Interested in all things end-of-life, human and non. Donuts, books, and being outdoors are all pretty nifty too!

Humbled as an end of life scholar to be learning so much about funerary and disposal customs in this book, and I'm still in the INTRODUCTION. So grateful for this kind of scholarship.

Nice to see awareness about end-of-life doulas being promoted by the BBC (and to be quoted). #EOLD www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What death doulas can teach us about dying
Death doulas or soul midwives have increased in popularity in recent years. What do they do?

Marian is interested in a range of issues relevant to 21st century innovations in end-of-life care, including end-of-life doulas. Her research also encompasses innovative approaches to suffering at the end of life, the concept of total pain, and environmental grief. 2/2 #EOLDIRG #EOLD #research

@shelbinahwilet.bsky.social your last slide in your talk with @cendeathsociety.bsky.social was a fabulous and significant insight about denial of death, colonial legacy, and the desire to create ontological homelessness which is still operating today. So good. Thank you!

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

A bit sad, or at least a first world problem, that I don't quite know how to procrastinate/take a brain break for 5 minutes without looking at Facebook (no longer on it) when I'm between work tasks. My RRS newfeed just feaks me out then makes me lethargic. Online distraction recommendations?
