Planning to close the blog

I've been a tumblrite (on-and-off) for a while — in August, it will have been ten years. That's 40% of my life!

I've had some good memories on this site and owe a lot of my personal development to the ideas and people I've encountered over the years. But as it stands currently I think there's not much left that tumblr can offer me. Plus, I suppose it's selfish of me to sit on this nice fandom url and not do anything with it.

Currently I have 2,758 posts saved in drafts. (I am something like a hoarder. I'll try to clip out the ones that are outdated/irrelevant by now. Apologies if a few slip by.) If I enqueue them to post at a rate of 20 posts/day — plus a smattering of contemporary reblogs/the occasional original post — I'll have the backlog cleared in 4-5 months. That'll be enough time, I think, to decide whether I'm serious. At the end of it I'll have the "complete" blog to download for my own record before it's closed.

Thanks, everyone. I'll miss you.

Inflating a set of cat lungs

Lungs are by most accounts mundane. Everybody has them, few give it much thought. But sequestered within darkness of the chest cavity, enveloping the fluttering heart, there’s a incredible wonder to this oddly inflatable organ.

Dissection is a destructive process. Rudely excised from membranous mooring and nourishing vessels, the deflated lungs appear little more than bloodied meat; amorphous and exposed…….until a breath of air unfurls its secret glory. 

Here, a set of cat lungs is inflated with a straw. Comprised of hundreds of millions of microscopic air sacks called aveoli, Mammalian lungs harbor air capacity that is difficult to believe unless seen. The color of the entire organ lightens into a soft pink, as each microscopic sac fills with air.

A debt of gratitude is owed to cyborgraptor for her assistance in creating these gifs, as well as the students that help me film this demo.

I've always heard you shouldn't make eye contact with animals, and that cats will like the person that ignores them, but that does not apply to Brioche.
