Palestinians in Gaza are being violently starved by the governments and corporations of the countries in which we reside, in a continuing genocide.
Those of us in the Imperial Core must rattle the very system we are within.
End the siege.
End the occupation.
LandBack.
End Empire.
Free Palestine.

Have you seen a wind phone before? Wind phones are dedicated spaces for grief that feature an unconnected phone, typically in a booth or desk, so that grievers can speak into it and ‘reach’ their lost loved ones.

While individual funeral homes can require embalming if you want to use their services, there is no state or federal law requiring it. Unless the cause of death was something highly contagious, unembalmed bodies don't cause disease. There's really no reason to embalm unless you want to! #deathsky

One of the most FAQ we get is "What's the first thing you should do when someone dies?" (after an expected or natural causes death). You may be surprised by death care practitioner and educator Sarah Kerr's answer, "Nothing."

Less than a decade ago Indiana legislators ran a campaign of fear and misinformation to block a bill legalizing aquamation, a green alternative to cremation. Yesterday, it was approved by a vote of 70-17.
