When their humans left, the houses were left to fend for themselves.
Most sank into a state perhaps analogous to a coma, uncaring of what
became of them or of what wildlife nested in their eaves.Some
houses attempted to attract or entrap more residents. These were for the
most part easily avoided. Mourning dove carcasses would pile up inside
the front door, and any explorer who ignored a large stack of dead birds
was considered to deserve whatever happened to them.A few,
enraged at their abandonment, became frankly dangerous and had to be
burned. In those cases, even the remains of foundations were believed
have an unpleasant effect upon the sensitive.(This content sponsored by patrons! Who are probably questioning their life choices right now!)

DEADLINE to block anti-transgender attacks
DEADLINE to block anti-transgender attacks
I’d really like to continue to be able to use the bathroom when I visit my home state. So would the thousands of trans folks who live in the Evergreen State. Be better than a bystander. Get involved. Contribute. I just did.

speaking of misogyny
let me tell you guys something that ACTUALLY happened in my screenwriting class last week
one of the female writers in our class is writing a feature about this gang of teenage girls who sort of become vigilantes and murder men who harass women (that’s a shitty logline of it but it’s actually fucking awesome and highly stylized and over-exaggerated like tarantino in a good way bc i fucking hate tarantino). ANYWAY their first kill is this guy named taylor. taylor is one of the girl’s boyfriends. it is heavily implied and the writer confirmed that he abuses and rapes her. not explicitly seen, but she has bruises, there are scenes implying it etc.
so. she wrote the part where they kill taylor. and one of my professor’s comments was about how he felt like he didn’t hate taylor enough.
to which me and my female friend were like um what?? we hate him. he fucking raped and abused her. wE HATE HIM. HE IS A HORRIBLE PERSON.
and my prof was like well yeah i hate him but i don’t HATE hate him. and we argued about it. so he took a poll of who hated taylor. ALL of the girls in the class raised their hands. none of the boys did. when he asked who didn’t hate taylor all of the men raised their hands. and me and my friend started laughing because of COURSE they did.
and my prof was like why are you laughing and the writer was like “i think they’re laughing at the gender difference in that answer” and my prof was like “well, from my male perspective, i don’t think i’m being sexist”
WHAT.
first of all did you hear that sentence at ALL do you understand how paradoxical it is?????
second of all, no. just no.
and then my prof went on to say “i feel like we need to see taylor be horrible. like bad solution, he kicks a dog”
evidently a man can abuse and rape a girl and not be hated, but if he kicks a dog then he’s PURE EVIL
and THAT is exactly what’s wrong with our society
