When Funeral Homes Met Reality TV: The Unraveling

Ab heute bin ich nicht nur Ersthelfer in sondern auch Letzthelferin. #LetzteHilfe #deathPositivity #MementoMoriMONDAY

My mom's husband is in the final stages of ALS. It's so cruel. At my age I know a lot of people who are dead now, some of whom were younger when they died than I am now. We're all going to die someday, no getting around it. Contrary to our cultural norms, it's good to think about that. And I promise you, death is NOT the worst thing that can happen to you. Often it's a kindness.

It’s International Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ The day is meant to recognize the existence and accomplishments of our trans community and bring attention to the violence, discrimination, and erosion of rights they’re suffering.

I want to remind people that rights need to be preserved in death as well as in life.

When a transgender or nonbinary person needs medical care, end of life care, and death care, it’s often left to their next of kin to make important decisions. What happens if the legal next of kin isn’t supportive or accepting?

It’s crucial to think about uncomfortable scenarios like this and organize legal documentation before it’s needed. A person can record their decisions and legally bypass family members in the next of kin chain. They can assign next of kin rights to someone who will respect their wishes and honor them properly, from using the correct name and pronouns to providing the preferred clothing and accessories.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Went back to twitter, had a libertarian telling me that firing the disability team was just "team management of a company that is in the red", saw a post of a #deathpositivity scholar considering quitting the app because of the harassment, went back to mastodon
The way I explained the meaning of #deathpositive and #deathpositivity to my sister in French made her giggle. I said "it doesn't mean that you want to die" so awkward 😭

To help make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
