It’s Neutral Milk Hotel, mashed up with a sampling of the greats of hip-hop. It should not sound as good as it does.

ETA: Apache sighting in track 6! Wait, no, that’s The Bucketheads!

isthisfeminist:

This woman is giving you a thumbs up. IS THIS FEMINIST?

TRIGGER WARNING. The “thumbs up” is the most phallocentric gesture imaginable. You are literally telling someone that a good job is the equivalent of growing a penis. In this case, two penises.

Additionally, this kind of casual congratulation has been known to put the recipient in a good mood, which can lead to entire minutes of complacency about their own privilege. PROBLEMATIC.

Poe’s law: “Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody […] that someone won’t mistake for the real thing.”

What the…?

ETA: Jason Aaron is the writer. This is the most recent issue of The Incredible Hulk, where Banner and The Hulk had previously been spending some time as discrete individuals, but how have apparently been merged again. In this scene, the Hulk decides that he doesn’t want to turn back into Banner.

Or something. I’m not actually reading The Hulk book right now.

People have been wondering what Amazon’s business model for its Kindle business is, since they don’t make money on the units and try and give away the books. Now, we have an inkling: this report appears to be the equivalent of banner advertising on the devices. (They already sell ad-space on the cheapest e-ink models.)

Are we sure Jeff Bezos is a genius?

“Fanfiction.net’s official motto is “Unleash your imagination,” shortened from “Unleash your imagination and free your soul,” an adage which graced the page for several years in the mid-2000’s. For the most part, fanfiction authors are not after fame or even the vague hope of parlaying their work into for-profit publication; they are interested in letting their desires roam free, and perhaps in finding a few friends and readers in the process. Grown women with husbands and children who write about Hannibal Lecter “[placing] tender kisses on the tops of Clarice’s feet” (or, for that matter, about Edward Cullen doing the same thing) aren’t expressing discontent with their marriages but with the rules that govern mortal love.”

It had to happen eventually. In the vein of @picturelesspins, @textbasedtumblr, and the like.

“The coven started off innocently enough, with a few rituals on a summer solstice to send healing prayers out into the world. Friend, who went by the title the “Grand Magus,” called the group the Blazing Solar Flame, and hoped it could act as a “magical battery” to spin up energy for the spread of Anusara. To that end, they began “circling up” a few times a year, on the equinox and pagan holidays. Friend had a graphic designer make a logo of two overlapping stars, one with spiky arms and another with lazy arms. “I thought it was pretty ugly, but John was like a little boy who wanted to have a logo for his secret club,” says the “High Priestess” of the group today.”

ramipas:

かわすふぃあ（Kawa sphere）はケイオスフィアを可愛くしたものだよ。

ケイオスマジックはRAMIPASの元にもなった現代魔術の潮流のひとつ。

このマークはそのケイオスマジックのシンボルってわけ。

もともとは ミカエル・モールコックのエターナル・チャンピオンに登場するシンボルなんだけど・・・なんだか怖そうだからもうちょっと可愛くしてみたらどうなるかなって試してみたんだ。

毎日のケイオスマジック実践に、ほんの少しの萌え要素を添加したいときにおすすめ。

（黄色と水色のキラキラは、槍と同様に取り外して使えます。）

Kawa-sphere is a kawaii(cute) variant of Symbol of Chaos in Chaos magic; is a school of the modern magical tradition which RAMIPAS is based on. Originally appeared in fiction called “Eternal Champion” by Michael Moorcock…somehow it looks quite scary so we made it cuter (kawaii-zed). Sprinkle over it to your everyday Chaos magic practice and add a hint of Moe essence. You could take off these yellow and blue sparkles and  use them as spare in common with Symbol of Chaos.  

RAMIPASでのつかいかた:魔法少女を召喚したいとき。愛と希望のケイオスマジックをしたいとき。ぶりっこしたいとき。

Usage in RAMIPAS: Mahou-Shojo(magical girls) evocation. When practicing Chaos magic with love and hope.  When trying to look cute.
