Sally Mann, “Body Farm” c. 2000

University of Tennessee’s anthropological facility at Knoxville, a.k.a. the “body farm”, where donated cadavers are left to decompose in an outdoor setting for scientific study.

So for some reason my university tapped me, a botanist, to teach a human anatomy lab this summer. So far it's not been terrible but it makes me want to work out more so I can leave a good cadaver that's easy to dissect. I want a good grade in being cadaver, a totally normal and achievable goal.

Hey, gore enthusiasts, hi-

This may make no sense, but I'll ask

Is there anybody else out there who sees gore and the (dead) human body not (only) as a horror subject or as a medical thing but like- as a thing to talk and think about or to cut and touch and play with?

I mean- does anyone else feel the human body as work material? Does anyone else want to have dead bodies to do whatever you want? Explore them, make experiments, study them, make art with them, play with them, dance with them (even taste them, but not the central point), I don't know...

I'd just like to find someone who likes the human body but isn't a necrophile or a person who's interested only to help others (OF COURSE the second one is a totally super noble thing and I watch for it too, but not exactly what I'm talking about)

I mean I have a friend who might think very much like me, and that means A LOT, but I'd really like to know if there's more people like me or us out there, somewhere -c-

Anyway, bye...

Got out of anatomy class and was curious

-Discussing embalming with my 15 year old niece- Niece: If they take all the blood out the body then is it still heavy? Me: Well they're replacing it with embalming fluid so it's not going to make much difference and the blood isn't what makes a body heavy anyways Niece: O_o then what makes it heavy? Me: *without hesitation* the meat Niece:
