The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman. The toothed creature can break her power.

"The Gentiles' Hope is in Christ, Too" | Matthew 12:18-21 | Adam Wagner

[passionthatmoves]

Ordinarily, it is hard to complain about “Henry VIII” clauses or appeal for better parliamentary procedure without sounding pernickety or being accused of focusing on process not substance. But the last 12 months have shown why the sticklers might be worth listening to. We supposedly live in an advanced liberal democracy, but it is surely profoundly illiberal and anti-democratic to legislate away our most basic liberties by fiat. Parliament would have been up in arms if this possibility had been advertised in 2008. It should have horrified parliament this last year, too, but MPs—like proverbial slow-boiled frogs—have incrementally become resigned to their diminished role. MPs are now so supine they have practically prorogued themselves. The result is that the government has done breathtaking things—ranging from the almost total ban on physical relationships between consenting adults who don’t live together, to the possible abolition of the right to (even socially distanced) protest—before anyone can ask questions. The shocking events following Sarah Everard’s death bring home the point (for transparency: I am acting for the women who organised the original vigil). In a democracy, the right to protest is fundamental. The government has been advised that the risk from outdoor transmission at protests is low—if it wanted to limit protest it should have established clear principles that would allow it to happen safely. The police should not be picking and choosing which protests they permit on a whim. When that happens—as some warned, and everyone can now see—we end up with women being dragged away screaming from a solemn vigil. When parliament is sidelined and protest is banned, the threat to democracy is doubled.

The Leica H: A Little Leica Camera That Never Got Made

How many of you know a thing or two about the Leica H?

All images “Photo (c) Lars Netopil Classic Cameras, Wetzlar“ Used with permission. The story of the Leica H is a rather unfortunate one that in many ways, makes me question how it would have affected the camera manufacturing industry. Imagine being so committed to a creation of yours: treating it almost like a special part of you only to know that while the idea is pretty fantastic, it just won’t…
