Teddy Goes to the USSRA Gift for Stalin, Part Two: The Accursed ShareIt all started with a letter to Stalin in 1935. And when a Kremlin clerk opened it, there was a piece of shit inside.
Was the turd an insult? A way of saying to Stalin, “You’re a shit. Here’s some shit”?
Perhaps.
But I ended Part One of a Gift for Stalin on a different note: that the turd addressed to Stalin was no slight at all. It was, in fact, a gift.
A little brown present for Comrade Stalin.
Every society must deal with shit. Where to put it. Wh...

Havuhattu podcastJakso 48: Paska & elämänkiertoTosiasia on, että kaikki elävät organismit paskovat. Uloste voi näkökulmasta riippuen olla valtava, erittäin pahanhajuinen ongelma tai toivoa luova ratkaisu aikamme haasteisiin. Miksi siis paskasta puhuminen on niin suuri tabu, vai onko sittenkään? Harva meistä nostaa paskan puheenaiheeksi ihan missä tahansa seurassa, mutta toisaalta erilaisten kakkaamiseen liittyvien kirjojen - ja jopa kakkaemojin - suosio kertoo asenteiden muuttumisesta viime vuosien aikana.
Niin tai näin, paskasta olisi mielestämme syytä puhua enemmän. Tässä teemajaksossa rohkaistuimme avaamaan sanaisen arkkumme tästä demokraattisesta toiminnosta. Ja puhetta paskasta tässä jaksossa riittää; elimistömme ihmeellisestä tavasta tuottaa tätä “pimeää ain...
