Tarot In Plain Sight After many discussions about the Tarot back in my hermitosis days, I've made my own site. Arcanalogue gathers all the most evocative and inspiring things that I find online (mostly MetaFilter, of course) and re-interprets them through the centuries-old eyes of the Major and Minor Arcana.

El Gato Unicornio!

As a child, illustrator Rafa Toro adored the creepy Monstruos Diabolicos sticker collection. As an adult, he's giving the whole set a fresh look. [Via]

AskMe is NOT an adoption service.

I adore konolia and have defended her before, but her comment in this thread is intolerable.

He's Not My Brother, Dammit.

How to tactfully respond when people comment that my partner and I look like "brothers"?

Gospel On Sundays

The man who's remaking Coney Island, in his own words. Joe Sitt is a developer "who has spent 20 years trying to lure the nation's top retail chains into inner cities and yuppie downtowns."

Hermitosis: A Malady of Perspective Interviews about horror, featuring many people of note! Victims include Michael K. Williams (The Wire's Omar Little); film directors Jennifer Lynch, Mitchell Lichtenstein, and JT Petty; Philip Glass protogé Nico Muhly; 2008 Pulitzer-winning playwright Tracy Letts; Project Runway designer Chris March; Allan Apone, whose Faces of Death special effects faked out a generation, and many more. I've also amassed interviews with many others whose occupation gives them a unique perspective on the genre, such as the head perfumier at BPAL, a magician, an oral surgeon, a zombie scholar, an *ahem* funeral director, and so forth!

A Bird In Her Birthday Suit

Lost Ray Harryhausen footage? No, it's a real bird that keeps itself fully plucked due to an unfortunate malady. Sort of cuddly in a leathery, scuttling way, don't you think?
