In last month's newsletter, Belinda Molina wrote about the Axel Meerscheidt house that once stood next door to her house on E. Guenther. Sadly, the Meerscheidt house burned in the 1950's. Belinda has communicated with Neale Rabensburg, a descendent of the Meerscheidt family, who has generously shared excerpts from the memoir of Erna Meerscheidt. Erna, daughter of Axel and Olga Meerscheidt, grew up in the house.
By Erna Meerscheidt Weeks Bouillon
"........but after my grandfather's death [Dr. O. Remer of New Braunfels], grandmother [Franciska Schleier] moved to San Antonio where several of her children had settled. My father [Axel Meerscheidt] had a darling little house built for my grandmother across the street from this large home in the Meerscheidt Addition [515 E. Guenther, later changed to 101 Crofton]. Our home was really a mansion, built in red brick with white rock, around curved windows, and the curved entrance door. It had a marble foyer and beautiful, stained glass windows. The mansion has now been turned into a chapel by the Catholics. It was of French architecture, located in an exclusive residential district named after my father, the Meerscheidt Addition.
"You see, my father had studied architecture at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He had been sent from Texas, where the schools were very poor at the time, to live with his Aunt Emma Koerber and his Uncle Karl, an attorney. Their home was in the Black Forest in Germany, Bad Harzburg. He was around thirteen or fourteen years old when he went over [to Germany from Texas] and remained about ten years. He did not practice as an architect in San Antonio but used his knowledge of it by opening up exclusive residential districts and having a beautiful house or two built in each to encourage others to buy property and settle in these districts. He did very well, and traveled to Europe with his whole family every few years.
"In the evenings in the summer when it was so very hot, we children were allowed to stay up late. It would have been impossible to sleep anyway. With mother and father, we would sit on the upstairs long gallery and sing. The southern skies on a warm night were very dark with many stars twinkling like lightning bugs. Father often went down to the little corner beer parlor two blocks away and brought back a little pail of beer. Mother and father would each have a large glass of beer so it was real cozy. I don't remember that we children had anything to drink, although we might have been given lemonade.
"The property of the estate ran down to the river about one hundred feet back. Large pecan trees grew in the back. There was a steep drop to the river. We had a heavy rope with a huge knot at the end on which we took turns sitting. The other children would run way back, give a push and out we would swing over the river's bank. This was fun, and we could hardly wait for our turn.
"We had a great deal of help—in the house and yard—and German cooks my father imported from Germany when on a trip there. Dressmakers also came into our home in those days since clothes were made at home and not in factories as now.
"I wore white dresses until I was four or five years old. The ironing woman would hang rows and rows of beautifully ironed frocks and petticoats and panties on lines in the 'ironing kitchen' as it was called. It was a beautiful sight to behold. It was a kitchen because there was a stove to heat the irons—no electric irons in those days.
"We went to Germany when I was five years old, then the next summer we traveled through many parts of Europe bringing to me additional unforgettable memories. I shall never forget sitting with my sister Emita and a tutor, a young, energetic teacher, on three wrought iron chairs with a wrought iron table very near the Radau River's edge, studying arithmetic, Bible study, German reading and the writing of German script.
"When we returned to my Aunt Emma's home after the following summer's travel to say good-bye to her, the tutor asked my father to take him back to San Antonio. He offered to pay all of his own expenses and father took him.
"Not long after we returned to San Antonio, my father heard at the German social club he belonged to that the Menger Hotel on the San Antonio River needed a greeter to meet all travelers. The tutor applied, got the position, and did so well that he soon became the manager of the social activities of the hotel. He made many new plans such as serving meals outside along the river bank at noon and in the evenings. At night the Japanese lanterns, which he instigated, lit the river bank. This became a tradition continuing to this day all along the San Antonio River as it winds through the city."

