i skinned a cat for the first time today and it was so cool, i've never gotten the chance to skin anything big before !! i'm kind of sad that i accidentally threw away the heart bc i was gonna try to preserve it but oh well.

"Before she even touched me, I realized what would happen. It was as if I'd known this for years, that I knew the secret to the reason I'd never approached anything remotely resembling sex: it would take me back to something I didn't want, a memory that had hovered for years, hidden, in my head."

"And maybe I was coping awfully well, I don’t know. Certainly I wasn’t howling aloud or punching my fist through windows or doing any of the things I imagined people might do who felt as I did. But sometimes, unexpectedly, grief pounded over me in waves that left me gasping; and when the waves washed back, I found myself looking out over a brackish wreck which was illumined in a light so lucid, so heartsick and empty, that I could hardly remember that the world had ever been anything but dead."

"Worse: the thought of returning to any kind of normal routine seemed disloyal, wrong. It kept being a shock every time I remembered it, a fresh slap: she was gone. Every new event—everything I did for the rest of my life—would only separate us more and more: days she was no longer a part of, an ever-growing distance between us. Every single day for the rest of my life, she would only be further away."

"I missed her so much I wanted to die: a hard, physical longing, like a craving for air underwater. Lying awake, I tried to recall all my best memories of her—to freeze her in my mind so I wouldn’t forget her"

genuinely i don't think a man could ever experience or appreciate what female family members experience when they're together .

i hate dealing with bloated bodies

i'm not bothered by the gore of roadkill, maggots, or eaten eyes but picking up an animal that's already bloated makes me feel so gross like the feeling of it is so horrible to me

also it makes me feel like i'm gonna pop it or something.

This is my boy Bartholomew. He gets his own special post because he deserves it.

that's so cool

i dug up the roadkill cat a little early and i can do water maceration now that there's less grossness so the smell won't reach my neighbors yayy

from what i've been able to see, the skull is shattered but there's at least one half of the jaw with teeth on it, also good vertebrae which i'm happy abt bc vertebrae are my favorite bones rn! when i have them all cleaned up i can take pics of my cat vertebrae with my small bird vertebrae

the 2nd cat (non-roadkill) is gonna take a while to decompose but at least i have a dove decomposing that will be done soon, the dove is the third bird i've got and i'm excited bc it's the biggest bird so far; my first two birds were really small and one was so small that i lost most of it's bones in the processing of them =[

how does my brain come up with the worst most nauseating and distressing dreams why can't i have normal bad dreams like ooh what if a guy wanted to kill me…

i don't want to experience doing horrible things or seeing the worst (and weirdly creative) things imaginable happen to me or my family, also i really don't want to be forced to eat my own brain or drown in vomitblood or be trapped in a rotting animal

the human mind is prone to catastrophizing when left unoccupied. And that’s why it’s important to always have a little Blorbo to rotate in your head. It acts as a protective charm of sorts to redirect your imagination away from harmful spirals

thoughts without Blorbo: oh my god I was so cringe in seventh grade why did I do that

thoughts with Blorbo: I haven’t considered the interactions with bleebus; I must rectify this immediately

[acetrashgremlin]

ooo are you gonna tan it?

[wormviscera]

i was really just practicing because i'm still pretty new to it all so i wasn't prepared to do anything with things other than the bones.. and i live with people who don't want me keeping my stuff frozen so i always have to work quickly </3

I GOT ANOTHER DEAD CAT TODAY!11!1

this time it's not roadkill, so it's in perfect conditionnnn i'm so excited

and it's full grown this time! i'm real excited for the skull especially.

someone offhandedly mentioned seeing a dead cat in some field so of course i went to find it in the dark.

will i be able to do something with the heart this time??

i'm skinning it tmw so i guess we will see

Tragic. last night I wasn't able to freeze it so it had plenty of time to keep getting gross. I couldn't cut into it because the smell was so strong that it would bother everyone in the vicinity. i had to just burry it, oh well, the bones will be exciting enough.
