Proof of life from Harry Potter’s (non-TERFy) trekkie mom. Not gay as in Dumbledore but queer as in “SPOCK YOU” Hi, Tumblr. Miss you. Dunno if I’ll be back around much, but I did want to make my enduring fondness known. xoxo Mer

We did it.
Got her prepped and airborne by Inauguration Day.
We made the go-juice go.
She tastes like freedom.
Fly with us?
Product Description:
The Harpy of ancient Greek mythology is defined as a fearsome creature; part woman, and part bird, who thirsts for vengeance. Various tales describe how harpies would descend in screeching flocks to snatch up evildoers in their talons and deliver them, begging for mercy, to the merciless Furies. For several centuries, "Harpy" has remained a popular slang term, used to describe a particularly nasty or contentious woman.
These beautiful terrors are the inspiration for HARPYCORPS, a monstrous feminist art rage alliance instigated by a bunch of fed-up women and queers.
HARPYCORPS' chief mission is to create a network of safe spaces, both virtual and physical, where brave humans from all walks of life can come together to explore the immense power inherent in our femininity. We strive to create artistic works --both as individuals and in collaboration-- that express our non-compliance with rape culture, unapologetically celebrate our sexuality, elevate the public discourse around various civil rights issues, and purge the toxins of misogyny and kyriarchy from our bodies and minds.
Every bottle sold will help the chief agitators of HARPYCORPS to facilitate these goals. What better way to make our intentions known than on Inauguration Day, 2017, with a ferociously caffeinated beverage? We are fierce. We are femme. We will not flinch. Prepare your gullets and brace your cloacas for... BLOOD OF THE HARPY.
Herr Direktor Funranium's Adds...
So, this is something a little different than normal. When my friend, musician and Coilhouse Magazine maven Meredith Yayanos first proposed this in support of her monstrous feminist HARPYCORPS project, she wanted something special. If I remember our conversation over pizza correctly, "The Blood of the Harpy needs to be a bit harsh, like a cruel truth, but invigorating once you accept it." Blood of the Harpy is a blend of the African BBotEs with a primary base of Death Wish, and an extra spice kick. Accordingly, the caffeine content on this one is a might bit higher than normal run of the mill BBotE, but milder than just straight up Death Wish.
The exquisitely detailed label was drawn and hand lettered (something I still can't believe he did) by noted monstermaker, sculptor, horrorsmith and friend of Mer's, Paul Komoda. If you need your home to creep people out more than it already does, please purchase anything and everything you can from this singular artist.
For the record, if you would like this filled with something different because you think the bottle is awesome but can't take the elevated caffeine level of the Death Wish base, I understand. I am willing to do so, just leave me a note with the variety you'd like and I'll make it happen.
A PSA for the scared, selfish old white people who put Trump in office. #inaugurationday2017 #harpycorps
Hey, femmes! Informal roll call. First in-person #HARPYCORPS meeting needs to go on the calendar, STAT. It'll be happening in SF sometime this month, and it will be webcast globally. You interested? Holler. Will circle back once ensconced in LA stronghold with beloved conspirator @lauriepenny. FUCK YEAH, WITCHES. GAME ON. #harpycorps (at DNA Lounge)
Crop of one of the Tetanus Alley portraits taken by @ickaboo, late last November. (Hadn't brushed my hair since the election.) Happy Solstice, comrades. Look to the light. #harpycorps #theremina #theharpy #theparlourtrick
A reminder that every vinyl sale on these pre-orders will help tremendously in allowing The Parlour Trick's creator and director, (dats me! Meredith Yayanos, aka theremina!) to pursue her development of the monstrous feminist art rage collective known as #HARPYCORPS. I've never been more sure of anything I wanted to do in my entire life. It is an honor to feel this alive and awake and furious and full of love and ready to fight. Join me? Help me? Buy a beautiful, independently produced monstrous feminine art object / musical offering, and know that it will lead to more beautiful and loving artmonsters! https://theparlourtrick.bandcamp.com/merch Gratefully, ghostfully, Mer @theremina