Ahhh yes, it's so nice to make the last stitch in a project. Especially for a slow stitcher like myself. But yesterday I finally finished embroidering the Mayan Turtle for my new cushion!
The embroidery is made with woolen thread, and though there is a color guide in the original chart, I never used it, but just chose the colors that seemed most appropriate. More photos: Continue reading "Finally did it! The Mayan Turtle embroidery :)"

Brother Power
Real Name: Seth Amun Ra
Identity/Class: God
Occupation: Archeologist, Sorcerer, adventurer
Affiliations: Egyptian Gods
Enemies: Master Midnight
Known Relatives: Isis (mother); Osiris (father), Horus (brother), Set (uncle), Nut (grandmother), Ra (grandfather)
Aliases: None known
Base of Operations: Mobile worldwide
First Appearance: Unknown
Powers/Abilities: Brother Power possesses great physical strength enabling him to lift (press) 50 tons without the use of his sorcery. Brother Power possesses the conventional attributes of his race as well as many special abilities developed through millennia of rigorous discipline. Brother Power can levitate himself by mentally manipulating gravitons around his body. Brother Power can fly via self-levitation at approximately 400 miles per hour. Brother Power can also teleport himself through the use of the Belt of Power, given to him by his grandmother Nut. However, Brother Power finds teleportation most unpleasant, so he only employs it in extreme situations. The extent of Brother Powers abilities in the field of sorcery has yet to be determined.
History: In the time when the Earth was still in its infancy, and humans worshipped many different deities, the Gods of myth and legend became bored and decided to have a contest to establish among themselves who was the supreme deity. Gathering together in the Celestial Citadel, each of the Gods decided to journey to Earth and mate with the humans. The children that resulted in this joining would be bestowed immortality and powers that would make them perfect pawns in "The Game". Osiris and Isis, however, found the game unappealing.
Together they sired a male child and named him Seth. Ra, the all powerful sun god set Seth before all others in his court, which infuriated Set, the serpentine brother of Osiris. Ra offered to make Seth pharoah over the humans, but declined the offer. Seth then nominated his younger brother Horus to become pharoah in his stead. This action pleased his grandfather and other members of the Egyptian high court. Ra, seeing a great worth in Seth sent his grandson to Earth to watch over and guide the half-human children the Gods had sired. Seth, once on Earth, formed a brotherhood of light in honor of his grandfather. Seth decided that the "game" to declare superiority over the gods was beneath him or his grandfather, so he erected a temple and welcomed all of the children of Ra to seek enlightenment rather than shed blood. Ra was most displeased with Seth's actions but accepted them finally.
Many thousands of years passed and a wandering stranger happened upon the temple, seeking asylum. The stranger had identified himself as Yang Chi, a nomad from Asia. Seth befriended the stranger, believing that he came seeking enlightenment. For many months, Yang Chi and Seth would spend hours talking and sharing philosophical views. After a time, Seth felt that it was time that Yang Chi learn the ways of his people and charged him with the task of maintaining the sacred Well of Ra. The Well of Ra was where the half human children of Ra had to drink from every 100 years in order to sustain their immortality. Seth, being a 'true god' had no need to drink from the well in order to sustain his own immortality. Yang Chi questioned what would happen if the children of Ra did not drink at their appointed time. Seth explained that their bodies would wither and be reduced to dust and their life energies and knowledge would be passed on to the nearest living thing. One day, Yang Chi approached Seth with dire news that the people of his province were under siege by a powerful warlord known as Kubla Khan. Yang Chi implored Seth to go out and help his people. Seth agreed to the request and set out for the region known as Outer Mongolia.
In his absence, Yang Chi drank deeply from the well and his body underwent a painful transformation. He was restored his youth and became immortal. He then gathered up the scrolls of the ancients and the sacred Tanis Root, the source of the well's restorative power. He then proceeded to destroy the well, moments before the children of Ra were to drink from it. With the well destroyed, the children died violently and their life energies were passed on to Yang Chi, making him nearly as powerful as Seth. He destroyed the temple and left to resume his dream of conquering the world.
After defeating Kubla Khan and his forces, Seth returned to find his temple in ruins. Horus appeared before his older brother and explained what had happened. Furious and filled with revenge, Seth set out to hunt down and destroy Yang Chi for what he had done. Horus, Isis and Osiris also informed Seth that Set and Anubis, because of their petty jealousy had secretly conspired with Yang Chi in order to destroy the temple. They bestowed upon Seth, the Sword of Ra, a weapon so powerful, that it was feared by even the gods themselves. Nut, the mother of all the Egyptian gods also appeared before Seth and bequeathed upon him the Belt of Power. This belt not only amplified his strength and wisdom, but it also gave him knowledge of Egyptian sorcery to use in his battles with the forces of evil. From that day forward, Seth assumed the name of Brother Power and became a protector of the innocent, a destroyer of the wicked and a hunter of the man who would come to be known as Master Midnight.

