Genius: virtual tampon donations! (Free! Just click!) How has it never occurred to me until this moment that women's shelters would have a huge need for tampons?

And while we're on the subject, please see the best rant I've read lately about manufacturers who treat their customers like fools. The premise: Kotex packaging recently changed for the worse...

The package used to have kind of a purple theme going on - you know, the kind that says, "BOYS: DANGER. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR GIRLS. If you purchase it, you will immediately be emasculated by a team of top drugstore surgeons." Kind of unnecessary, because I promise you no male has ever accidentally purchased tampons, just on impulse or whatever, but I was used to it, anyway.

Alas, there's nothing actually useful to say tonight.

Hi. I'm back. But only because my life just keeps getting weirder.

Yesterday's run-in with the vulva puppet wasn't bad enough. Today, I hopped onto the Hampshire-MHC PVTA to find an intrepid Hampshire student knitting a womb.

Re-read that if you need to. I'll help: KNITTING. A WOMB.

She was fashioning a fallopian tube out of pink and white variegated yarn, and cursing at the little fringy bits on the end (it was looking kind of frayed). Surprisingly, nobody made any obvious tube-tying jokes...possibly because they were all so horrified? I don't know. I tried really hard to pay attention to my film reading, and only caught bits and pieces of the subsequent conversation about midwifery.

No words, people. I have no words for this. I'm honestly a bit frightened about what craftsy reproductive organs I may encounter next.
