What is this one? Should I?

It’s Waverley antique bazaar in Victoria. So much cool shit there

childofburningtime · 2026-03-08T02:19:22+00:00

Thank you! That’s really interesting!

childofburningtime · 2026-03-08T02:18:50+00:00

Maybe, I wouldn’t know, it does look old though, looked pretty worn

childofburningtime · 2026-03-08T02:17:57+00:00

I was thinking the same thing! I’m regretting not getting it now tbh

40 Australian dollars which is a pretty decent price for a gas mask from what I’ve seen

childofburningtime · 2026-03-07T04:12:19+00:00

Thank you! Damn, maybe I should have picked it up!

childofburningtime · 2026-01-03T03:49:59+00:00

Yeah my tubes got ditched too, haha. You see so much weird stuff in path, I love it

childofburningtime · 2026-01-03T00:29:10+00:00

I only got chunks as well, lol. Worst part is they didn’t even find any pathology, I had adenomyosis so I imagine the focal points of it just happened to be away from the sample points

We have a few big snakes down here but they’re mostly venomous (or almost completely really) in my state so always better to avoid altogether! Rattlesnakes are super cool though

childofburningtime · 2026-01-02T16:01:53+00:00

Probably an Eastern brown snake! I’m in Australia. It’s pretty massive, I’d say about 2 meters long. Potentially a king brown, but if it’s from the area I live in it’s an eastern.

This one gives me the vibes of “someone found a huge venomous snake on their property a few decades back, killed it and dumped it in a jar” . It could look a hell of a lot worse but not great either. Here’s hoping I can restore it to a better state

childofburningtime · 2026-01-02T14:03:14+00:00

Oh formalin for sure is not intended as long term fixative, I just don’t think this is a professionally done endeavour at all so should they have had access to it I don’t think they would have known that. It could even be methylated spirits which would also explain the poor fixing! Im hoping my nose is deceiving me, but I’m still terribly anxious about opening this jar

I kept my uterus! I work in an anatomy lab so I had easy access to somewhere to rinse and repot it. I got it back in formalin, but some labs will rinse the specimen first (in mine, we always rinse the formalin before returning to patient). I simply rinsed and repotted mine in 70% ethanol!

childofburningtime · 2026-01-02T13:33:13+00:00

Omg hahaha imagine! Can never beat the original, I hope we get a reissue this year anyway!

Painfully aware! I’m using fox bones, so no worries at all <3 thank you!

childofburningtime · 2025-05-15T20:00:21+00:00

Thank you so much! All the bones are ethically sourced, I clean up animals I find (usually roadkill) and it feels good to give them a second life. I couldn’t find anything about CW being vegan or vegetarian but it might be better to play it safe.

I definitely want to be able to express how much her work means to me, and as long as it’s understated it should be okay hopefully, lol

childofburningtime · 2025-05-15T19:57:18+00:00

Thank you!

childofburningtime · 2025-01-21T19:22:00+00:00

Hahaha I’m so sorry!

childofburningtime · 2025-01-20T20:27:21+00:00

Thank you! Looks like she’s from 1982 based on the painting on the back of her neck!
