  1. Human Burial And Dealing With The Undead And Ghosts

    For as long as us humans have been alive, we have had to deal with death, and the fear that the dead may possibly come back to life, or that their spirits may walk the Earth at the point of death. Due to this fear, people have come up with many ways in which to prevent this from happening. Some of these methods involve wrapping ropes, cloth, chains and padlocks around the feet of the deceased in order to prevent them from walking out of their coffin, or laying a scythe on their chest, so if […]

  3. Begging for My Mother: Find A Grave and the Strangers Who Collect Our Dead

    This morning I signed into Find A Grave to update my mother's memorial and discovered that I no longer manage her page. No email warned me. Nothing in my account records the change. Six family memorials, five of them sponsored with my own money in the weeks after my mother died, and my name has been stripped from every one. The site that once made me beg for custody of my own dead has taken that custody back, in silence, and left me to discover the loss the way you discover a missing wallet: by reaching for something that should be there.

  7. Ab und an suche ich mit Brandy auch mal die Abgeschiedenheit eines nahegelegenen, an einen Wald grenzenden parkähnlichen Friedhofs, um etwas Ruhe vom oftmals hektischen Alltag zu finden.

    Bei meinem Rundgang über diesen Friedhof wurde mir der militärische Bezug der Redewendung
    In Reih und Glied bewusst - ein #Fotovorschlag der letzten Tage - und geradezu sichtbar vor Augen geführt. In Reih und Glied.

    So einige unserer Redewendungen, die im Alltag unbewusst Verwendung finden, haben einen militärsprachlichen Ursprung. Seltsam, oder? Sind wir so kriegerisch? Mir gefallen ja so Formulierungen 'wie die Orgelpfeifen' oder 'wie auf einer Perlenkette' besser. Könnt ja mal überlegen . . . aber draußen, an der frischen Luft! Denn heute ist mal wieder ein Bombenwetter!
