  1. 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.

  2. 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."

  7. 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

  10. It Worked! (t)

    Suzie and Lyle downloaded a bunch of free witch spells from the internet. They had tried about six of them with minimal success. The seventh spell, Heads Off, was a different story, which, unfortunately, neither Suzie nor Lyle will be able to tell.

  14. Today's #PhotoOfTheDay pays a visit to a cemetery but not just any cemetery, today we visit Cementerio de la Recoleta in Buenos Aires. Famous as the resting place for Eva Perón but full of interesting tombs and fascinating stories. One of which is the tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak, who died in an avalanche in Austria in 1970. In front of her tomb is a statue of her and her dog, Sabú. Maybe rubbing Sabú's nose is good luck.
