We've taken her inside in case she gets cold, wet or lonely.

To answer your questions:
-The little Vagina Museum dalek is made of stone or concrete, she's very heavy
-We are watching her closely just in case she's a Weeping Angel hybrid
-We have a lift. We're fucked if her intentions are nefarious.

To answer another dalek-related question: we know our visitors. They're awesome. Many are not typical/stereotypical museum visitors. It's entirely possible that a visitor:

1. Owns a concrete dalek
2. Takes it out with them
3. Is sufficiently neurodivergent to not notice a heavy concrete object falling out of their bag.

btw did you know we do neurodiversity-friendly quiet mornings on Thursdays? So if you find the sound of videos and background music overwhelming, and would like stim toys available to you, no questions asked, these weekly sessions are for you! https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/accessmornings

we don't know who needs to hear it today but
✨it's not wanton to look at your vulva in a mirror✨
in fact, you should check it at least once every couple of months for changes, lumps and bumps.

*getting a friend to hold the mirror for you is strictly optional

The work that NUM do is striving to end all forms of violence against sex workers. They undertake research, and develop and deliver safety tools to sex workers.

In the UK, we are going through a major cost-of-living crisis. This crisis is causing more people to turn to sex work to pay the bills and put food on the table. This is especially pronounced among low-income single mothers; racialised or migrant backgrounds; and students.

NUM's research also shows that the cost-of-living crisis is causing increased risk for sex workers. hey're finding clients are becoming more pushy and demanding, and taking on work they wouldn't usually accept. https://nationaluglymugs.org/2022/12/19/report-sex-workers-experiences-of-the-cost-of-living-crisis/

NUM have been doing fantastic work in mitigating the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on sex workers. They received some funding for a project to provide emergency vouchers and increasing out-of-hours support.

But they need your help to do this vital work! That's why we've teamed up with NUM on this collaboration. All proceeds are shared between NUM and the Vagina Museum https://vaginamuseumshop.co.uk/collections/num-collab-collection

By 2018, Florence had well and truly established the Vagina Museum as a real thing. She was rushing around the country in a whirlwind of talks and pop-ups in all sorts of places, like this snap taken at the Wellcome Trust.

You might have spotted that in the photo Florence is pointing at our Board of Trustees. That was another thing that she achieved in 2018 - it was the year that the Vagina Museum started the long process of becoming a charity.

Unfortunately, we didn't achieve charitable status in 2018. There was a delay. The Charity Commission had concerns about registering the name Vagina Museum as they thought it could be "offensive" or cause "negative perceptions".

Ever the fighter, Florence set out to defend our good name, and wrote a four page response to the Charity Commission. You can read the entire thing here: https://masto.ai/

Thanks to that passion and fighting spirit, the Charity Commission relented, and in early 2019, the Vagina Museum was fully, officially registered as a charity!

2019 was a huge year for the Vagina Museum, and many of you probably joined the story at that point. Once we hit our next £700 milestone, we'll tell you more. Please donate to celebrate the many times that Florence has achieved the quim-possible, over and over! https://www.gofundme.com/f/thank-you-for-your-cervix-florence

if Much Ado was made today, there's a strong case to be made for calling it A Great Big Hoo-ha About Hoo-Ha

we're not sure if there's a world record for how many rude jokes you can get into one paragraph, but this is a contender, and we pity poor Mistress Quickly's vag.

Hamlet again, because you have to remember Hamlet was a young guy, and therefore somewhat preoccupied, and also the play is pretty long and depressing so you need to cheer it up in places

and finally, a sad one. even in one of the most tragic dramatic climaxes in the history of theatre, Will manages to get a vagina pun in there

@daycoder @forteller "thing" was "penis"; and "nothing" was very, very commonly used in the common vernacular.
