My parents used “It’s Perfectly Natural” to teach me back in the 90s and from what I remember it was pretty progressive. Maybe they’ve updated since then? I remember the version they used had an illustrated line of naked men and women with super different body types and varying states of pubic hair that was helpful…

So every time Jez posts a science article, they get someone asking them to hire a science writer, and I get someone asking me to apply to be that science writer. I intended to write two samples this weekend.

How very Natalie Wood of you.

I trust nothing Mary Fallin or the Oklahoma legislature does.