Substitute Teacher
- Substitute teaching at the local Antelope Valley high schools in various subjects
All of my experience in the field of education has allowed me the opportunity to help educate others and better myself. Learning is a lifelong goal that I strive to apply to every area of my life, so I plan to continually pursue it on a personal level and also contribute to this process in the lives of those around me. In the future I intend to further my studies in literature and culture at a university. Along the way I will continue to commit myself to the education and development of others.
I am interested in all of the arts, especially literature. Russian authors are some of my favorites. I love music and enjoy playing the violin and mandolin on occasion. Photography is another hobby of mine. I also find great satisfaction in reusing anything that I might otherwise throw away either decoratively or for an art project.
Learning about different cultures is also important to me and I especially love trying their foods. Volunteering in culturally diverse settings has been a very fulfilling experience. Along these lines, helping the homeless and those less fortunate is another cause that I believe is extremely important.

Headache Attributable to Nonvascular Intracranial Disorders
Authors: Mark Obermann, Dagny Holle, Steffen Naegel and Hans-Christoph Diener.
Headache attributable to nonvascular intracranial disorder is a basket of multiple, partly complex, and very diverse idiopathic or secondary disorders. By definition, the headache has to occur in a close temporal relationship to the intracranial disorder. Some of these headache disorders are caused by high or low cerebrospinal fluid pressure; noninfectious inflammatory diseases such as neurosarcoidosis, aseptic (noninfectious) meningitis, and lymphocytic hypophysitis; or intracranial neoplasm. Other nonvascular headaches, including hemicrania epileptica and postseizure headache, Chiari malformation type I, and the syndrome of transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis, are attributed to hypothalamic or pituitary hyper- or hyposecretion, intrathecal injection, or epileptic seizures. The clinical presentation of all these disorders can be diverse and often mimics the characteristics of primary headaches, which may delay the diagnosis.

text: The I Am What I Believe Foundation challenged our students as well as educators and staff to look within. We really enjoyed the creative components of the workshop that kept the students engaged throughout the session. What we are excited about most is they provided a space for students to voice what they believe in and communicate how they see themselves.

One of the main reasons institutions consider outsourcing their college bookstore to a corporate lease operator is the expectation that outsourcing will lead to increased revenue for the institution.
Citing economies of scale and group purchasing power, corporate lease operators often claim that their contribution to the bottom line will be greater than that of an independent store.
This is often not the reality. Use our Independent vs. Lease Store Contribution Calculator to get an estimate of how your store's net income would compare to the commissions offered in a typical lease contract.

With my new home state of California burning right now, I've been recalling this Judgment card in the fabulous Mary El Tarot. (Do visit the site and check out the other cards in this amazing deck.) I will go into XX in general in greater detail in the future. Right now I just wanted to put this phoenix-like card up, with its implied eventual rebirth/regrowth. I'll only add that to a certain degree these fires do seem to be a "judgment" of how we humans have managed our forests, suppressing undergrowth burns for decades until the forests are tinder boxes. I do not claim to be an expert, nor am I saying that this is all that causes these fires, but I do think it is a large contributing factor.
I live three and a half miles from The Gap Fire, in Goleta. It is now about 80% contained. See my dreams and poetry blog post for writing and comments thereon about this fire and my experiences of its literal fall out. My heart and gratitude goes out to the fire fighters and all those helping them. Even as I think of all the displaced wildlife (e.g., we have more birds in our gardens than usual), and humans, too, of course. :-) And this is only the start of a long dry summer.
'til next time, keep enjoying The Tarot,
[aka: Patricia Kelly]

