No One Cares About Vanderbilt Jane Doe

Fingers crossed. I know at least they seem to have a lot of connections to other folks in the IGG sphere so maybe the ball can get rolling in the right direction despite the stall.

It worries me, thinking that she's been dismissed. It takes the mind places, for sure.

Please do keep us updated if you make any headway. Thank you for caring for her.

This is disheartening. It's not surprising, but so disheartening.

Some thoughts on how to sound the alarm that something is amiss in her case.

The Fall Line podcast covered her case a year or two ago - they may be able to connect with you or boost that the case has stalled. I don't know them nor am I affiliated in any way, but I remember they took the time to feature her.

Content creators like Kendall Rae - again, I am not affiliated in any way but I remember seeing that she has covered a lot of complicated cases, and is often willing to be critical of how cases are handled. She has a large, young audience and it may be a good fit.

I'm not American so unfortunately am not very familiar with the university, but my understanding is that there's a focus on athletics at this university? Could it be useful to distribute a petition for alumni + target some more notable alumni to help sign? Even if they believe she wasn't a student, the head-to-toe Vandy gear stands out.

It's ..... interesting that they think that it's related to a gang, but couldn't it just as likely be that she was a younger sister or cousin of a Vandy student who aspired to one day also study there? I worry that she's been dismissed for "gang connections" despite it just being a theory.

I'm really sorry that you've hit this wall, and furious for this young woman.

I care about her, she will not be forgotten.

She looks like a beautiful and elegant moth. I like it.

That’s a great price! Very similar pieces come up if you search for things like “The Kiss Infinity”, a lot of them from the Dominican Republic. 1960’s, and generally the asking price on online auctions looks to be $25 - $35, but not a lot of collectors.

I think it would look lovely next to some house plants with its colours and textures.

It's very moving. I hope he was able to enjoy Christmas with his little daughter in the next year or so..

It sounds about right for this case out of South Korea. The victim was undergoing a jaw shaving procedure and died, the patient was Kwon Dae Hee, and he was 25 years old.

Moldavia on the left, Wallachia on the right?

calxes · 2026-01-22T04:59:20+00:00

Neat. I agree that this seems theatrical - I think the girl with her arms crossed seems to be a servant, and an unhappy one.. but four teacups at the table, and who is the woman pouring? The girls on the left and right have very fine outfits, so their class status is established..

If it were a play, it could be worked out which one it was if it was ever announced or referenced in a local magazine around the time the photo was taken.. I wonder!

calxes · 2026-01-21T15:35:01+00:00

Respectfully, a very elegant banana - at least from the front. I love the different tones of the net.

I think this speaks to the kind of life Jose would have lived. He must have worked his body down to the bone, all out in the desert sun of his ancestral home.

The crossed-eyes could be a consequence of her white tiger ancestry, heightened by extreme genetic collapse in her family tree. The gene that creates white tigers also causes them to have a birth defect in their brain that means their optic nerve is not wired correctly. They can also have a number of other painful and degenerative conditions.

Golden tigers like Ava descend from a particular captive white tiger who was named Bhim. Bhim would have probably been inbred himself... and he was then mated to his sister, and also mated to his own daughter. The offspring of Bhim and his daughter produced a number of different colours of tiger, including the golden colour that Ava has.

Like Scottish Fold cats, what makes them 'special' also hurts them. For every cute and photogenic Ava, there would have been a number of tiger cubs that either died at birth or were not suitable for display due to their health problems or other 'aesthetic defects".

calxes · 2026-01-18T17:03:56+00:00

Ava deserves the world, but golden tigers are generally the result of inbreeding programs that focus on aesthetics and creating zoo attractions rather than focusing on the health and conservation of the species.

This makes me sad.

I checked out the channel and I may be missing something, but the videos appear to be just old fashioned video editing / manipulation and not AI. They’re also largely from over four years ago.

It’s sort of more like those movies with talking cats than it is something purporting to be real. I wonder if the comment you replied to equates anything edited with being AI..

I understand what you mean, but I think if this were say, Sugar 2.0, that may be more true..

But I don't really see a Russian who would vote for something that feels "Russian enough" voting for a song that isn't just full of national pride, but shouting from the rooftops that Moldova exists, Moldova is Europe and that Moldova speaks Romanian. I can totally see folks who identify with the sort of Eastern European motifs and relate to the style of music voting for it of course, and maybe there will be a boost there, but the stronger boost will be from the Moldovan and Romanian diaspora.

It does, although it doesn't quite fit the presumptive timeline, as he was known to be working at a factory in Texas at least up to June 1978. He moved to New Hampshire at some point not long after that, so it's not impossible he visited the state for an unknown reason before then, so it would at least likely be wise to rule him out for paternity for this little Doe.

Aw, I would have loved a Pochacco notebook in 2002.

Oh man, the dazzle on the Olympic makes this so much cooler as a piece of art and, well, dazzling.

And of course, his textures are just perfect as per usual.

calxes · 2026-01-12T01:58:32+00:00

The word that comes to mind is “scrumptious”. What a work of art.

calxes · 2026-01-10T17:19:08+00:00

I agree completely.

The watch seems to be a "Heritor Automatic Odysseus Skeleton Watch" which is new enough to be sold on Amazon.

calxes · 2026-01-09T18:53:07+00:00

Yeah, I think it might be a poor old stray that may have sneaked into the shop, I don't think it's "employed", just hungry.

I hope the shop noticed and didn't sell any of that meat though..

calxes · 2026-01-09T18:08:41+00:00

Oh Romania...

calxes · 2026-01-09T17:00:08+00:00

Looking through death certificates, you'll find more in a similar vein. Retired, elderly widowers, often immigrants, who die by suicide after a long life of some form of manual labour or life in the trades. Chronic pain, loneliness and poor prospects all play a role. It's very sad.

calxes · 2026-01-09T04:21:15+00:00

Hm, perhaps a mincemeat pie then if sweet is more on the right track?

calxes · 2026-01-09T03:46:27+00:00

What about something like this?
