A quotation from Thoreau

Others, craven-hearted, said disparagingly, that “he threw his life away,” because he resisted the government. Which way have they thrown their lives, pray? — such as would praise a man for attacking singly an ordinary band of thieves or murderers.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1859-10-30), “A Plea for Captain John Brown,” Concord, Massachusetts

Holy crap, Georgia just legalized NOR ("natural organic reduction" aka human composting)! I never would have had that on my 2025 bingo card. I fully expected the Southern states to do it dead last.

(Pun wasn't originally intended, but then I recognized it, and intentionally left it!)

A quotation from Achebe, Chinua:

«
In such a regime, I say, you died a good death if your life had inspired someone to come forward and shoot your murderer in the chest — without asking to be paid.

One Tech Tip: How to prepare your online accounts for when you die

Most people have accumulated a pile of data on their social media and digital accounts over their lifetimes. What happens to those selfies, emails, videos and other files when we die? Apple users can nominate a “legacy contact” who can access your account’s data after you die. Google users can share their data with someone if their account becomes inactive. Facebook, Instagram and TikTok let people request that accounts of deceased users be turned into memorial accounts, which means no one can log in or make posts but friends and family can still honor their memories.

I hope everyone over the age of 18 has a will and has shared their #LastWishes #AdvanceDirectives #LivingWill

There's a wonderful free blue booklet people can fill out called the Five Wishes.

Versions legal in every state. It asks good questions about all aspects of what one would want if they were dying. #GoodDeath
