Friday Ephemera (759)
Hot gasses. || Algae and turtles. || Ah, that would explain the cones and tape. || “It had three tentacles and started tapping on my window.” || Not in fact a dog. || Ditto. || Definitely pregnant. || The progressive retail experience, parts 618, 619, 620, and 621. || She advises on mental health and her pronouns are turtle. || Packaging of note. || The future of shopping, 1982. || Leg man. || That can’t be good. || Gummi innards. || Excessive jiggling. || Ice integrity test. || Loving the monster in modern academia. || And speaking of academia, from The Journal of Lesbian Studies. || Hey, baby. Wanna reproduce? || “Heads for all occasions.” || Green Party’s Carla Denyer ponders womanhood. || A Guardian retrospective. || Unforeseen difficulties. || And finally, I’m sure it seemed a good idea at the time.
