:nws: in the extreme, shows an opthalmologist trying to treat a botched scleral tattoo. Final treatment was removal of the eye due to, and I quote, "intractable pain":

https://www.aao.org/clinical-video/scleral-tattoo-gone-wrong

I used to do insurance work for an oculoplastic surgeon who did enucleations. Generally people opted for a natural looking prosthesis, but you can get all kinds of weird poo poo custom made. You know a guy who got a scleral tattoo is going to want something fancy.



Lots of sports eyes out there in the world.

Extra curse: there's an ocularist right in my city, but this one woman's insurance tried to send her to another city four hours away to get her prosthesis made, which would have required her to get a hotel room and take a week off work. I had a big fight with them and eventually won, but it took almost a month. I hate medical insurance.

I kind of feel like ophthalmology is cheating because so many people are freaked out by eyes.

I used to work at a hardware store where my manager got a horrible peeling sunburn, and he used a lint roller to try and peel it all off at once. It didn't work very well.

What’s the problem with that image, hugegrossburrito? That looks like cool ancient aquatic animals which was always the part of my fisheries ecology classes that were most fascinating.

Here, have an image of another part, the bobbitt worm.

It’ll bite the gently caress out of anything that comes near, including toes and dicks and fish and whatever. And it has a nasty mandible attack that will cut poo poo off. If one of these is living in a decorative rock that gets put into an aquarium, say goodbye to everything in there.

Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician)and Anna Dhody (Director of the Mutter Museum) discuss the 1918 flu in October 2019, and how poorly equipped we are to handle a mass death event like a pandemic. Specifically, a crematorium takes a long time to cremate a single body, and it has to cool down between each round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH2Laha7llI&t=1s

In return, I bring this mildly :nms: link of a kid who got his finger bit off by a snapping turtle (two pics of finger stump, an xray, and a picture of the turtle). It's amazing how cleanly it was removed but the turtle swallowed it so they couldn't reattach it.

Mine's not quite that bad, but I do have some brain damage especially to broca's area that fucks with my ability to speak to the point where I simply can't in a lot of situations.

there's a *very* short list of people I'm ok with 'prompting', and it changes based on who i'm talking to and what i'm trying to communicate. it's hard to words it really but for me to not be at least annoyed at the person, i have to trust that they know enough about the conversational topic for their guess to be useful, and that i am familiar enough with them to trust them to 'fish around in my head' for a word. I mean hell I even get briefly annoyed at my husband for doing it if i'm trying to talk about something he doesn't know a lot about (he is brilliant, and very very gentle about my speech issue, so this is rare, but.)

e: and yeah, it sucks super bad. when my speech thing tipped over from 'i can do it but it sucks and i don't like to' to 'oh i guess i just can't most of the time now', i got really in my head about it and kinda stopped eating for a few months. Lost a hundred pounds but uh maybe don't use my diet method. It's *incredibly* isolating and alienating. Most people remember enough of sesame street to understand very very basic ASL like 'thank you' but to a whole lot of people, if you don't talk, you just plain don't exist.

So is typing different? Or is it just easier because you can do it at your own pace?

Who's the goon that collected all the weird radioactive stuff?

I remember the mod with the radium water carafe, but didn't we have one that had the glow in the dark dishware that was like radium in leaded glass?

Are you thinking of uranium glass that glows under a blacklight? It's not dangerous. I keep my fruit in a uranium glass bowl.
