Lovely badges being prepped to travel across the world!
Today we have
"fat & gorgeous"
"shy but friendly"
"gender, schmender"
"your fence is sitting on me".
I make these, and I designed them - but I didn't come up with the "fence" slogan! (see next post for that)

"Your fence is sitting on me"
I don't know for sure who came up with that first, but I can say where I first saw it: in a book "Bisexual Politics: Theories, Queries & Visions", sometimes referred to back in the day as "the purple one". (There weren't so many bi books in 1995 :-) )
It's part of the title of an essay. And the writer, Rebecca Kaplan, attributes the phrase to "the cool bidude wearing this sign on his head at the 1993 March on Washington" :-)
"Your fence is sitting on me" (continued)
Ever since I saw it, I've always really liked that phrase, because as well as just being a snappy answer (to "you're sitting on the fence", usually not a compliment), it's metaphorically spot-on about the existence of the fence! Who said there was even supposed to _be_ a fence there? Not me!
