Been coding since 2007, a bit of a cyborg (mechanical vibes), and a total IT nerd.
Love Debian, tech gadgets, and digging into medicine. Learning German (B1, pushing for B2) and would love to chat with German-speaking folks.
Excited to meet new people, share ideas, and talk tech, art, or life’s mysteries.

My fanless homelab is my pride: running Monica, PiHole, WireGuard, and LiveSync.
Recently changed jobs, and now I'm diving deep into DevOps, especially Kubernetes. I'll post about my journey, from epic wins to total fails.
Also hooked on moody, melancholic art and exploring death studies - fascinated by the big questions.

The sudden death of Sinead O'Connor left me wondering about the people who rush onto sites such as Wiki to update the page with details of the deaths of the famous. Who are these people? Why do they do it? I am interested in death studies, but wonder about such people. I feel that there is something close to ambulance chasing about what they do.

CW: #AcaWriMo notes post #VirtualAfterlives
#AcaWriMo accountability post 12 (16 Nov.).
In her monograph /Virtual #Afterlives: Grieving the Death in the C21st/, Candi K. Cann explores the present uses of #VirtualSpaces for #mourning and #grief in the contemporary US, with some comparative attention to other world cultures. The brief argument Cann presents in her preface suggests "that [in the US] memorialization has increased so much because death itself is disappearing" (para. 3).
Her introduction contextualizes these present practices as the culmination of several historo-cultural processes in the US over the last 150 years. The Industrial Revolution and the American Civil War are key drivers. The first created the conditions of specialization of labor and population density in cities that contributed to the rise of the funeral home and mortuary industries (para. 2). The latter created the conditions for embalming to become a standard practice for all bodies (para. 3).
Cann then goes on to offer an extended discussion of #BereavementLeave policies, highlighting that the US has no federal laws or mandates that govern what companies offer to their employees. The federal government's #bereavement policies for their own employees are among the most generous in the US, but they have not trickled out into the private sector.
These policies influence both for whom we are able to grieve by enumerating particular relationships and degrees of kinship and for how long by limiting the time off (with or without pay) and requiring evidence in the form of a death certificate or obituary.
[side note]: One thing Cann doesn't mention is that it takes time to get a death certificate. In the case of my late husband, it was about a week after the funeral, so about 10 days after the death. Had anyone needed it for bereavement leave, it would not have been available to them.
Back to Cann--These limitations on the practices of #mourning and the processing of grief have a created a situation in which US society does not have a common framework for mourning, in contrast to the mid C19th when mourning clothes, armbands, ribbons identified the grieving and people withdrew from social life and work for an expected period of time.
Published in 2014, this book does not, of course, address our current pandemic or geopolitical situations, but I think it highlights the lack of memorialization we're seeing of the COVID dead, the climate change dead, and the armed conflict dead.
