Death & Sodomy in San Francisco
I can't even recall how I Googled my way onto this book review - by a psychiatrist, of a pathologist's published work
Many original contributions to forensic medicine were made by physicians associated with the Coroner's Office and UCSF, including the "most unique" discovery that death by air embolism could occur with cunnilingus when air was blown into the vagina.
Was that an important move back in the day? Yikes.
Needless to say, I'm trying to get my twisted little hands on this gem of a book as I type. If anyone has seen it, please hit the comments.
It looks like Amazon only has links to used copies of the book: San Francisco Coroner's Office: A History, 1850-1980
The New Beauty Bar
Some say Beauty Bar is super-douchey and should be shunned. I live equidistant between it and Bender's, and I have to say that the nights I've chosen Beauty have never been disappointing - rowdy, cheesy, caveman fun. I look forward to seeing how the remodeling turns out.
Opposite Ends of the Mobility Spectrum
Street photography this stunning and powerful is too rare. The ideal combination of subject, setting, perspective, and of course, timing.
Here I see so many things besides the obvious: purpose, ambition, and perhaps mostly, the continuum of life. Photography has done for me what years of meditation practice couldn’t. It makes me aware of the world.
Submitted: Pet Cemetery in the Presidio
Christopher says:
There's a great little pet cemetery in the Presidio @ McDowell and Crissy Field Avenues. It would be great if more people knew and cared about this little treasure.
UPDATE: Sadly, it looks as if this spot has been largely ruined, as commenters have pointed out:
