The company I work with (as in, they’re a supplier) and who I’ve had a lot of cause to call recently what with system failures etc use A Punk by Vampire Weekend as hold music and it just makes me so profoundly unhappy.
THOUGHTS ON A PUNK BY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A FAN OF VAMPIRE WEEKEND AND HAS HEARD IT FIVE TIMES THIS MORNING ALREADY:
Fuck off
This is awful
How does anyone tolerate...

Nine Worlds Fanfic Programme is up! →
nineworldsfanfic:
Nine Worlds Geekfest in London (9-11 August 2013) will be hosting our comprehensive, full-weekend, all-singing all-dancing fanfiction track.
This is definitely not your standard Fanfic 101 (though we’ll have that too, of course, with a twist) - we’ll have a fanfic workshop just for kids, discussions of crossovers and AUs, a reading group, conversations about female...

Fvvvvck yoooou, XML
Could someone come to my office and give me quite a violent shoulder massage and then talk to me about Wolverine: Origins while I try and deal with this system failure recovery so that I stop sitting here thinking about how much I want to just go home and pretend it isn’t happening and also cry?
(This is really not my job- I am a project manager but I was regrettably left in charge for a...

This almost made me emotional with the sheer beauty of it- it was like Freddie Mercury had lived to make an EDM album, I am literally buying it right now.

How to be Awesome by Diplomatic Ensign Noh-Varr,... →
I’ve finally got around to writing another thing for Freaky Trigger about Young Avengers, this time addressing whether anyone around here is cool or what. (yes)
Also Noh-Varr’s butt. Quuuiiite a lot about Noh-Varr’s butt.
Young people being obnoxious on the tube
Don’t know us old people are on Tumblr too.
Edit: I do object to the accusation that I look like Karen Brady though. Below the belt, young people, I am much sluttier looking.

kerdea replied to your post: My ongoing adventures in sort of liking Bruno Mars occasionally
I have this problem! Where it’s like I download a couple of his songs and put them in my iTunes because they’re fun, right? Good times! And then delete them a few months later because how the hell did these get in here?
I really hate his sort of passive-aggressive ~romantic~ (viz. not romantic) persona...

My ongoing adventures in sort of liking Bruno Mars...
I have the UK top 20 singles synced to my phone via Spotify because I am too out of touch to otherwise know what the eff is going on. And when I’m not flying into some sort of disoriented panic because Pitbull has turned up a-fucking-gain, it seems like The Mars is there a great deal.
So, When I Was Your Man is obviously pappy sub-balladry at its core but I find myself fairly enraptured by...

Like I know we are all bored of saying some Loki...
[Edit: this is MCU Loki I’m talking about, not Young Avengers Loki- I know why people want him not to be a dick, that’s all very painful and confusing and painful and *gross sobbing*]
Sometimes I think people confuse Loki with eg: Wolverine or Fantomex or Scarlet Witch or Spider Woman or Black Widow; these are characters who go round saying “I will put claws through your face/drop you...

Poverty as a Childhood Disease - NYTimes.com →
At the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies last week, there was a new call for pediatricians to address childhood poverty as a national problem, rather than wrestling with its consequences case by case in the exam room.
Poverty damages children’s dispositions and blunts their brains. We’ve seen articles about the language deficit in poorer homes and the gaps in school...

I have an amazing soft spot for the two issues of Wolverine And Doop, mainly because of Darwin Cooke’s art and also the whole 60s thing. And suits.
Awesome- thank you for the rec dude- that art looks amazing. Annoyingly, it’s not on the Marvel app/Comixology so I shall have to either ahem, source a 100%...

So since post-Uncanny X-Force I’m mad crushing on one such Logan, what are the best Wolverine comics?
I’ve read the solid pain-and-lying-on-the-floor-sobbing carnival that is Old Man Wolverine, all of Wolverine & the X-Men and the recent Avengers teams that he’s turned up on (New Avengers & volume 4) and obviously, Uncanny X-Force and am reading through yr 90s Age of...

jesus and now you’ve got me reading hawkguy fic on the train to Bristol. mainly because it’s a nice little universe to curl up in when I’m barely awake. Especially when nobody ships *anything*.
It is super lovely- very much about the methods of coping with general ‘stuff-ness.’ Have you seen...

Hey this new Nexus 4 thing has a really big screen...
So here I am innocently reading some fic on the tube and the girl next to me leans over for a second to wriggle her oyster card out of her pocket, sees either the AO3 header or some of the actual text (of a sweet sort of gen Hawkguy fic*) and looks up at me with a proper over-the-top-of-glasses, ‘I fucken see u’ expression, winks broadly and gets off at Hammersmith.
*I am tragically...

Ugh why is there always so much dub-con or full on non-con in kink memes? I was reading through one for research porpoises and nearly all the fulfilled ones were really amazingly gory non-con.
I do try not to, like, judge people’s ~things~ wrt sexuality but like underage stuff and anything with a heavy gore (and I’m not talking bloodplay or heavy bdsm or even conventional torture, I mean...
