This is Housebird. It is a titanic archetype that someone decided to build a small house on and give as a gift to the mayor of New Pari. Then, after a complex series of accidents, my protagonists “borrowed” Housebird and now they all live on it. It’s like living on an private jet that eats trees sometimes and has a (pretty dumb) mind of its own.

The small room jutting out the back of the house is the control room, where you can set coordinates and send them as telepathic impulses to Housebird. Housebird usually obeys them because hey, it’s an immortal bird the size of a four story building, it’s not like it has anything better to do. There is also a direct steering controller, but it is much less reliable as Housebird usually ignores it.

The house itself is a ridiculous feat of engineering that I’m still working on designing. If you are wondering ‘but how the fuck does X work’ there is most likely already an explanation, I’m just not writing it here.

Housebird is named that because my protagonists are not very good at naming things. Though it does eventually acquire the nickname “Mayor,” because it is the ‘mayor of a city containing exactly one house.’

perfect. a perfect thing.

I had this conversation with my husband earlier today and I’ll try to break it down with you.

Basically, this guy is all ‘oh but I want equality for EVERYONE!’ yet he is neglecting the fact that since currently there ISN’T equality for women and minorities, we’re going to make a big stink about it because we’re fucking allowed to, and he’s trying to make that seem like making a big stink is a bad thing.

What I told my husband is this: ’because if you believed that everyone should be equal, you’d believe that people who are currently NOT equal are entitled to be angry about that inequality.’

So when women and other minorities make big strides, that’s a thing to be praised and a thing to be looked upon with great excitement because women and other minorities ARE NOT equal, and when we do something that pushes us forward towards equality, that’s something that should be publicized so other people (men women and nonbinary genders alike) can see it and get motivated and see that change is necessary. 

Right now, the male sex has a lot of advantages over everyone else. They make more money, hold more positions of power in politics and media, and use the female sex as a commodity. Granted, males are used as a commodity as well, but not NEARLY even remotely as much as the female sex. 

If things were perfectly equal and we were all on the same even playing field and everything was completely even between everyone and nobody was being oppressed, that would be great. 

Unfortunately, when you have a (presumably) white, heterosexual, cisgendered man complaining about how not ALL men are bad and it’ isn’t fair to HIM that he has to care about feminism because he isn’t part of the problem, he actually is because he’s perpetuating that mindset. 

True, not all men are assholes. But a great deal of men are, and that’s who the TED talk was focusing on. 

Hope that clears it up.

Also my friend Kelly gave me her two cents:

[12:32:46 AM] kurumi: that guy’s whole spiel was basically “EVERYONE SHOULD BE EQUAL SO DON’T SEPARATE OUT WOMEN FROM MEN” and it’s pretty obvious from societal standards that the guys who say that? they’re not saying that men should be able to be feminine and all that shit

[12:33:07 AM] kurumi: they’re saying that women should just fit into the men’s standards instead of making the standards equal so everyone CAN fit in however they want

[12:33:58 AM] kurumi: they want the puzzle piece from the 100+ cat puzzle to fit into their 250+ dog puzzle, they don’t want to have to go and buy a new puzzle where all the pieces fit together

[12:34:28 AM] kurumi: i think idk i’m having trouble communicating my deepseated loathing for dudes who go “WHY CAN’T EVERYTHING BE EQUAL” when women start being “uppity”

and then my friend roach added her input as well:

[12:44:09 AM] roach: Also yeah I agree with all of this. And it’s absurd to suggest that talking about ways women SPECIFICALLY are victimised by men somehow MAKES them victims.

[12:44:40 AM] roach: Quite a lot of the problems keeping women victimised is the way everyone dismisses their pain and silences their anger.

[12:45:19 AM] roach: Bringing up the ways women and minorities ARE and CONTINUE to be disenfranchised for the comfort and benefit of men and majorities is THE BEST WAY to raise awareness of how this happens

[12:45:25 AM] roach: and work towards a world where it doesn’t.

[12:45:57 AM] roach: to do otherwise is like trying to cure someone’s disease by hitting them every time they say they have a disease

[12:46:03 AM] roach: then call them a big fucking whiner who was lying anyway

[12:46:30 AM] roach: when they finally get tired of getting hit while also being sick

[12:46:34 AM] roach: and say ‘okay fine I’m not sick’

[12:47:07 AM] roach: you can’t work towards a cure if you don’t let sick people tell you how they’re hurting.

internet arguing

lexyeevee:

i’m watching mel take a lot of flak atm for… erm, well, ultimately for saying that someone’s joke wasn’t funny. but it has mutated into some kind of crusade against her merely for being brazen

now, i’ve been on this here innernette a while. coming up on fifteen years. and i’ve spent a lot of that time being a loudmouthed jackass. i went through a period of several years where i was actively antagonistic, starting acerbic arguments over nonsense just because i enjoyed arguing.

i’ve been wracking my brains for some ten minutes here because, you see

i cannot think of one single time that someone told me to calm down or act nice or be respectful for its own sake

it must have happened, surely, right? yet not one incident in fifteen years comes to mind, even thinking about times i was a maximal jerkwad and someone should have called me out on it

yet mel is merely blogging (well, not even that), scrawling out quick responses to questions people come to her to ask, and there has been a constant theme over the years about how she’s not nice enough

what’s the difference

no, really, what is the fucking difference

i will tell you my only hypothesis

consider: does anyone tell TheDJTC to be nice, or do they just tell him he’s a jackass? does anyone ever get on marl’s case for being mindbogglingly blunt? did anyone call mike out for anything, ever?

here is your explanation, then

i present as a boy. mel presents as a girl.

boys are expected to be aggressive and raucous. girls are expected to be passive and quiet. boys are expected to make the marriage proposal; girls are expected to just say yes.

i will bet you anything that mel would not get anywhere near the amount of sophomoronic drivel (both directly and behind her back) about her tone if she were a boy

so there you go tumblr

this is you

picking on a girl for refusing to stay seen and not heard

“no,” you’re already saying as you go to reply to me, “that’s not true, i don’t hate girls”

and yet you still don’t want to tell me i’m antagonistic or should be more polite; you just want to tell me i’m wrong. because you think of me as a boy, so speaking my mind is expected and acceptable. am i right?

am i?

Roxy whispers to Roxy > last night was me

Roxy whispers to Roxy > night before was karkat

If Roxy hadn’t said those to HERSELF she woulda been dead a day earlier!

I feel so bad I let it go on so long looking back over it, haha.
