death
rip judith krug
Judith Krug, Librarian Superhero, passed away on Saturday. Per the Times Obit, she fought against banned books since the 1960s, defending the public’s right to read and access “Huckleberry Finn,†“Mein Kampf,†“Little Black Sambo,†“Catcher in the Rye,” and sex manuals. More recently, she fought against restricting children’s access to the internet.
Thank you, Judith Krug. We are sure you will be missed.

Another plug for Morbid Anatomy–this post has some of our favorite images, truly grotesque and creeptastic. Anatomical Waxes at the Vienna Museum of Natural History, which appear to be on loan from Das Josephinum in Vienna.
Long…
they don’t love you like i love you
In keeping with International Anatomy, Medicine, and Death Museum Day, we present an internet weblink to A Short History of Anatomical Maps. We hope these memento mori will help you remember to enjoy life before it sputters out.
belatedly, morbidly yours
We’ve been meaning to write about one of our favorite blogs, Morbid Anatomy, for some time now. Last night, our roommate came home and couldn’t stop talking about this amazing event at a new space just down the street in Gowanus, hosted by Morbid Anatomy, and we were like what WHAT WHATWHAT!?!
In honor of Morbid Anatomy, we are dubbing today International Anatomy, Medicine & Death Musuem Day. Follow up posts to follow (up)!
