I had one of my worst childhood panic attacks at the Ripley’s museum in St. Augustine, too! I was about six, and I freaked out at the exhibit where a photo of a man with his lip pulled over his nose was captioned with something about a man making faces and it got stuck that way. On the other side of the mirror above it was a two-way glass pane, but it was around the corner in another room and you wouldn’t know about it unless you had been before. Anyway, I completely freaked out and I felt sick the rest of the day even after my parents got me calmed down. I remember for some reason I was still convinced my dad would make a face and it would be stuck, for WAY too long afterwards. I didn’t even want to go back to Ripley’s years later, like in my teens, because it had been so traumatizing and I had experienced feelings I couldn’t explain or control. And I have high-functioning autism so it was particularly bad. By the way, I did go back, and I am glad because it helped alleviate the trauma of the first visit. I can also say the St. Augustine location is the best of the ones I have seen, for what it’s worth.

Michael, I started listening to Small Beans a month or so ago, and have been enjoying the lighter material. Yesterday I started listening to "Tales From the Pit", and that pushed me over the edge to becoming a patron. I loved the short story in this episode, and am touched and impressed by the interviews. I found the interview with Jamila Dawson to be particularly illuminating. I'm a white cis guy who's pretty comfortably on the vanilla side, but as an odd duck and an LGBT advocate, I've always felt I've kept abreast of atypical sexuality. However, that interview gave me new clarity on what kink means. Keep up the good work!