Versatile Blogger
What have you doe to me Callie! lol from Mu Mu and Squeeks Place...
Callie gave me a versatile blogger award and I need to state 7 things about myself that not many people know so here goes...I do aplogise that I have not put a pic or tag as I have no clue how to do it.
1) My biggest disappointment in life is that we had only 2 children,I would have loved to have had more but it was not meant to be,my health and Bobs determination made the doctors wishes of no more children a reality,I still get clucky everytime I see a baby.
2)As a youngster I always wrote poetry and short stories,in my 2nd year at high school my book was taken from me for not listening in class,it took me 20 years to write another poem,I have quite a collection now but never show them.
3)I suffer from homesickness for England.I have been twice and fell in love with everything that I , experienced ,I find a desperation in my soul at times to go again,I am hoping in about 3 years time,it is like a flame that cannot be extinguished.
4) When I went away the England and left my family for many weeks each time, I gave them all a letter "things about me"that they never knew and each person cherished it,Bob still has his next to his bed,a reminder that we never really know one another,he did not know of my love of Ladybugs,snowdrops,lavender and the smell of new born babies...he does now lol
5)I have always lived in older homes, the home on my main page is the first home I went to as a bride,I simply cannot imagine living in a new home,I love old china and furniture as well so guess it is a theme of my life.
6) Being on Bobs life journey has been very hard, his breakdown lasted almost 10 years,it changed our whole family,I had to become stronger ,the money earner,the parent not just to the children but to him,I do not think I could do it again...but then...I guess I would because that's what you do,it is probably the hardest thing I have ever done and 20 years on it is still a day to day thing at times,we are still together yet it is different,happiness is a feeling that does not come as often as it once did and a more serious feeling comes upon us,I pray each day for the strength to see this journey out,I do not want to be resentful but it creeps in at time,I hope this means I am human.
7) I love people, I miss my family with all my heart, so I fill my time trying to care for others,to share the word that we must look after our seniors and to show by example we have mum living with us full time,at 90 years of age she is amazing,why more people do not care for their parents astounds me..is it easy?...no...do you have time for you?...no...Do you and your partner have time together?...no..would you have it any other way?...no...I look at it this way, Mum fed me,dressed me,cared for me,wiped my tears when I fell,held me up when I was weak,gave me hugs when I was scared...now the role is reversed and it is me that does these things for her.She has been both mother and father to me since I was 10,how will I feel when she goes to a higher place.. I don't know but I do know there will be a huge void in our lives.
So there are a few from the heart facts about me,with the Grace of God I shall travel my lifes journey surrounded with love of my husband and my children and their spouses and their children and with God watching over me and my Faith I believe life will be good.

Just lovely! thankyou for sharing Carole xReplyDelete
What a very nice person you are Carole.ReplyDelete
I agree about England. We still have homes there (always old ones too), but my life now is here in France.
True, it isn't easy looking after ailing parents. I returned to England for nearly 5 years to look after my parents before they died. At times I just felt like quitting; running away and never going back. But as you say, they did their best for us, so we do our best for them!
what a lovely, honest and straight from the heart post, i knew you were an amazing woman Carole after getting to know you a little better for our button swap but hadn't quite realised how amazing. You remind me of someone I know here in England, both of you strong women with a faith that most can only dream of. Have a wonderful day TracyReplyDelete
Wonderful post Carole. But I did know some of those things about you!! Lol! I guess we are just too much alike.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting me the other day and the lovely gifts you gave us. God bless you. xx

Lovely post Carole, I was only speaking to a lady today about caring for our elderly parents and the feeling of loss when, as you say they go to a higher place, my mum is 87 this year and apart from crippling arthritis she is wonderful, but I know only too well that we have limited time with her on this earth :o(ReplyDelete
Stay strong lovely lady you are a wonder.
Hugs and more Hugs

i felt very humble reading your post Carole and it touched my heart greatly,may your journey get better and happier as each day goes by.oxoxReplyDelete

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Is Finally Here!
It really is nothing out of the norm to see new technology. But, there very few times when a new device emerges that we are actually excited about. Albeit, the name of the product definitely helps, there are usually more than enough releases to hold us over till "The Big One" comes out at whatever time it scheduled. Recently we saw the Mobile World Congress event unfold, and while there were quite a few releases that we were all excited for, there was one that had everyone's attention. The release of the new Samsung Galaxy S5 has had rumors circulating about it for a while now, but it was finally released at the Unpacked 5 Event at the Mobile World Congress.
Samsung also released two new successors to the Galaxy Gear; The Gear 2 and the Gear 2 Neo. They also have now gotten into the fitness band area with the new Gear Fit. Needless to say, Samsung was not holding back at this years event.
The Galaxy S5 had a multitude of different rumors being spread about it. Some of these held up, while others were merely wishful thinking. For example, the highly anticipated 4K screen is actually a Full HD Super AMOLED 5.1 inch screen. Still not bad, but not 4K like everyone was expecting. However, this may be better as studies have shown that you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference in clarity when it comes to smaller screens, especially at closer distances. Don't think that just cause the 4K screen wasn't delivered though, that this new smartphone isn't working with some heavy ammunition. The bad boy is coming stock with QualComm Snapdragon, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, and a quad-core 2.5GHz processor. The phone also comes in a 16 or 32 gig storage model, along with a 2,800mAh battery. Obviously the S5 is stacked in terms of hardware, but there are a few other features as well.

