to be fair, for any woman traveling back in time earlier than, like, the sixties, lack of orgasm would be the least of our problems. I forget which comedian said it, but he was like, “yeah, the only people who could travel backwards in time and be okay would be white men. Everyone else would be fucked.”

It’s funny, because it’s a movie abou fish and fish mating, sex and gender behaviours are...weird, by human standards.

I made a donation to antique vibrator museum, but I dunno if they kept it. My pal got it for me at a garage sale. It was a Niagra Brand “massage”set similar to the one shown in the video, but it was all turquoise accents and chrome.

You know, my first instinct was to think he was Godwining himself. But then you read things like this:

One of the other teachers were complaining about how much makeup some of the girls wear. And she actually used me as an example of “appropriate” minimal makeup.

I had a work meeting at her magazine last year, and she not only stopped in to say hi, she sat down, chatted with me, then we ate quiche together. She was lovely, but no-nonsense. It was surreal.

One for the museums, one for me, one for the museums, one for me...
