Writer tips #3

You want to do a historical novel? You want there to be representation in the book?

I want to tell you that queers and poc are always in history and there are a lot of weird shit that everyone did.

Jepp Who Defied the Stars is about Jepp who is a drawf and after a whole lot of shit I won’t tell you about because you gotta read it. He goes and works for Tyche Brahe a danish astronmer who had a pet elk and HAD A BRASS NOSE.

Did you know that there was a gay man who essientally saved US in the revolution. He’s the Prussian General Fredrich Von Stuben.

You want to go Victorian era? Black people were in the higher classes.

Want to go shakesperain in the times? LOOK UP LUCY NEGRO TRUST ME.

long story short. You can do it and be historically accurate, and if worse comes to worse write about the Romans, they ruled everything so you can have everyooone.

So I've been listening to your podcast for a while and I love, love, love it. I wanted to suggest doing a show on the Baron von Stuben. Von Stuben was a gay man and a general on the American side during the American Revolution. Without him America would have lost the war, but America's government never honored him because of reasons related to his sexuality. I'd really like to see you do a podcast on him at some point

Thank you for your message! I haven’t heard o Baron von Stuben before, but I’m excited for us to look into him. It may take a while, but look out for an episode in the future!

White pride

Black pride? But why can’t we have white pride?

Generally in these conversations we are talking about heritage.

According to my knowledge of ferris buellers day off Chicago holds the polish pride parade, celebrating the polish constitution of 1791.

Stubien parades celebrate german pride on von stuben day.

St Patrick’s day celebrates Irish pride.

You get the idea.

These are all “"white”“ pride but that’s not the part that they are celebrating. They are celebrating their culture, their heritage.

So there was this terrible thing in the past called slavery. It happened everywhere and is still kind of a problem. There were wars foght over it.

People were forced on boats as chattel. Shipped across an ocean or two. Sold to the highest bidder. Coerced to lose their language, customs, and beliefs. This effectively cut off ties to that part of their heritage. This is as far back as their heritage can go.

Celebrating Mississippi pride isn’t on the table since they didn’t ratify the 13th amendment until February 7, 2013. For realsies. Also most of them were not located in mississippi.

They could go with slave pride. They have all of that in common. It’s only just slightly dehumanizing.

What else did all of these slaves have in common? Man this is a toughie. Oh wait! It’s the general pigment of their skin.

"But… but… That’s racist!” Cried the man.

They didn’t choose for that to be their commonality. The slavers did.

It’s racist because the slave trade made it that way. Because they were racist. Seeing a person with more melanin as less than human made it racist.

That and how wood looks inside and outside as fair faced surface in a wooden construction is shown by Mind with this house. So the natural exposure through the large-scale windows ca generate atmospherical snuggery-rooms.

Das und wie Holz Aussen und Innen beim Holzbau als Sichtoberfläche wirkt, zeigen Mind bei diesem Wohnhaus. So kann natürlichen Belichtung durch die großflächigen Fenstern atmosphärische Stuben-Räume enstehen lassen.