The biggest features that have been talked about are the water and dust resistance. That's right! The new S5 can be submerged in water up to 3 feet and still be in perfect working condition. The dust and water resistance are good up to the IP67 specifications. Next lets talk about the fingerprint scanner. Much like the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint scanner is built into the home button. The phone can be unlocked by swiping your finger over the scanner, but Samsung added another nifty feature. The same fingerprint scanning security can be utilized for specific documents that you may want to stay protected on your phone.
It is a pretty safe bet to say that Samsung's new Galaxy S5 was the one thing that everyone was excited for this year.There is not a release date for retail stores, or a price set, but we can expect to see this in the near future. Overall this phone looks to be quite the little powerhouse in terms of what it can. The hardware looks incredible, the waterproof feature is perfect for clumsy people like myself, and here is to hoping the fingerprint scanner holds up better than the iPhone 5S's did.

Chicken Enchiladas
The day after Thanksgiving, use your leftover turkey to make these insanely delicious enchiladas. But before and after the big bird holiday; use shredded chicken instead. The pumpkin mole dances gloriously with the queso fresco and pomegranate seeds. This recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen too!
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced half moons
- 1 bunch of Kale, stems removed and chopped
- Salt
- 2 cups Shredded Chicken
- 12 Corn Tortillas
- 12 ounce jar SALSAOLOGY Pumpkin Mole Sauce
- ½ cup Pomegranate Seeds
- ¼ cup Queso Fresco, crumbled
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and kale and sauté for 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add chicken stock and continue to cook until kale cooks through, approximately 4 minutes. Add shredded chicken to vegetables and mix together, continue to cook until chicken is warmed through, another 3 minutes. Transfer filling to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of remaining oil in a pan over medium high heat. Using tongs, submerge a tortilla in oil, turning once, frying for 5 seconds on each side. Tortilla will slightly puff up and become pliable. Transfer tortilla to a plate lined with paper towels to cool. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
- In a small sauce pot, heat SALSAOLOGY Pumpkin Mole Sauce. Pour about 1 cup of the sauce into a skillet or pie dish. Dip each tortilla into Pumpkin Mole Sauce, turning to coat both sides. Place 2 tablespoons of the chicken and kale filling each in the center of the tortilla. Roll up tortilla with the seam side down and transfer to a platter. Repeat until all enchiladas are completed.
- Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top off with queso fresco and pomegranate seeds over top of enchiladas platter. Serve immediately.

Just got back to Chennai after a week in Seattle(I will write more about this trip on my personal Blog). I now have a new IRiver Clix 2GB and thought I will play around a little bit with it.
As my Vista Install already has WMP 11, which is the recommeded install for the Clix, I went ahead and connected via USB. Suprisingly, my Vista was unable to recognize the device and asked for a driver and I was unable to find one anywhere. According to all documentation, this is supposed to work without any drivers..:(
Has anyone got the Clix working ok on Vista RTM?

