  • I see two ureters running from the kidneys to the bladder, one ureter cut, bladder pushed to right side. Urethra runs from bladder on top of vagina. Some dissection knowledge present.

    Vulva and pubic mound are present, if not terribly well drawn. There may be some influence of vulva as a mouth.

    Ovaries are present as is uterus. Muscular nature of uterus is shown along with fetus.

    Clitoris seems to be missing.

    There are extra pipes all over, with some going to the wrong locations, and things seem to be linked to the liver. The liver being involved is likely due to whatever medical theories were prevalent at the time, humors maybe.

    I would assume that the artist likely took a lot of inspiration from animal entrails.

    Ignorance isn’t the same as stupid. Looks like a lot of thought was put into it. I would view this more as an early map than as an attempt at realism.


  • For a large chunk of my career, I worked in aerospace and ‘defense’ machining. Made all kinds parts for all kinds of weapons, it was really cool! Murica! As I got older, I lost my religion, I lost the far right brainwashing I was raised with.

    My hands were making weapons that the US government was often selling to other countries. My hands were making weapons to kill various groups of brown people all over the world. It really began to bother me.

    I no longer make things to kill people.

    Yes, you are culpable for the effects of what you produce in your profession. A thinking person should consider the effects of their work.


  • I’ve got a bunch of horror stories that take some detail to explain, but I remember a couple moments of shock in particular.

    Was actually a Methodist service, Easter Sunday. it was when they cut a baby lamb’s throat and it bled. It was great special effects with a real lamb but children started crying.

    Also, the time we all went to see Passion of the Christ, 9:00 or 10:00pm showing. There was a mother smacking the shit out of her toddler for crying when the torture started. I’m a different person now and would put a stop to something like that now.
