Sometime in the mid-to-late 1980s, Annie Sprinkle became somewhat famous (or notorious, depending on who you talk to) for her performance art show Porn Post Modernist, which included a bit she called A Public Cervix Announcement:
Personally, I’ve always thought she should have called it “Through Darkest Ignorance With Flashlight And Speculum”:
Well, it’s now twenty(ish) years later, in the age of the internet and digital cameras. Which means Annie’s groundbreaking work has been re-imagined, in the spirit of “citizen science”, as the Beautiful Cervix Project, with high-resolution color photographs taken daily over time, complete with a tip-o-the-hat to the “very talented boyfriend with a headlamp.” The only thing that feels 1980s about this project is the understandable but blogger-unfriendly advance-permission-required photo reproduction policy; in every other respect, it’s very much in the style we’ve come to think of as “Wikipedia Modern”:

This little photo essay from Dr. Tushy tells the story of a medical exam gone unprofessionally friendly. I especially like the look in her eye the moment she begins to grow skeptical of the “breast exam”. You can almost hear her thinking “Well, if that’s the way it’s going to be, give me that damn stethoscope and show me someplace warm of yours to put it!”

This post has turned into a study in faces, as so often happens when I am left too long unsupervised with a set of porn photos and a cropping tool. What’s causing this intense internal conversation that Lilla Katt is having with herself?
The answer? Warm soapy water, and lots of it, with just a little bit of help from the power of gravity:

This is from the not-very-secret pop-up easter egg tooltip text associated with a recent xkcd comic:
There’s Livejournal drama between those who want to wear human suits over fursuits and those who just take off the fursuits.
What’s notable about this asserted fact is that:
1) I believe it, absolutely, despite having made zero effort to Google it or confirm it in any other way;
2) The fact of my belief says something profound and interesting about the way we process information and establish our trust heuristics in the internet “information overload” era.

Is it almost Halloween yet? Because I stumbled over this “Three Witches” illustration by Hans Baldung:
And then, when I looked him up in the Wikipedia, I found his “Witch And Dragon”:
I never knew that, when slaying dragons in the nude, you had to worry about him slipping you some tongue.

I see this girl as having a slightly surly look on her face, as if she’s thinking: “Do you mind? I’m having a moment here.”
