@ATMumford1 I would have to say the Deep, for the pullability of the writing, and the Ocean of Life, for the realism and pertinent messages of it. Cold Pastoral was also a good read once I read a poem at least twice.
@StrebleV@mermaidgorl There's a cinderella adaptation that has a so called mermaid/witch as the fairy god mother. She has completely human form though, and from what I remember wasn't overly sexualized, but she wasn't part fish so I dont know if she really counts. #hon436
@StrebleV @Cassidy58507556 I was going to mention the war between humans and nature. A war to conquer the untamed and unruly. To master nature rather than be part of it. You beat me to it though :) #hon436
@mermaidgorl@Elizabe68988415 Eating local is also something that many people are striving for to help boost local economy and encourage smaller carbon footprints as it lowers the closer your food supply is. #hon436
@mermaidgorl@Elizabe68988415 We wouldn't get sea food but could still get fish and crawdads if the fresh water systems weren't so polluted. All streams and rivers have eating advisories here, which was a shock after living in CA and I never even thought twice about the fish from those rivers. #hon436
@StrebleV@mermaidgorl I keep coming back to this comment. I think I disagree with memories being our soul. My soul feels different than being in my head. It feels more around my heart. A phantom essence within my breast. Idk. Maybe quarantine is getting to me. #hon436
@BradyAl81311204 I think naming of characters is always a special way to give a little more insight into a story. I have a character whose name means "beautiful" in ancient Egyptian. She's an old woman and it will be something she mentions to be feisty, in a teasing way, with young male. #hon436
@mermaidgorl Memories can be painful. Many myths circle around a drug sometimes called nepenthe, which makes the user forget to ease their sorrow. It pops up in modern stories as well such as in the original Charmed and Once Upon a Time. #hon436
@StrebleV@mermaidgorl There is also the thought though that we live on through our descendants remembering of us, so in Yetu's mind it may be murder but it is also everlasting life on the ancestors side of things. #hon436
@StrebleV Water births are said to be less traumatic for the newborn. My husband and I just watched the 1st season on Witcher, so I know that reference! Doesn't happen often for me. #hon436
@Cassidy58507556 It is a terrible burden. And she has to hold that burden until she picks/trains a new historian for their society. Reminds me of sacrificial animals/people that "must" die to appease the gods.

@Elizabe68988415 Japan was banned from eating four legged animals??? That's crazy to me. Awesome presentation. It surprises me that they dont some aboriginal whaling rights though! #hon436
@abcluk01 Most of my archive has been about deep sea mining. From what I understand, oil rigs usually aren't as deep as polymetalic nodules are. So there are many connections still with disaster's on the ecosystems around these human activities. #hon436
