Look at this and guess what it is (hint—it’s not a penguin, it’s not a banana peel, and it’s not a flower).

Have you guessed yet? Seriously, guess.

“I want to get that image out,” says Seattle artist Lynn Schirmer. She was sitting in her loft in the Tashiro Kaplan Building the other day, drinking tea. “I want everybody everywhere to know what that shape is.”

That shape is a human clitoris. If what you see when you close your eyes and picture a clitoris is merely a nubby button, then (A) you are normal, and (B) you are wrong. The nubby button is connected to a neck the size of the first joint of your thumb, and stretching from that neck are two arms that flare like a wishbone—arms that can be as long as three-and-a-half inches. The two bulbs that also extend from the center, which make the clitoris look like a penguin, were thought to belong to the vagina until recently. In the 1990s, Australian urologist Helen O’Connell “initiated the mainstream medical profession’s rediscovery” of the clitoris, Schirmer says, “and it took until just a few years ago to see it fully mapped via MRI and other noninvasive imaging technologies.” The result? The discovery that the clitoris has 10 times more erectile tissue than anatomy textbooks or the illustrations at the doctor’s office show.

lol I definitely recognized this right away. I guess I know my clitorises well. teehee :X

Yup, I’m reposting the exact same thing I posted yesterday….

For all the moments of despair we feel in battle over reproductive rights, donating to an abortion fund is a concrete way to help actual people in moments of true crisis.

And all it takes is $5 to help someone who has no where else to turn.

Please donate if you can. Your money WILL make a real difference.

My bowl-a-thon effort goes to the Lilith Fund here in Texas, a state that needs all the help it can get when it comes to reproductive rights and health care. Even though Lilith Fund gave out the most money ever last year ($78,000), they could only help 25% of people who called needing financial assistance to get an abortion. They had to tell 75% of the people who called them asking for help that they could not do anything for them. That is tragic. 

And if you want to donate to a fund closer to your home, check out the long list of funds participating in this year’s event. 

Seriously, if 1/2 the people who follow just this blog donated $5/piece, that would be $7,500, nearly 10% of Lilith Fund’s total budget last year. 

Maybe as individuals we can’t save the world but together, in small pieces, we can get damn close.
