JFC, the world is set on making my head explode today. Between the wtfery coming out of the woodwork regarding WB's Bleach shenanigans and Amanda Palmer invoking the KKK in her latest bid for ~hipster whatever~ (sparkymonster's response is highly on point and also likely triggering) in addition to various Twitter gems regarding Lady Gaga... omg. Chang E, can you hook a girl up with some of those magic pills? I wanna come join you on the moon.

Also, bookshop has an excellent post on Bad Romance (or, YA & Rape Culture).

Also also, I forgot about Ada Lovelace Day yesterday, but today at work my coworkers unearthed the fact that the scientist who originally discovered Harvey Ras in the 1960s was, in fact, Jennifer Harvey, when previously they had been operating under the assumption that the discoverer was a man. So FUCK YEAH, women in science! \o/

a;lsdjas OH AMANDA PALMER NO. D: D: D: (God, I just -- I'm a big fan of so much of her stuff and some of what she does, but all this fail is making me seriously reconsider.)

THIS. you summed up everything i feel about her recent string of fail. D:

AND NEIL. i mean, i know her views =/= his views, but. he, of course, defended her on some of her recent fail and just. UGH. D: D:

asdf;lkj oh god, Neil. :( it's not like i'm even a giant fangirl of his, but given that i'd been looking forward to reading more of his stuff and that he seemed like a really cool guy, it's... kind of disappointing, you know?

GAH AMANDA PALMER. I used to admire her so much, but this recent stuff is just hideous.
