  4. The funeral I was at this morning was a humanist one. The best type of funeral!

    It had three of the deceased’s favourite songs as part of the celebration. It got me thinking about the songs I’d get played at mine when I shuffle. They would be:

    ‘39 by Queen.
    Army Dreamers by Kate Bush.
    Space is Deep by Hawkwind.

    With the Declaration of Principles from Babylon 5, as articulated by G’Kar, as the reading.

    “The Iran I Wasn’t Prepared to Meet: The seed that we carry with us. That's how propaganda works”

    by Liz-Loh Taylor in Immersive Journalusm, Unflinching Stories on Substack

    “This essay is not an attempt to prove that everything said about Iran is false. It is not a defence of every institution, every policy or every political leader. It is about what happens when a country refuses to resemble the version you have been taught.

    I arrived believing I had already questioned the stories I had inherited.

    I had travelled to Iran expecting to challenge Western narratives.
    I had not expected to challenge my own.

    By the time I left Iran, I understood that unlearning was not simply a matter of rejecting the stories imposed upon us. It also meant confronting the traces they had left behind”

  10. 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.

  19. Hoping someone can help me with this weird thing…

    At a service or celebration of life, there might be a table where people can leave cards/condolences for the family. What would be a good way to word a simple sign so folks know where to drop off such things?

  29. A quotation from Propertius

    There are ghosts after all, then; death is not the ending:
    the soul, like smoke, escapes from the funeral flame.
     
    [Sunt aliquid Manes: letum non omnia finit,
    Luridaque evictos effugit umbra rogos.]

    Propertius (50-16 BC) Roman elegiac poet [Sextus Propertius]
    Elegies, Book 4, Elegy 7, l. 1ff (4.7.1-2) [tr. Carrier (1963)]

    The funeral of Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei was more than a national farewell.

    The sea of mourners in Tehran sent a message to the #US & #Israel that their attempt ​to break the Islamic Republic had failed.

    Rather than looking weakened by the #war, Iran presented itself as defiant, unified & determined ‌to shape what comes next.

  36. Extremely Interesting article in Middle East Eye about the funeral currently going on in Iran.

    The Quran recitations after each of the over 30 attending delegations paid their respects tell a lot about how they are individually seen by the Iranian leadership. Even the Saudis turned up.

    The news article decodes the reasoning behind the selected verses.

  39. My wife's passion project, advocating for human composting, is hitting the big time this week after an article in the Sun-Herald on the weekend.

    Her phone has been ringing off the hook with various media looking for more and she's been on local radio and now on the ABC.

    I'm very excited for her and proud of her.
