Created by Efisio Marini, an Italian naturalist doctor, this table is made completely out of human remains, including petrified brain, blood, liver, bile, lung, and glands.

So you don’t remember dialling this number? You just sort of woke up with the phone pressed to your ear, ringing on the other end? Or maybe you thought you’d dialled a different number, but your digits betrayed you. Or there’s a faulty connection somewhere out there in that spiderweb lattice of phone cords that covers all of creation…

Ferns and Fiddleheads Knee High | Mod Sock

These socks bring your toes to the shadowed, lush loveliness of the forest floor, resplendent with ferns and unfurling fiddleheads.

These are sock size 9-11, and should fit US shoe sizes women’s 6-11 or men’s 4-9, but we think they’ll be loose for folks with feet smaller than a US women’s shoe size 7 / men’s 5. The cuff stretches to 17 inches and the calf stretches to 15 inches.

Little is known about Caper in the Castro, the first LGBT computer game, or its designer, CM Ralph. We tracked her down and talked to her about her now-lost game.

Here’s an interview from 2014 with CM Ralph, the developer of the first known LGBT game. Caper in the Castro was a Macintosh HyperCard game from 1989 about “a lesbian detective investigating the disappearance of a transgender woman in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco.”

(Unfortunately, there’s currently no known surviving copy.)

You can read more at the LGBTQ Video Game Archive, which has a copy of an article about the game from The Washington Blade from 1989. According to an ad from the Blade, in exchange for the game Ralph asked that you donate to an AIDS charity.

(Scan via LGBT Video Game Archive. Yes, the villain was apparently really named Straightman.)
