                  I’m really offended that everyone is discussing diarrhea as if it’s something gross and to be ashamed of. It’s one of Mother Nature’s GIFTS to us. It’s a reminder of our daily rhythms of eating and pooping, and how modern life has utterly destroyed our mystickal connections to our gastrointestinal tracts.

                  I am currently writing meditative songs for melodica and kazoo, which I will be marketing on my new Etsy shop, along with paintings in earth tones (mostly brown, some green) with which we can all meditate when we are having diarrhea. One focuses on one’s navel, or on a mirror strategically placed to look up one’s butt, and chants “Eru, eru, my tender assflower, release your pain into the bowl of triumph”.

                  Then one sends me $30 lest I charge you with poor pooping skills.

                  Diarrhea is simply Gaia’s way of saying “recycle faster, human scum!” Shit well, my friends.

      Strategically-placed rubber cement: freaking out freshmen in design programs since 1910.

    My partner wants this for her office. She’ll haul it out and hang it on the door once a month for five days as fair warning.

    I gave my daughter The Talk last week, and I can’t BELIEVE I didn’t have this handy little visual aid.

    I think Crochet Guevara should gather up all of the bloody wombyn bullshit and do a bloody, tampon, menstruation, “view it in a room”! A period room perfect for any girl. (who will spend the rest of her life blaming her parents for this curse!)

    I actually really, really like this.

    For the sole reason that the seller is poking fun at the menstrual-craft phenomenon, not buying into it in earnest.

    I wish I’d had this when I was still married. My ex never did seem to be able to figure out when I was on the rag. If I’d just had this to leave on his pillow, he wouldn’t have ended up with his feelings hurt (though I doubt his feelings hurt as much as my cramps).
