Lingophilospher - Staphyblr

Well the first week was a bit hectic to say the least but if I learnt anything it’s probably that my first day was the best day so that means I gotta grind today to make the week easier even though the readings I have to do don’t get any shorter

My day today, in a nutshell

Well...today was eventful.Struggling to write a thematic essay for Literature, juggling humanities and college algebra while doing so. Covering Beyond good and evil leads only to wonder more and more about the expanse complexity of the human mind and history. During the same time period, various ideas flew around in somewhat of a harmony until the breaking point of the twentieth century. Mind you, I was trying to write an essay during that time, so that was torture to do things like that. Afterwards, I realize I’m more forgetful than anything on this planet, forgot to turn in my homework which led me to run for my life to my teacher. By the way it’s her birthday today! Shout out to my calc prof! Love her, honestly. In literature, I failed a multiple choice exam but in calculus, I passed with flying colors! Which is new because since last year I haven’t been able to pick myself off the ground.

Well, as eventful as it was, it made me have new goals for the future, consisting of:

- taking more mc exams for literature so I don’t become trash

- focusing a bit more on literature

- reading and analyzing more profundly while short on time

Seeing my friends I guess made me glad I didn’t stay home, thanks for listening in✌️

Forensic Pathology

Forensic Pathology is the art of examining bodies in order to determine the cause of death. This is usually done during cases where foul play is suspected. There are a lot of postmortem details that can give vital information about the events that took place leading up to the actual homicide. The contents of the stomach, for example, can tell medical examiners not only what the person ate, but where they might have gotten the food (a nearby diner, a specialty food store, etc.). If the food is still relatively intact then it’s obvious that the victim died only minutes after eating.

Marks on the body can indicate anything from domestic abuse to epileptic seizures. If there is blotchy hemorrhaging on the eye, it is safe to assume that the body was face down for some time after death. Similarly, petechial hemorrhaging can occur on the eyes when the airways of the throat are constricted, thus putting an increased amount of pressure on the head and causing capillaries in the eyes to break. An example of petechial hemorrhaging:

Other signs of asphyxia include a bluish skin tone, a broken larynx or windpipe, and marks around the throat that imply a strong grip or a thick piece of rope that might have been used during the strangulation.

Bite marks on bodies are examined by forensic odontologists (dentists) who try to match the shape of the bite marks to those of previous bodies or suspected killers. One of the most famous cases of this was for serial killer Ted Bundy who left these teeth marks on one of his victims:

Medical examiners can also tell you what kind of weapon was used. Was there powder on the body? How widely spread were the bullets and at what distance were the bullets shot? Through reconstructions they can even show the impact of things like meat cleavers and blunt objects against the human skull. They also examine the body to see if the person was sexually assaulted as this can help them discover the motivation for the crime.

Medical examiners are crucial in finding patterns among victims. Some serial killers have even been identified because of the keen eyes of these professionals performing autopsies behind closed doors. The work they do tells us the age of the victim, their weight, why they died, how they died, what they looked like, what kind of life they led, and so much more. Natural death is a slow process, like a spinning coin coming to a gentle tumble and then an eventual stillness. In cases of abrupt, unnatural deaths, it’s up to forensic pathologists to piece together what happened.

Day 2: Explain your URL

Well I had originally started tumblr as a Langblr learning several different languages, I am barely proficient in any of them I am afraid. Lingo means language, philo means love of, and the incorrectly spelled spher meant learning. I high key want to change the bio section of the URL because I’ve had it since ninth grade and god it shows.

Winter studying challenge

December 1st: Do you like winter?

I love the winter! I enjoy the vibes it has from the Starbucks cups to the music in stores to the cold temperatures giving me the opportunity to wear sweaters and pants! I was born in the winter as well so I associate parts of the winter with my birthday. I like winter break over spring break and you can break my nico nico kneecaps over it! I find it so comfortable to consume cold drinks and some ice cream within the winter making it perfect to meet up with some friends whether it would be to study or to horse around. The gif isn’t mine but I also like the festivities in winter and I associate winter massively with Harry Potter which is one of my favorite series that I grew up with. I’ve never seen snow but I like the idea of snow and snow on trees and throwing snowballs even though my hands start to freeze in 60 degrees :’).
