Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

So I know you're asking for something more serious and less jokey, and I'd love to see the same thing, but this reminded me of one of my all time favorite videos. It's supposed to be a comedy sketch but I always thought it was really wholesome? TW for vomit at the end:

 

Lmao yeah, I saw that while back, wish it was played straighter is all XD

I just, have a real soft spot for abnormal kids, okay. (I'm definitely projecting with my gothpunk autistic disabled ass llmao)

 

Reminds me, I never did get round to reading Every Heart a Doorway.

 

Omg I have this on audiobook dude it's SO GOOD I'm hooked on the series

 

Thinking I might buy a coverless duvet. Save some effort in dexterity.

 

Had to look up what a duvet was, and it's interesting! I personally sleep with a couple of quilts because a comforter (which apparently isn't 1 to 1 with a coverless duvet, it's said they're still most commonly less fluffy and warm) is too hot for the climate I live in. So from what I understand a duvet is like, comforter-like with a cover over it sort of like how pillows have pillowcases? You put the thing in a special case made for it? While comforters tend to be sold in a bed-in-a-bag situation, I'm led to believe you just get a new duvet cover if you wanna spice things up and buy separate other stuff on your bed that matches?

Idk why I'm so into this but it's just neat to me

 

Yeah, that's exactly how it works. I have several different duvet covers with matching pillows. It's for practical laundry reasons as well as aesthetic ones.

I think it's also way more common in Europe than it is in the US to have plain white sheets and have the duvet cover and pillow covers be the interesting colourful parts of the bed.

 

Yeah, and changing the cover on the things is as much of a nightmare of fumbling as you can imagine. I'm thinking a dealie where you can just run the whole thing through the wash as necessary would be easier.

 

Hilariously my duvet is one of the things I miss most dearly about living in England. The multiple blankets/quilts thing works best in most places in the US where the temperature varies wildly so you need to add/remove layers throughout the year, but having one big fluffy that I just snuggled under was so nice.

i found everything about laundry more difficult in England so the duvet cover scramble was just shuffled into that in general for me

 

Spirit Rangers is a really cute show, but why the hell did Netflix think that a show about Native American mythology set on Native American land needed to be dubbed with British accents??? Do they think English kids are that incapable of comprehending American speech?

 

British toddlers watching American shows too much develop American accents - it’s something they do to make sure the kids don’t end up sounding American, not to make it understandable to them. At least that’s the impression I got when I was an animator in England
