Normally when we post patents, they're late 19th/early 20th century objects for interfacing with vaginas. This is neither, but we're going to tell you about it anyway. This is the Apparatus For Facilitating The Birth Of A Child By Centrifugal Force, patented in 1965. Today in The Struggle Of Existing As A Vagina Museum In The Digital World: Google have flagged a learning resource as "sexually explicit". As a small charity, we use Google Drive for many tasks, including hosting resources, as it's an affordable solution.

 @vagina_museum #AllGAFAMsAreEvil and it's sad to see that you got hit by them...  @vagina_museum Leave Google. There are several European options that won't report you to authorities for sending a photo of your sick child to the doctor (yes, this happened). @protonmail (Swiss) and @ViOffice (German) are two options I can think of right now but there are many more. Barbie is a polymath, but in the circles we move in, she is perhaps better known for her hairless, featureless vulva than her myriad achievements. Here's a very brief history of "Barbie Crotch" - labia-less, hairless, featureless vulvas - in art. So we all begin on the same page, here's a couple of human vulvas. While everyone looks a little different down below, from the front you will see pubic hair (unless it's been removed), a "pudendal cleft" where the labia majora meet, and in 50% of people some labia minora and/or clitoral hood. Courtesy of The Labia Library.  @vagina_museum “You can touch my hair undress me everywhere” quickly loses its appeal and certainly doesn’t qualify as “plastic it’s fantastic” We're seeing more and more accounts on other social media platforms censoring normal anatomical words as if they're dirty - using nonsense terms like "v&g1n@". You'll never catch us doing that. Here's why...

@vagina_museum  Good grie! What ridiculous and harmful trend. Thank you for this info. Vagina (Just feeling a little rebellious) We're going to post something that isn't allowed on Twitter: a brief history of the term "cisgender"...

 @vagina_museum thanks for this history. It's done much to flesh out my understanding. My encounter with 'cis' on the interwebs was confusing. It took me some time to figure out what people were talking about. After understanding the topic (in general terms) I'm confused differently; there seem to be few ways to participate in the conversation that doesn't quickly devolve into name calling and casting dark aspersions on peoples' motivation. @vagina_museum thank you. Once again M*sk came on the side of the Nazis. I posted the link to your thread on the bird site. 😂 We have REACHED our £30,000 target on our new home crowdfunder!!!!! That's quim-azing! Fanny-tastic! Mar-vulva-lous! Please keep sharing and donating as we could do with more in the kitty - we'll have an update next week on the next steps. https://www.gofundme.com/f/9um7y  Since you all enjoyed this thread on menstrual synchrony, let's look at another scientific theory about the influence of menstruation on the world around you. Let's explore menotoxin theory, the scientifically-accepted theory that when you're on your period you're wafting invisible poisons that wilt flowers and stop bread from rising, which was popular until the 1970s... https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110276851483640953 So, in 1920 a doctor Béla Schick reported in a medical article that he'd spotted flowers wilt and bread doesn't leaven when it's held by women on the first or third day of their period. this, he proposed, was caused by a toxin they emit - menotoxin. 1920! BUT WAIT, it's not like he was the only one. This theory was WILDLY popular. A #LesbianVisibilityDay reminder if you're travelling back in time: here's how you can talk about vaginas just like Anne Lister https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110135098806167838 OLD THREAD REPOST In 2008, a paper was published reporting on a woman who had normal periods, conceived and gave birth normally, went through menopause normally and had normal hormones. Everything about her was as expected... except that most of the cells in her body had XY chromosomes. Now, typically a fertilised egg with a 46XY karyotype will go on to have a penis and testes, and produce sperm. With a 46XX karyotype, it will go on to have a uterus and ovaries, vagina and vulva, and produce eggs. Typically. There are lots of variations. Egg fact: Kiwi birds have the largest egg to body size ratio - its egg can weigh a quarter of the weight of the bird! When the baby hatches, it comes out with feathers and is developed enough to kick its way out. Photo courtesy of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

@vagina_museum No wonder the female just lays the egg and walks away, leaving the male to do the incubation. Smart! WE ARE CROWDFUNDING! We've been looking around for the perfect new home, and so far nothing has been the perfect fit. We need your help to secure that perfect space to reopen our doors. We're aiming to raise £30,000 to assist with our search https://www.gofundme.com/f/9um7y Any donation, big or small, makes a huge difference - it helps us to achieve the critical mass required to make this crowdfunding campaign a roaring success. https://www.gofundme.com/f/9um7y We've published a new guide to the anatomy of the clitoris! Here's the parts of the internal and external organ.

Hello to fediverse friends new and old! For those who haven't met us yet, we'd like to introduce ourselves. For those who have been long-term fanny-fans, we're gonna reintroduce ourselves and maybe you'll learn something new. First things first: YES there's a Vagina Museum, a bricks-and-mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas, and the gynaecological anatomy. And we're it. We started out in 2017 as a series of pop-up events. Thanks to a crowdfunder in 2019, we moved into our first premises in Camden Market later that year. Our time there was difficult because the pandemic meant we spent much of our time in that space closed. In 2022, we moved into our new home in Bethnal Green, London. To inaugurate our brand new Mastodon account, we're gonna tell you everything we know (and don't know) about MASTODON VAGINAS. As in the extinct animal, obvs. First things first, mastodons were a giant animal related to present-day elephants and woolly mammoths. The name literally translates as "breast tooth" because anatomist Georges Cuvier thought its molars looked like they had nipples. |

@vagina_museum YIKES
@vagina_museum Better known as The Hula-Doula.
@vagina_museum I suspect that advances in rocketry have made this invention moot, assuming there are no questions about citizenship when the baby is expelled while in low-earth orbit?
