Fisch Haus usually has excellent exhibits and musical acts. If you ever find yourself in Wichita for some bizarre reason, make sure to check on what they’ve got going.

Some of these items don’t belong under this heading, I think. Someone call Equate’s design team.

I just assume one of you knows how to get in contact with these people.

Transgender Rights in the Era of Same-Sex Marriage: Are We Forgetting the :

The United States moves inexorably toward granting equality to the L.G.B., but in the process, while still pronouncing that satisfying final consonant, we often, in practice, drop the T. No federal law offers protection to transgender people from discrimination in the workplace; the population sees double the usual rate of unemployment, and ninety per cent of transgender individuals report harassment, mistreatment, or discrimination at work.

“Most Whites find it easy to ignore residential segregation. I experienced a good example of this inattention when I told a lunch-table’s worth of White colleagues at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences about the linguist John Baugh’s project on “linguistic profiling” (Baugh 2003). Baugh has developed a matched-guise test in which a single speaker uses a “White professional,” a “Latino,” or a “Black” voice in making telephone inquiries about the availability of advertised rentals in the San Francisco Bay area. The “White professional” voice is much more likely to yield an invitation to make an appointment to look at the property, while the other accents are more likely to result in a response that the rental is no longer available. My colleagues, all sophisticated scholars, were genuinely surprised at this result; several mentioned that they had thought that this sort of discrimination had long since disappeared.”

- Jane H. Hill, The Everyday Language of White Racism (via wretchedoftheearth)

This is like when me and my white soon-to-be husband were looking for places. I’d call up and they’d say, “Come on down! Get an application!”. Because I don’t “sound” black.

Then I’d walk in 2 minutes later and they’d be all, “Oh. Sorry, we just rented it.”

Then I’d send him in and he’d get an application.

The best part? Walking back in while he was completing the application. “Oh, they gave you an application? But they told me it was just rented. ODD. THAT. I’m going to report them so let’s just skip this place, m’kay?” The looks on their faces and the pathetic apologies were just too much fun.

Used to deal with the same thing with road trips. Hotels would tell me that there were no vacancies, but my white roommate would go in and get us a room, usually cheaper than advertised.

I do similar stuff at restauants and other places of business with my white bf. At least it makes it easier to know where not to go!

Reblogging again for the commentary

(via darkjez)

But we’re just supposed to *trust* and think everything is an *isolated* incident.

(via hamburgerjack)

Not so sophisticated scholars, were they? I mean this really, really shouldn’t be all that surprising.

(via stfunithingas)

It shouldn’t be surprising, but I guarantee that most white people find it unbelievable

(via wretchedoftheearth)

I’m going to reblog this every time I see it on my dash. My parents pointed out how this phenomenon worked when we were moving to PA (they’d get steered to crummier neighborhoods and have to insist on being shown others). Housing discrimination is still pretty widespread and the gatekeepers? Tend to either intentionally or due to unchecked bias reinforce the status quo.

(via invisiblelad)

It always floors me the things people are surprised at. Meanwhile, every person of color is sitting here like, “Oh. Must be another day that ends in Y, and in other news, water is wet.” Like, really, people are surprised by this, and whenever they show surprise at learning stuff that we go through, I have to poker face, lest I end up giving them the most disbelieving side eye in history because how do you NOT know this? But then, you know. Some people have the privilege of being able to be unaware it because it’s not a problem they have to deal with. :/ (via lori-jaye)

Fox Reveals Trailers for its 2013 - 2014 Slate - ComingSoon.net:

Live reaction to each:

Us & Them: IT’S A ROMCOM BUT THE CHARACTERS LAMPSHADE IT GET IT AUDIENCE GET IT HAHA

Dads: Racism, sexism, and laugh tracks; terrifying.

Sleepy Hollow: Are you… Are you kidding? A buddy cop series where one of the cops is a time-displaced Ichabod Crane, the other is a normal cop trying to explain the modern world and reconcile it with weird magic bullshit, and the Headless Horseman is also a Horseman of the Apocalypse, with a glowing axe? And secret missions from George Washington, and witch covens, and… I cannot possibly miss this show.

Rake: What a clusterfuck.

Almost Human: I… hmmm. Started out rough but now I’m kind of interested.

Enlisted: Look how fun and wacky America’s war machine can be! All it’s missing is a laugh track. Pass.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: There’s some sharp writing and some great visual gags here but I feel like Samberg has burned me before. We’ll see.

Why are laugh tracks even still a thing?

A little something for all those Pepper haters out there.

I’m calling it: What Movie Were YOU Watching???

This has single-handledly convinced me I need to see this movie.

yup this is basically the movie in a nutshell

I was v. pleased

This is the movie I was watching. Pepper haters can step off.

I think the Pepper haters are mostly asshole apologists. They hate the idea that someone would have the temerity to set boundaries with a self-destructive narcissist like Tony.

well now i will go see this movie this week.

I just saw it tonight. I was very pleased.
