Though if you’re geeky enough to wear the Periodic Table of Elements on your wrist, you probably know it by heart, right? It’s one of many by JezebelCharms on Etsy.

Kraft celebrated Pride Day yesterday by posting this rainbow Oreo on its Facebook page. While the response was mostly positive — nearly 170,000 “likes” at the time of this writing — guess what? Some people didn’t like it because of the gay. And now they’re going to boycott cookies. Well, I guess they’ll go eat worms. More cookies for us! Good job, Kraft! (via Business Insider)

The Etsy shop Pica Pica Press was brought to my attention recently, and when I tell you I felt like I found the jewelry store that only existed in my head, I am not kidding. This is some of the best geek jewelry I’ve seen on the internet — subtle, pretty, and self-explanatory. Not to mention reasonably priced. You will want to see this.

Informal poll: If you found yourself pregnant and hankering for some cosplay, what do you do about that growing belly? It starts heading into “cheesy Halloween costume” territory, doesn’t it? Pregnant Leia, pregnant Wonder Woman … but why stick to humans and try other orb-shaped elements of geekdom? Like this expectant mom did with the Death Star? See more pics at Global Geek News.

As part of DC Comics‘ New 52, one character was rumored to be rebooted as an openly gay character, but who was it going to be? Well, on the heels of Marvel‘s gay wedding, we now know that it will be the Green Lantern himself, Alan Scott, exiting the closet, and making the DC universe more diverse and inclusive!
But, something reminds us of another gay comic book character, something about the garb… Hmmm… (via The Beat, image via anonymous tip))

Have you ever found yourself in the following situation? You’re a Marvel fan, and you own more than one Marvel-themed t-shirt. But you have somewhere to go where you need to look a little nicer, and your Spider-Man t-shirt just won’t fly. (Hehe — little superhero joke there.) What is a girl to do? The costume jewelry brand 1928 has a solution for you: jewelry inspired by Marvel comics that is beautiful and, even better, affordable. Like that Spidey bracelet above. After the jump, see even more pieces and where you can buy them.

We’ve featured rings inspired by Portal before, but these are probably appropriate for a more special occasion. Created by Etsy seller 17thbit, they are 8 mm wide and come in sterling silver. One version reads “You Have the Portal to My Heart,” the other features the companion cube. So obviously, they don’t have to be wedding rings, but they sure could be. If that’s your thing, you lovey-dovey gamers, you. More views of the rings after the jump.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
