I did not misspell 'critical' in that subheadline. The D&D streaming show Science & Sorcery has teamed up with the UK's Vagina Museum to host a money-raising one shot—titled Clitical Hit—to help promote the museum's mission statement of raising awareness regarding «gynaecological anatomy and health».
