hello lace: hello lace needs a volunteer programmer to finish the last few...:

hello lace needs a volunteer programmer to finish the last few percentages of the wardrobe and the control panel. The majority of the project has already been completed by Christina of Ramble Rori/Geek Menina, but had to be put on hold due to lack of time.

The project mainly uses MySQL and PHP,…

Who is that cheerful man with the adorably double-braided beard and why is he dressed up as a Japanese schoolgirl? Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft has the scoop: This is Hideaki Kobayashi and he’s known (and rightfully so) as “Sailor Suit Old Man.”

Recently, Japanese sites and Twitter users in Tokyo have spotted an old guy dressed in a sailor style school uniform—a truly unusual sight to behold. People were amused. People were baffled. What the hell was going on?!

Japanese site IT Media met Kobayashi and asked him the question on everyone’s mind: Why do you dress like a Japanese schoolgirl?

“That’s a difficult question,” said Kobayashi. “It’s not really something I’ve thought too deeply about. Hrm. I guess it’s because sailor suits look good on me?”

We hope Mr. Kobayashi has some inkling of just how awesome he is. We can’t stop smiling as we look at these photos. Head over to Kotaku to learn more about “Sailor Suit Old Man,” our new hero of Japanese weirdness.

Things of a Witchcrafty Nature: Serious Talk Time:

There were no “burning times.” If you’d like more information on the Spanish Inquisition and similar incidents, I encourage you to do that thing I’m always bitching about and RESEARCH. Wiccans, witches, and pagans in this day and age in places like the U.S. are not oppressed. We don’t really have to hide from society. We just do because as a whole we’re kind of pansy-assed about standing up for our own beliefs. That, and it gets really difficult to explain why pretty much everyone’s beliefs and practices are drastically different.

Has someone in your life called you crazy or insulted your religion? That really sucks, but if you want to see religious oppression talk to a Jew who survived the Holocaust. You aren’t dealing with anything close.

(Bolding mine.)

Clearly someone came from a privileged upper middle class family.

Pansy-assed, eh. You ever dealt with PTSD, or physical chronic injuries as the results of someone “calling you crazy or insulting your religion”? You ever been homeless because of your “religion”? Ever lose your job because of it? I can imagine not, and just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not out there.

Abuse and oppression are abuse and oppression. They are not to be dismissed because this is the USoffuckingA and because they’re not happening on the scale of the Holocaust. Also. Using that history to shame others into adopting your point of view is also real classy, by the way.

I’ve actually been kicked out of friend’s homes for saying I practice magic. I’ve actually been threatened due to magic with physical violence or social repercussions. My high school’s counselor, principle, and non-Hispanic teachers and my ex-shrink actually said I was schizophrenic even though in no way does my religious experiences harm my life. He just said “Those gods just aren’t real Mr. Calero. It is a product of…[etc]”, They actually told my parents I need help, that my religious beliefs are products of delusions; which is a step up from just being called crazy by classmates and friends. There are people in the medical community who, if able, would wrap up all of us in a straight jacket and throw us in the loony bin.

My current house mother, though this is in Europe mind you, actually thought I was practicing black magic. I had to play the Catholic card and pointed out the fact all the grimoires I have in my room that I bought in France were angelic grimoires. That’s okay, but my voodoo stuff is hidden in my suitcase for good reason.

So yes, while arguably most of America either passively disapproves or doesn’t care, there are parts of the USA that would do horrible, violent things. I do believe there is a Pagan author in Florida whose family members have been hospitalized and her house has had rocks/home-made bombs thrown in? Fuck’s sake, if there’s still racism and sexism and discrimination against sexual orientation to the point of murder and violence in the USA, what makes you think there isn’t against magic/pagans? It’s marginal, but it’s still there and some people live in those areas.

And while we’re on the subject, magic against people is banned in a variety of countries out of either morality laws or just flat out banning witchcraft. In Latin America, police have been known to raid/collect voodoo/santeria and any non-Catholic things from sellers under a variety of excuses, though religious discrimination is against the law. And I believe we’re all familiar with the fact even in Greece, the pagan faiths were outright banned until recently. So the so-called “first world” isn’t exactly 100% pagan-and-magic-friendly.

So no, it isn’t to the extent in the United States that the fluffy neowiccans and wiccans would like to play out, but it isn’t a complete lie either.

reblogging this since I get a lot shit from everyone ranging from doctors, parents, christians, and atheists

I am VERY lucky to not have been met with this criticism, but I am also still very quiet about my beliefs. My family is not idiotic enough to think of things so narrowly, but my community sure as shit is. As such, I keep a very, very low profile.

Many people are actually still in danger of being attacked everywhere they turn, verbally…and, yes, physically.

Part of it may be because so many are afraid to speak out. However religious minorities are truly looked down upon. We are in the unique position of having other faiths think we meddle with dark arts to produce harm, while atheists think we’re just as dumb, if not dumber, than the fundamentalists who verbally harass us.

Good job.
