Spring

I wrote about my feelings about today's Boston Marathon for the latest bonus STW comic on Medium, but to be more direct, please remember: memories are good in honoring those we lost, but focus on the lessons we gained so that we can all move forward from it for the better.

Happy Patriots Day. And happy Marathon Monday.

Oh, stupidity, but you are indeed the sixth dimension, just after imagination. We exist in three dimensions, travel through the fourth, utilize the fifth to create, and are oppressed by the foot we constantly have in the sixth. That's life in a nutshell.

We're trying something different for recitations - you can participate and help decide which question gets answered each Friday on STW. Submit a question to the specific thread in the STW subreddit over the course of the week, and vote on the other questions that have been submitted as well. Top vote-getter gets answered next Friday, so vote up or down as you will! A more democratic recitation, just in time (almost) for 2014. Enjoy!

We tell people how to be beautiful all the time, so why not how to be awesome?

We were mentioned on the Today Show this morning! Have a look. Also you can download a high-resolution version of this comic for free, here.

We’ve said it before, and we will keep saying it: the clitoris isn’t just a little nub, and there isn’t some sort of magical divide between “clitoral orgasms” and “vaginal orgasms.”

Don’t believe me? Check out this fantastic article about The Internal Clitoris over on The Museum of Sex blog (even if you’re totally on the same page as us, its totally worth a read!) It discusses how the politics of the medical field has kept funding away from researching the clitoris, which has in turn kept most clitoris owners, their partners, and their doctors in the dark about the complex anatomy and physiology of this amazing organ. The article also displays some enlightening drawings and high-tech 3D renderings of the clitoris and its internal structures.

If you want to learn more, check out Women’s Anatomy of Arousal and Tip of the Iceberg.

One of the fundamental laws of the universe, I'm sure.

It’s the only qualification necessary to be the ambassador to Siberia. Yes. Just Siberia.
