Follow this link to find a short analysis of whitewashed media, and why whitewashing matters
I wouldn’t say that just visibility is important. I would say visibility as the stars of a show is important. That says that our stories matter. We’re not here to do the taxes of the white person, or to be the chipper best friend to the white person. It’s important to see Asians in those leading roles because it changes what I’m calling the Anglo-heteronormative status of TV. [Imagine] that a poducers says, “Guy and girl meet-cute at an ice skating rink. They fall in love, but then she has to move away.” If you say that to anyone, including an Asian person, you picture a white person because that’s what’s become normative to us.“

Xerox rep: And here above the big paper tray in the feeder unit there’s this secret compartment.
Me: Oh, good — we can keep the kittens there!
Xerox rep: Uh…
Me: We’ve had problems. Management doesn’t want us to keep kittens here anymore. A hiding place would be useful.
Xerox rep: …okay.
Xerox rep: There’s another secret compartment down here, under the pass-through unit. Definitely do NOT store kittens in that one. The hair could get up into the machinery.
Me: …how about very small goats?
Xerox Rep: No. They KICK.
Xerox Rep: WHAT KIND OF OFFICE IS THIS, ANYWAY? -
Poke poke poke.
So today we’re going to try turning off all the web-sharey daemons, and then see if we can shove the files back where they belong. Maybe then the media server will spend less of its time going spare. And maybe even start working enough that I can configure the network the way I want it, so I can then plug it in to our network here.
Wish me luck*.

The dark side of “visibility”: How we slept on trans people becoming the new scapegoats of the right
The dark side of “visibility”: How we slept on trans people becoming the new scapegoats of the right
This is a surprisingly excellent article for a cis dude in Salon, and articulates a lot of things I’ve been feeling lately without being able to put into words.

I never see masses of whites trying to move into 3rd world nations and demand to be ‘natives’ or the government of that land hint at the same.

The Lady of Shallots, John William Waterhouse, 1888, oil on canvas (with slight modern additions).I just made an art history/produce pun, which means the potential audience is like, one person. and that person is me.
I’m pretty sure that piece was by John William Watercress.
of all the punny additions that people have made to this post, this is the one I am most ashamed that I didn’t think of myself
Proud to say that the audience includes at least one other person. Anticipating other works of the Pea-Raphaelites.

Landed gentry
We started the day feeling pretty positive. The sun was out and we made our way towards Centralia, our destination for the day, where we were checking out a “it might be a place you’d like to start a business” suggestion and to have a look at property.
By the end of the day we were both tired, and pretty demoralised. Which is funny because we may have seen some land that we like. We couldn’t walk it because we couldn’t reach a realtor to check, but our realtor has been tasked with gaining access.
…but it’s further away from anywhere than we originally hoped. And we’re not entirely sure about the feasibility of it.
…which seems to be how all the land is that we look at. Essentially we don’t *quite* have enough money.
