Valentine's Nostalgia

I made a video book or gifbook based on the idea of valentine's nostalgia, from thefulcrum. They said think outside the box, so I thought, let's use the first european valentine letter as prompts to a computer simulation system. I had to break it up. I used deviantart dreamup to make three images for the first stanza while three for the second stanza. Then I used an art style common in the time of the poetry for each image. I chose the image that fronts the gif. But enjoy it all below. Read the description for more detail.

Attack of the Killer Great Fungoids!
Attack of the Killer Great Fungoids!

From Richard’s lab come forth each week
The ripe white monsters of which we speak
Except when he has, a security leak!
Great Fungoids, Great Fungoids!

Oh, isn’t it a pity? - Fungoids eating the netty!
Can no one stop these mutant fruits? Where will we find our brave recruits?
Can Chaos get rid, of that dumb parachute?
Great Fungoids, Great Fungoids! Yes!

Calling N.A.S.A.

I asked , don't know if they will reply [I will post in a later newsletter edition if they do]

Most governments in humanity are poor, they don't have the wealth or resources of the USA. Engineering is a process of gradual improvement. For example: people who built unmotorized bicycles went into automotive or aircraft manufacturing. My question: before a mission control for space exploration can be built is the prior construction an air traffic control ?

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

Do you know about female snakes?

I admit I knew about female snakes while totally ignorant about female snake vaginas. But I must go to the beginning. I saw the following image.

And I realized something. How can a snake-woman mate? In many images, snake woman seem to have a vagina like a human woman but that doesn't fit the snake anatomy well. Now I know that many species have an organ some call a cloaca [I learned for bird research a while back] which is designed to be a place for peeing/defecating/birthing. And I was right in my guess that snakes have cloacas. So I searched for one for females and I learned this is not commonly known. Knowing this if I ever do a hybrid snake-human woman in the future I will consider that reality in her posture. A study done in 2022 says the following in italic, with the entirety at the URL linked after the italic text. Remember to click read more.

Despite more than two centuries' worth of data on hemipenes, however, nobody had described an equivalent structure in female snakes. The lack of evidence caused some scientists to speculate that snake hemiclitorises might not exist at all — or that, if they did, they had been reduced to a stunted evolutionary remnant.

A lack of research around female anatomy is a troubling scientific trend. Even in humans, surprisingly little is known about the clitoris. The full structure of the organ, which includes not only the little nub at the top of the labia but also two large internal bulbs full of nerve endings, wasn't discovered until the mid-1840s. Even then, it remained relatively obscure to the medical establishment until Australian urologist Helen O'Connell's work in 2005, which showed that typical textbook depictions of the clitoris were riddled with inaccuracies. In fact, just last month, scientists counted all 10,000 nerve fibers in the human clitoris for the first time.

Data about female reproductive anatomy and behavior in nonhuman animals are even more scarce. A November analysis published in the journal Nature found that between 1970 and 2021, more than seven times as many papers were published about sperm competition in animals compared with female mate selection. A 2014 perspectives article published in the journal PLOS Biology found that about 50% of all studies of animal genitalia published between 1989 and 2013 focused exclusively on males, while 10% focused only on females.

The legend soundtracks

if you don't know the film, see the following, yes full of spoilers. but, skip to the next topic if you don't want to. And, the reviewers are biased.

Okay, I will place, Goldsmith's first and then Tangerine's second as i can only do linear positioning her for embeds.

Side note before you go, aren't the covers both great.
