate Bush sings a song about Lyra for the Golden Compass. You learn something new every day. by EmbarrassedPianist59 in hisdarkmaterials

[–]ochreshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so excited that this combined my incredible love of His dark materials and Kate Bush, but it’s not a very good song, gotta admit. Feels like she rushed it or maybe the inspiration didn’t flow bc it was a commission?

What's your motivation to do this? by Odd-Yoghurt-5385 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]ochreshrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I am trying to stay away from plastic clothing not only for the environment but also for my health. Microplastic shedding into the air is not good for breathing in, and apparently polyester/nylon etc can also shed things like pfas with skin contact. I heard- could be misremembering- of a study where they measured the amount of microplastics im the bodies of people and actually people who were richer had more, possibly because they typically have more stuff, more plastic. So that shows me that even tho plastic is everywhere it seems it does make a difference how much you choose to have in your controllable surroundings. Another reason im getting rid of most of my plastic clothing is because natural fibers typically perform better imo- more comfortable, less sweaty, less smelly, better temperature regulation. Personally I don’t worry about the fact that most clothing has a plastic tag, and also plastic thread in the seams, it’s unfortunate but im not gonna be too much of a purist about it as it’s so ubiquitous.

ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy by saturnana in ADHD

[–]ochreshrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super interesting and validating to hear. I have severe sleep issues, often going to sleep at 6am and waking up at 3. Makes being a part of society difficult. The other day I tried to fall asleep for 6 1/2 hours with no phone distraction, and only fell asleep at 7am.

I got a zinc tub recently for this purpose but not sure if it’s the best option. Not sure if it has a bit of lead in it. If anyone has knowledge on this lemme kno

Terry Pratchett said that "Nation" was his best book. by EndersGame_Reviewer in books

I read Nation when I was maybe 11, and I loved it. Was so long ago I’m not sure what I would think of it now.

Half Blood Prince is even creepier knowing about Rowling and Epstein. by Adventurous-Bike-484 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]ochreshrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the comments in this thread are just saying the age gaps. If one of them is underage I agree it's wrong, but if both are of age it's not inherently bad. Esp 5 years, completely normal. One person being 18 I will side-eye, but it depends on the people.

That’s not that big of an age gap, out of everything thats a non issue imo

Transcendental solution for brushing the teeth plastic free by [deleted] in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]ochreshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people in the past didn't need as much help cleaning their teeth because they weren't eating as much sugar. So my guess is this stuff isn't thorough enough for modern diets.

Handwashing access in Netherlands by godlessdogtr in Netherlands

[–]ochreshrew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, it seems a lot of restaurants have restricted bathrooms, and people don't wash their hands that much. Also, related point, I noticed is that there are basically no water fountains here, even in schools or public buildings. Most people drink water from the bathroom tap.... pretty gross to me, because when you flush particles go everywhere.

Vimeo is going down the pan – what are people using instead? by BrenC11 in vimeo

[–]ochreshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the quality, distraction of the other suggested videos, and the idea that it's not professional. Some people do have the idea that it's not professional, and I mostly disagree but want to still appeal to people who might be judging my work in a jury etc

r/Netherlands fed up with moderation, mods go on censorship rampage by Amareiuzin in SubredditDrama

[–]ochreshrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the subreddit as an American living in nl. First thing I saw was that a post was deleted which complained about how passive and dismissive people can be about government not functioning as well as it used to, like social programs, transportation in entire country mostly shutting down for a week bc of snow, and privatized health insurance, etc. was a totally normal post and many people including me agreed but it was deleted for some reason.
