So read my pages of the day and where I left off she was talking about seat belts. She doesn't talk about body sizes and the fact that it is mostly if not all male cadavers used. Nothing to even acknowledge this issue.🤨

Quick announcement of some smaller updates -
We have new avatars for levels 3 and 4. Level 3 has two new dragons to choose from, and level 4 has three food-inspired avatars 🥐🌶️🍚
We also have two new feeds on your homepage. You'll see your Main Feed (the normal feed you're used to), a Following feed (just activity from people you follow) and My Books (the feed that is currently on Discuss, this is just posts from books in your library). Many people have been asking for a following feed :)
In your Main feed and My Books feed, you will no longer see posts from TBR books that are marked as spoilers.
We're aware of an intermittent bug on the app when posting in the book forum (from the book page specifically). The feed updates + a bug fix for this is out on iOS, please update your app to see these changes. On Android, we're still awaiting app approval - in the meantime there is a workaround : use the currently reading card on your home feed, which has a "Post to Forum" button, to post rather than going to the book page.

entomologists have a name for young flies, but it is an ugly name, an insult. Let's not use the word "maggot". Let's use a pretty word. Let's use "hacienda"
What.....🙄🙄🙄🙄

She talks about teeth being used for dentures and skin made into wallets...but still no acknowledgment of Black enslaved folks who'd most likely have been used for this. She uses a white person (not any better mind you) as an example but no acknowledgement or discussion further into this. The teeth part would have been perfect time to mention whose teeth Washington had!!!

So in the introduction she acknowledges gender reassignment surgeries.
But in this section, she is talking about her time observing surgeons using heads to practice their skills when it comes to plastic surgeries. She says that although she gets that-whatever her own opinion on it-it is better for their surgeons to have the skills, ya know so they don't botch or kill them (this is me). but in the note, she says this:
I'm a believer in organ and tissue (bone, cartilage, skin) donation but was startled to learn that donated skin that isn't used for, say grafting on burn victims may be process and used cosmetically to plump up wrinkles and aggrandize penises. While I have no preconceived notions of the hereafter, I stand firm in my conviction that it should not take the form of someone else's underpants
Am I reading too much into this, or is she discounting the fact that people who choose to medically transition would benefit from this??

It surprises me to hear that men and women who spend their days pruning eyelids and vacuuming fat would require anything in the way of soothing... What do you mean? Are they not humans themselves??

Why does she always have to compare it good or cooking😭😭

Not that there's anything wrong with just lying around on your back. In it's way, rotting is interesting too, as we will see. It's just that there are other ways to spend your time as a cadaver. Get involved with science. Be an art exhibit. Become part of a tree. Some options for you to think about. Death. It doesn't have to be boring.
Thank you but I'd rather it was.🤨
