When Duke hangs out with Kinger, the pair play and cuddle together and Kinger talk to Duke about bugs as he knows it's what Queenie would do.

When Boe is with Gangle, she plays and cuddles them and she teaches them how to draw.

meanwhile with Zooble and they cuddle and play with Boe, they help Boe choose the ears they wanna wear for the day and they let Boe nibble the body parts they don't like.

When Charlie is with Pomni, she plays and cuddles him and teaches him to be kind, brave, loyal and comforts him when he had a panic attack

I thought this might come up.

The short version is that you need to make a doorway, face toward the hole, and then place the door against the wall. Not the ground.

Hi, writingwithcolor,

I saw a post here: https://writingwithcolor.tumblr.com/post/634627583386042368/worldbuilding-with-yokai-original-yokai

And I wanted to ask a question regarding those new to employing diversity.

What did the mods mean by those reaching for “low hanging fruit (Japanese and Jewish cultures)” due to nervousness/newness to employing diversity?

Does this mean that writers are resorting to writing cultures that they’re more familiar with, or is it more like, writing cultures that they may have more positive/philo-like biases toward in the first place (e.g. philosemitism vs. more obviously bad bias against cultures that aren’t “low hanging fruit”).

In the above context, I was referring to writing about cultures with which the writer is more familiar. In my opinion, Judaism is often more familiar to people who grew up in Western environments dominated by cultural Christianity. I similarly think Japanese culture is perceived by many Western audiences as more familiar because of how pervasive our pop culture is on a global level compared to other non-white cultures.

We don’t have any Chrysler drawings that have been digitized in the National Archives Catalog, but there is a set of photos of a prototype turbine-powered Chrysler LeBaron and a gas turbine engine from a series of @nasa records:
