I was recently told by a volunteer at a local "natural" cemetery (bodies are buried with only biodegradable shrouds and/or all wood coffins) that 42-inches is the perfect depth for a grave. Deeper and decomposition is hindered. Shallower and leakage & critters become a problem. I'm not making this up!
Punko’s #Haikoot Thread.
Experiment: Going to post and collect my #Haikoots here, in a thread that I will build upon by responding to this initial post.
I will be reaching back into my collection and reposting #Haiku I am fond of that were flushed with the #TooterRooter as well as new material.
My wife's cousin just died, and the non-religious daughter is having it out with the religious son about whether to honor their mother's verbal wishes expressed to the daughter—cremation + no funeral—vs. a religious funeral.
PSA: Parents, WRITE DOWN YOUR FUNERAL WISHES and make sure your kids know where that document is.
Also, you need a will, a healthcare proxy, and advance directives.
Don't leave behind a mess for your kids to deal with at a terrible time. #death#dying#grief#parenting

Heute würde Chuck #Schuldiner seinen 56. Geburtstag feiern, wenn er denn nicht am 13. Dezember 2001 als Ergebnis des U.S. amerikanischen #Gesundheitssystem|s in die Death Metal All Stars Group abgerufen worden wäre...
When will the Russians realize that they are not welcome in #Ukraine ? and that sooner or later the only thing that awaits the invaders is #injury, #capture or #death ...?
@Lockdownyourlife ... great point about these "legacy" type accounts. I've dealt with this firsthand, and gotta say that while I never expected such accounts to stay around 'forever' it does change things to consider they will likely disappear on a shorter cadence. Had a collegial conversation a few years ago about legacy accounts like POTUS as well, and I suspect this is the true target of this new effort, with regular folks as collateral damage in one way or another. #birdsite#death#infosec
It’s nauseating to hear gun worshiping fetishists blather their “Thoughts & Prayers” bullsh!t, followed by crazy-a$$ed rationalizations.Worse when 2nd amendment touted including and especially guns designed not for hunting game, or even home defense for killing other human beings in the greatest number as fast as possible than to human lives.
Antelmo Ramirez was a dad, grandpa and husband. When he died of hyperthermia while building #Tesla’s Gigafactory, they didn't tell local officials. @gusbova brings us his last hours in this important new investigation into heat deaths on the job: https://www.texasobserver.org/tesla-texas-worker-death-heat/
More on this story:
On a 96-degree day in 2021, Antelmo Ramirez died of hyperthermia while working on #Tesla’s Gigafactory construction site just southeast of #Austin—making him one of 1,306 Texas construction workers to perish between 2011 and 2021, which is more than California and Pennsylvania combined, reports @gusbova: https://www.texasobserver.org/tesla-texas-worker-death-heat/
I have been thinking a lot about how my digital estate should be wrapped-up if the proverbial Number 73 bus comes along (which would be a miracle given the state of Bristol's bus services).
I have started writing an emergency information pack describing:
“The Kiss of Death” from Poblenou Cemetery, Barcelona. An inscription reads: "So his youthful heart is fading. In his veins his blood is freezing, and all strength has slipped away. Faith is leveled as he falls into the arms of Death. Alas!” Photo: Stephan Harmes.