Last week the Twitter #1reasonwhy hashtag gave everyone a wake up call. Sexism in the games industry is a real thing. It's a reality and we have to deal with that reality. For a long time it's been a issue that I, personally, have steered clear of. Afraid of saying the wrong thing, unequipped for the discussion, I've always been happy to let others do the talking for me — but maybe that's a problem in and of itself. I decided to speak to Leena Van Deventer, freelance writer and games designer about the issues, and how we can all find a better way to communicate with each other.
MARK: Hey Leena, I wanted to write this article with you for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the #1reasonwhy hashtag on twitter – that happened. And it was important. For me, personally, it was an eye opener, and a real insight into what women in games media and the wider games industry have to face and deal with on a day-to-day basis. It made for depressing reading.
The second reason was the reaction to the #1reasonwhy hashtag. In some areas of the internet the defensive reaction to this wholly worthwhile discussion was shameful. I found that frustrating, I've always found that frustrating. I find it frustrating in the same way I find most stubborn, closed-up, turtle-shell reactions – if someone else says there is a problem with how they're being treated, there's a problem. You don't get to tell other people there isn't a problem. Not under these circumstances.
The third reason is a little more personal. In short: I don't think I've taken enough responsibility for this. I've always been of the opinion that I am not equipped to discuss the issue of sexism in the gaming community. I've always felt as though it's something I should avoid. Mainly because I'm a meat-head dude with no real understanding of the issues. In a sense I don't really have the vocabulary to write about these issues and I've always felt as though it was an issue best handled by those women (and men) who do. I've always just said: I'll take responsibility for myself and my own behaviour.
But maybe that's not enough.
LEENA: The #1ReasonWhy hashtag was depressing reading, but I'm glad it was there. It's been bubbling away for a while and I'm glad it got the traction it did. I'm also super pleased to see #1ReasonMentors and #1ReasonToBe come out of it, too.
As with anything touching on sexism in our culture, I knew there was going to be an ugly side. The first wave was amazing to be a part of. Women standing together in solidarity against sexism was invigorating and fortifying. I knew people had my back, I felt like it was a safe space to have this discussion. It was nice to bask in that for a bit before the second wave hit. The second wave was the trolls. There's a few varieties of troll on that hashtag, most of them a lost cause really, but I was made very aware of a certain amount of men who were dissenting not because they were trolls per-say but more because they just didn't want this discussion to happen again. They were just over it. I guess it's easier to roll your eyes than hold out your arms and hug someone. Or even just listen.
Maybe it hurts too much to listen? I reckon there's a large group of men who dismiss these sexism discussions (and actively hate the fact they exist) simply because they're paralysed by not knowing what to do. Then that's uncomfortable and reminds them of their inability to help, so just becomes more and more frustrating the more it's brought up. I totally get that! It must be infuriating. Especially when you've done nothing wrong and get lumped in a category of absolute Jerky McJerkersons. (I'm tired of it too, believe me. So. Very. Tired.)
For what it's worth I think you do a terrific job of being an ally, even if you do feel powerless sometimes. You never swoop in and presume to tell women how to feminism, which believe it or not is insanely prevalent. The fact you feel like it's a discussion you should avoid (yet still consider it a discussion that needs to happen) means you realise how great the need for sensitivity around this issue is. Finding the confidence to lower your feet when you know you should be treading carefully must be super intimidating and scary.
A guy walking into feminist spaces to learn more requires a certain bravery. They have to acknowledge that they can live their life not giving a fuck about this, but instead they're taking the time to step outside the lens they see the world in and see things from someone else's perspective. That takes work! I struggle with it too.
Not everyone has to sign up for gender studies classes and study the history of feminism to help fix sexism in our culture. But a nice mixture of abiding by Wheaton's Law, acknowledging people's different lenses through which they see the world, and allowing these discussions to take place is a massive step in an awesome direction.
MARK: At Kotaku Australia we have a great community, we have a great group of men and women who can usually disagree and debate without getting too nasty. The sexism debate is one of the few exceptions. I've heard a few of our regular female readers mention they are scared to enter the comment sections of posts that focus on the kind of issues #1ReasonWhy raises. That makes me really sad, and it makes me wonder if Kotaku Australia really is the safe space I want it to be.
We don't have any real massive idiots here — we don't have the kind of people who make the type of comments you might see on other game sites. But what we do have in abundance are people who will roll their eyes with a 'not this shit again' comment, or a 'Kotaku is a games site, this isn't about games' post.
But I really want all of that behaviour nipped in the bud. I want that attitude gone. I want our readers, male and female to realise that — first and foremost — Kotaku is a site about game culture, and this is a real issue in our culture. It should be addressed, it should be talked about, and we have to learn to talk about it in a civil manner.
I really want to learn how to have that conversation; and I want our male audience to learn alongside me. I think we're all part of the same problem and the only way we can move forward is to listen and empathise. If you have questions, ask them. If you're unsure of something, ask for it to be clarified.
