En tant qu'👨🦼 il y a l'épuisement incessant de chercher si un événement public sera dans un lieu access', ou bien pour d'autres personnes handies d'autres formes d'in/accessibilité (les camarades sourd-es dont l'interprétariat LSF est très rare, etc).
Désormais il y a la double peine de savoir si l'événement sera avec des mesures d'#AutodéfenseSanitaire virale engagées. Ce qui n'est quasi jamais le cas.La semaine prochaine à #Grenoble il y a un festival de 3j autour de la mort #DeathPositive, qui m'intéresse fort. Sauf qu'une fois de plus je n'y vais pas car l'événement sera, comme partout, démasqué. Étonnamment, pas envie de choper la mort par #COVID. 🙄

If you're death positive and have studied the process of dying and grief, there's nothing new here, but I still found this worthwhile.

“Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I’ve made
the final sacrifice”Florence + the Machine, Rabbit Heart
This is another painting about mental health.
You will often see dead or sleeping (mostly dead…) rabbits in my paintings. They carry a meaning of sadness, regret and sacrifice.
However, they also carry the idea of returning to the Earth after death, which is what I ideally would like to be done with my body. -
ART MACABRE ☠️ En septembre, j’ai participé au XXe congrès international de Danses Macabres d’Europe, association de recherche sur l’art macabre européen que j’ai rejointe en début d’année.
J’ai aussi publié une analyse comparative des boîtes à crâne en #Bretagne et en #Lorraine dans leur bulletin, et donné une conférence sur les boîtes à crâne bretonnes depuis le cimetière de Saint-Fiacre. 🥰

After a fascinating and thought-provoking day of presentations which used the prompt "Rethinking end of life doulas and..." at Douglas College in New Westminster BC, I have a weekend to grapple with my jetlag before diving into our symposium work with the International End of Life Doula Research Group. Thank you to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada and Douglas College (which has a terrific training program for EOLDs, including First Nations people and cultural needs).
Including representatives from the four countries where EOLDs are most strongly represented (Australia -me! - Canada, UK and USA), this upcoming week will explore research options and ideas for the next year or two.
I suspect a truckload of grant writing is in my future!
Stay tuned for updates and have a great day. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

🦇 Hey all you bat fans! It’s International Bat Appreciation Day. Besides symbolizing death and rebirth, they also do us a solid by eating the worst creatures on earth (mosquitoes) and helping other pollinators like bees and butterflies. They’re not horrible! They’re vital for maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Plus they’re goth AF, in case that’s why you’re here. 🦇

“Lest we forget,
a morgue is also a community center.”- Ocean Vuong, Time Is a Mother
(From a DVAN book review: “In his sophomore poetry collection, Time is a Mother, Ocean Vuong meditates on how we think about death as individuals and as a community, and how we shoulder the weight of intergenerational trauma. Vuong reframes death and mourning as lonely processes into something communal.”)

#AmReading: All the Living and the Dead:
From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Life's Work
By Hayley Campbell
Real talk: I was hesitant when I first saw this book because I knew it had the potential to sensationalize or demonize the funeral profession. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Hayley interviewed exceptional people and portrayed them accurately. Phew!
She didn’t shy away from the graphic nature of each person’s occupation, but she also kept it within a professional context. I appreciate her efforts to shine a light on the workers people prefer to ignore and prove that we’re compassionate and empathetic rather than a flock of vultures (fun fact: it’s actually called a “wake” of vultures).
As a funeral director and embalmer, I highly recommend this book. Everyone ought to know a bit about what happens behind closed doors before passing a broad judgement based on stereotypes.
FYI, this book covers the duties of workers in the USA and UK. Practices and laws vary by location. Here’s the book’s blurb:
“A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people―morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners―who work in it and what led them there.
We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?
Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.”

We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?
Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.”

#AmReading: All the Living and the Dead:
From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Life's Work
By Hayley Campbell
Real talk: I was hesitant when I first saw this book because I knew it had the potential to sensationalize or demonize the funeral profession. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Hayley interviewed exceptional people and portrayed them accurately. Phew!
She didn’t shy away from the graphic nature of each person’s occupation, but she also kept it within a professional context. I appreciate her efforts to shine a light on the workers people prefer to ignore and prove that we’re compassionate and empathetic rather than a flock of vultures (fun fact: it’s actually called a “wake” of vultures).
As a funeral director and embalmer, I highly recommend this book. Everyone ought to know a bit about what happens behind closed doors before passing a broad judgement based on stereotypes.
FYI, this book covers the duties of workers in the USA and UK. Practices and laws vary by location. Here’s the book’s blurb:
“A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people―morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners―who work in it and what led them there.

Yes. Yes, you should bring pants.
Just because a casket lid is usually closed on the foot end doesn’t mean you can’t see or that nosy people won’t poke around and look. Also, think about how embarrassing it’ll be for your loved one as they attend ghost parties with no bottoms. Shameful.
On that note, there are no requirement about what dead people have to wear in their caskets. You want to be dressed in a suit? Fine. Pajamas? That’s okay too. Superhero costume? You do you! All we ask is that it fits reasonably well (though we can improvise with a few alterations) and that it covers anything that needs covering (autopsy incision, trauma etc). When in doubt, go for something long sleeved and high necked. Make your wishes known to your family!
