#cemetery — Public Fediverse posts

Spent yesterday at Boroondara Cemetery in Kew, Victoria. One of the nicest garden cemeteries I've come across in Australia. The volunteers there do an enormous job keeping it all from being swallowed up by the greenery.

I'm putting this out for any Jews who feel like they don't want to criticize another denomination.

This is bullshit. There is no religious reason to bar suicides from our cemeteries. Not facilitating funerals is your choice, of course, but it's cruel to the living. What's next? Shrimp and tattoos? Meh.

"A landmark letter on #MAID, approved recently by #Toronto’s main #Orthodox #rabbinical council—also called the #VaadHaRabbanim—is sounding the alarm about what the group notes is the increasing prevalence of medically assisted death making “inroads” into the local #Jewish community. Citing the figure of 5,000 patients in #Ontario in 2023 who the council describes as being “#euthanized by medical practitioners”, the leading rabbis said they need to take steps to “curb this disturbing trend”: going forward, they will not officiate at the #funerals of MAID patients and will refuse to permit MAID patients to be buried in plots in their #synagogues’ #cemetery sections."

Kerameikos Cemetery
Al Purdy

So old that only traces of death remain
for death is broken with the broken stones
as if convivial party-goers came
and talked so long to friends they stayed
to hear the night birds call their children home

All over Athens rooster voices wake
the past converses with itself and time
is like a plough that turns up yesterday
I move and all around —: the marketplace
where something tugs my sleeves as I go by

Misty #cemetery on the #Dutch island #Ameland for #SilentSunday.

Belated #3GoodThings
- started a #WikiTree profile for #48er Herman Kiefer, who had the wrong mother stated in most biographies https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Grether-122
- finally got up my butt to photograph the entire #cemetery in #StMärgen, after wanting to do it for three years already, and really found the grave of relatives (I hoped it might still exist)
- got to rescue a bird from a well at the cemetery (see previous toots) - I guess, I was meant to go there exactly yesterday

Sort of #selfPortrait in #QuincyGranite

The spectral form, like Jesus looming out of a piece of toast, is me, taking a #photo of a circa 1.5 meter polished granite sphere in the #MountWollastonCemetery in #Quincy. The largest visible #crystals (#feldspar and #amphibole) are about 1 centimeter across.