But if you have nothing to say outside of dismissive, insulting conjecture, just stay silent. Go elsewhere. Because this issue is real, it's not going away and it's time for people to sincerely listen instead of burying their head in the sand.
LEENA: Well said! I understand how a lot of people roll their eyes and say "not this shit again", I can relate because I'm over it too. We're better than this shit. It totally bums me out. I just want to make games and do cool things and not have to constantly worry about that "other element" floating around ready to pounce. I don't want to take away anyone's toys. I just want to play with mine too.
One thing I've become aware of while thinking about this is how it's part of MY privilege to look at something and easily be able to say "oh okay, that's not for me" and move on. Maybe it's been ingrained into me as a woman who likes games that there are some things that are just not set up for me and that's okay. If someone relates to games as being a 100% perfect fit for them, a hobby that caters to them precisely, it's going to be really affronting and odd for them to have to consider something might not be for them within that realm. It's always been for them. What gives? So the ability to read a discussion on a topic you aren't interested in (on a site that has in the past catered to you personally very well) without chiming in with such helpful and constructive comments as "I DON'T THINK THIS IS A THING" and "We don't need to be talking about this shit" doesn't even enter their heads as an option. It's okay to not want to contribute to discussions others find important. It's NOT okay to think the discussion therefore shouldn't happen.
Listening is really important. It's why I try and put myself in the shoes of the people who have a problem with this discussion taking place. If I don't try and understand where they're coming from I have no hope of understanding the myriad of issues related to making this culture a more inclusive space for everyone. I can't fix anything if I just think people do jerky things because they're jerks. I think a lot of people dismiss the issue because they don't know what to do with it.
First step is to never dismiss it.
MARK: It's almost as if the whole debate is just mired in all these defence mechanisms — instant reactions that just circulate and spiral until everyone is slinging mud at other. I've watched guys make sexist stupid comments in this discussion and get rightly shut-down for it, but I've also seen some guys ask genuine questions and get absolutely torn to shreds for not asking that question using the correct language. This has, personally, been the reason why I tend to tread extremely carefully around these issues and I don't think I'm alone.
People just get defensive first and ask questions of themselves later. Which isn't a very healthy way to debate or discuss anything.
Bottom line — no-one likes to think of themselves as being sexist. A real groundbreaking moment for me was saying to myself, 'actually, I've said, done (and maybe even written) some pretty sexist things in my life. I'm not proud of it; I should really try and not do and say those things'. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we all contribute to this and some self-awareness really wouldn't go amiss.
LEENA: Exactly. Defence mechanisms and straw man arguments and deflection is a way to silence people, to stop the conversation. That's bad for everyone involved.
To flip it around, just like you're sick of the people giving your gender or your community a bad name by acting like total jerks, I feel that way too about feminism sometimes. People can use the word 'feminist' to push an agenda that I don't find particularly feminist. There's people that "just don't get it" on both sides, making people trying hard to do the right thing on both sides very frustrated and annoyed.
But the key to dealing with this is communication. Shutting down discussion is NEVER going to help the "just don't get its" on any spectrum. You can't put your fingers in your ears screaming "LALALALALALALA" and expect to learn something. I try really hard not to just slam down people that are disagreeing with me; I give them the benefit of the doubt that they're genuinely curious. If they're going to be dicks about it or are clearly trying to hurt me then obviously that's a different story and I just don't engage. But I'm trying really hard to be open to people wanting to know more. I want to understand people's underlying reasons for not wanting the discussion to take place. I want us to have a dialogue about our common ground and how to coexist together.
Not to sound like a victim (because boy does THAT piss people off…) but if I (someone who has been threatened, told to sit down shut up and take it, told I'm not wanted, told I'd advance my career by taking my clothes off, told to get out of the culture I love, the culture I work in) can stand back and consider listening to people and perhaps opening my arms to them instead of rolling my eyes or calling them rapey misogynists and ceasing the discussion, then perhaps someone who just "doesn't feel like listening to this shit" can extend themselves slightly and do women a solid in letting them speak freely.
TL:DR: We can create an inclusive culture without the fabric of our artform tearing to pieces and everything we've ever loved turning to dust, don't you think? Let's talk about it.

Shortly before midday on 19 June 2009 the plaintiff tripped over the corner of a raised timber platform in the lobby area of the Manly Pacific Hotel. As a result he suffered injuries to his neck, right shoulder and back. That relatively dark timber platform was a permanent structure in the hotel lobby and was positioned to the right side of the walkway to the main bar area, the entrance to which was on the left hand side of the foyer area. It was rectangular in shape – 1770 mm wide, 2625 mm long and 151 mm in height.
In a unanimous, per curiam ruling, a three-judge panel largely upheld the block on President Trump's revised Travel Ban keeping people from six majority-Muslim nations from entering the United States for 90 days. The judges pointed out that although the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") gives the President broad powers to control the entry of aliens, and to take actions to protect the American public, immigration, even for the President, is not a one-person show. The President's authority is subject to certain statutory and constitutional restraints .
