They are just absolutely terrified by the thought of penises being removed, whether or not it actually happens. Worst thing they can think of, except maybe being seduced by a beautiful woman who turns out to have a penis

A row of fabric shapes that can be sewn into codpieces. Fabrics include black linen, red wool blend, green satin, shiny silver, blue and white striped cotton, and white satin partially stitched.

Time to restock codpieces, a totally normal thing to say. Checking the codpiece box to see what past me thought we should work on. EowynsCloset on Etsy. ๐Ÿชก๐Ÿ†

This sounds like every job I ever worked at, as a woman in the pharmaceutical industry.

Based on my own experience you might want to not proceed until you block a swatch and find out how much that color's going to bleed. Better to find out now.

I don't have an opinion but I'm fascinated by the questions

So now you have that much more experience in how to do it. Congrats!

A display head wearing a knitted and felted Tudor flat cap in a dark teal, felted a little less than usual to fit larger heads.

A dress dummy wearing a white linen partlet, a sort of Elizabethan dickey to pin over or tuck under your gown neckline for warmth or modesty. This is in a larger size. The neck is trimmed with a small antique linen lace.

Well, they're finishing off the concept of a free country right now, so

That was not an uncommon phrase among children in the 1960s and 1970s

My sign from last year's march, which went viral. Will unretire it for tomorrow's march because things have not improved

When I visited, there was a child - maybe 10 or 12 - collecting the entrance fee, which was 10 of whatever currency you had. I learned that most of the animal kingdom's penii are surprisingly pointy.

Had a cat who answered to "what the hell is wrong with you". Not intentional, but I guess he heard it often enough that when I said it about something else he came to see what I wanted

A strip of sheer linen, hemmed at the long edges, with an inset of lace pinned and partially sewn down the center. The hand holding it and the backlighting show how translucent the fabric is. The fabric behind the lace has been cut away. You're gonna need a camisole.

Fine linen voile and antique bobbin lace. This blouse is going to be pretty, but sheer. ๐Ÿชก

I did a study knocking out a gene in mice. Did not do what we thought, but I observed that homozygote knockouts did not put on excess weight as they aged, heterozygotes only gained half of wildtype. Not published, NDA. Can't tell anyone which suppressed enzyme keeps you thin. Want to!

I recently found ESPN 8, or OCHO, which is where the weird sports and sport-like activities live. Seems like the perfect home for this.
