Three students were tragically killed today in a mass shooting in Colorado. My sincere sympathies go out to everyone traumatized by this violence. Anyone commenting on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk today should also publicly acknowledge and grieve for these families.

My Parents Are Dead: What Now? @deadparentswhatnow.com · 23/07/2025
I'm not one of those anti-medication girlies—if you have a loved one in #hospice, you should work with their team to make sure they're getting the meds they need to keep them comfortable. But there are lots of other ways you can increase their comfort without medical help! #deathpositive #endoflife
On a light gray background evenly spaced with Escher-like cubes, black, green, and gray text reads: Not a doctor? Here are some ways to help a dying loved one without paying for medical school. Cold to the touch/mottled skin - Warm blankets fresh from the dryer. Hallucinations/visions - Calmly validate what they see. Trouble swallowing - Swab mouth with wet sponge and apply lip balm. Secretions in lungs/death rattle - Gently reposition head to one side. Below all this is the logo for My Parents Are Dead, What Now? A cartoon skull with black heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon.
