You lost your keys again?

A pretty gnarly thing is they got the jaw of St. Anthony of Padua as a relic, and the reliquary goes hard af.

So I had this idea and I drew it as fast as I could

This would not be the weirdest thing a body did at my workplace.

Does rolling corpses from one side to the other count?

do you workout?

It's not a specifically functioning, discrete and indivisible... well, body inside your body, so one could argue it's not an organ. It does qualify as tissue, though, and connective tissue at that.

Then again, there are many glands that piggyback on other organs and can be sometimes encountered to ectopically, and nobody questions the fact that they blur the lines on whether they are part of the actual organ or something else entirely.

Also, you can lose a good part of it and still fully recover, just as you can grow back half a liver, survive with half a functional kidney or adapt to life with a massive manmade hole in your cerebrum - all of which are organs according to the above definition, and yet are malleable enough to accommodate for losses.

So, speaking from practice rather than philosophy

I don't know.

Does blood count as an organ?

interesting philosophical question

the answer is I don't know

I sometimes have to literally soak my hands in toxic chemicals and rot. If we didn't have some pretty nonstandard equipment I'd be ruining my spine and joints by hoisting stuff weighing as much as a full-sized person. I'm always at risk of hazardous fume inhalation.

I'm selling my body as much as any other working person. Just different parts of it, and with different connotations.

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also selling my body at every other job i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, working in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex work is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise

They should invent a new kind of body that doesn't do that

Full of wax and larvae? Sounds like something I've worked with.

Unpreserved, fresh brain has the consistency of flan. If you enjoy fresh brains as a comfort food and you partake in adequately comfy conditions, grateful for the brain's donor for the lovely late night snack, I think that counts as cozy.

my agent is really into cozy literature, so I was trying to keep that in mind for this new thing, but unfortunately the main character is a ghoul and in chapter 3 there is a graphic and extended scene where he eats someone's brain.

eating brains can be cozy, though! right?

Me, when a glove breaks while I'm elbows-deep in a cadaver: *mental shrug* Nothing a formaldehyde soak and a good scrub won't fix

Also me, when a student exits the toilets without washing their hands: You bring shame to the profession. You should be immediately expelled. Lister is turning in his grave.
