Episode notes
Slimy has a long history of being used to marginalise people. Patricia Highsmith wrote about the snail as a symbol of transgressive female sexuality. She was fascinated by the very elaborate sex life that snails can have for hours going on and that's producing a lot of slime, things like that.
