CW: Understanding, Interacting Transforming = More Transformation...
@MxVerda GREAT
- this actually explains it well and I've boosted it. You do well to explain in my eyes...Or not even "explain" but extend or interact, enjoy expanding upon - which is all good and can be part all this in #understanding and clarifying...
🖤 I think it was good also you achieved the the "getting me to stop and think about it" in that phrasing either way - so even if it might give a bit of #excuse to pass it over seeing dildo as your first pinned post and 2nd line in - still they could read more or see someone else reply (so doesn't always need to be an easy bar for people though these post after help after the interest (positive type) or confusion (positive/neutral/negative type).
Is good to upset people as well in that sense too and if you ever do this writing again or part of something else then you could always put an asterisk by #dildo* etc so people could look down see what you mean / make sure they know - like a #vocab footnote / #vocabulary section / sidenote.
Basically to "help you in life" (not that you need it 100% -) but only because I recently learned something that might help and still learning!.. is that WE are the part of the problem (or balance) doing the same-same things in a limited way and talking to same limited people or not believing in pioneers above us (even strange people / or me / or even shitposters / wildpeople to be honest that have great ideas despite aesthetics or just *think different- which is enough to score more than average or same-same things over and over.)
WE are not able to link, TO #TRUST (OR INCREMENT TRUST)
The aim as I see it from here is:
- To keep talking to those that can those that do understand
- write back no matter what
- push through and see you are good / imperfect even if a bit of #bitcoin loving comes up suddenly or we're not sure why someone has those mix or loves and we let those write everything else off
- those that want to get to reasoning in the end and find the logic
- etc etcAt the moment my observation is that those heads (let's say like you and me or above listed things) don't actually make ourselves an audio #chat or keep incrementing something to do with this BOTH as therapy and creative work - to take ourselves to next level / other progress.
Instead most of the we / us are trying to bring the wrong people up / those that don't want / those that already decided for one reason or other...
Anyway audio chat is there for you - I have a #Jitsi chat open anytime you're ready...
And overall I think past what you said or after we survive things WE NEED to CREATE / RE-CREATE ourselves out of it into another dynamic and ping pong - find others too in process...
Even taking the 1% of 10% who are clever and open to this might still mean more than enough for us (5 people maybe on Fediverse as my account has been trying this) to #pingpong and constantly discover more and go up from where we are intelligence (or #accumulated intelligence) and not 'bash' or repeat to those that simple are different (or not interested / limited in #intelligence / #workaholics / escaping in a different way etc...)
so recognize this (saying it's a shame etc) but not focus / dwell on this unless it's a positive accumulated way that that can reply / care more from there. Yeah kinda "#fuck them" but really just 'we can't focus on them / don't know how that works - so let's focus elsewhere constantly"
Again our ability to chat further is a measure of ALL that "becoming the change" and "transforming" which I think is quite right in the #biological / behavioural / evolutionary way...
So...
Try not forget this post and I think we (every level for themselves) need each other and need themselves / ourselves to got to the next level or traverse to other levels and increment those / change and pump those up... which reflects the compartmentalisation we're in and that system is 'producing' mono-specialist and the time is to #transform out of that!
Sorry if I wrote a bit fast (I'm doing this daily and people who can't really continue I've reduced effort to doing it faster / writing to more people answer those that can answer!)

If I get one more comment demanding I swap a perfectly good English word with a very specific meaning that's really quite important, for another, vaguer English word that s far less useful, because people "might find it confusing", I shall lose my mind.

#WordyWednesday: Half Couch vs Full Couch Casket
Most American caskets are half couch. What does that mean?
A half couch casket has a two-piece lid. The top half opens to reveal the deceased’s face and torso while the lower half remains closed to conceal the legs.
These caskets open on the left (it’s just the industry standard, likely because we tend to approach the casket and touch the person with our right hand while turned slightly toward their face; it just works better this way). The inside of the foot end of the casket is often “unfinished,” meaning that it’s spartan rather than upholstered in pleated fabric. We can’t spontaneously decide to reverse a body in a casket, but we can custom order a casket built to open in the opposite direction (like if the right side of a person is too disfigured for viewing).
Note: even though YOU only see the top lid open, rest assured that WE can open both lids to get the body inside. Once the body is nicely tucked in, we close the lower lid.
A full couch casket has a one-piece lid to showcase the entire body, head to toe. They’re uncommon, typically only seen in certain parts of the country. Some include an inner leg covering and/or a foot pillow. Funeral directors must accommodate a few details differently: standard casket flower sprays can only be placed on top when it’s fully closed (or a long simple garland is draped along the hinge panel inside), and similarly, the flag cannot be draped unless the lid is fully closed. Half couch caskets allow flower sprays or a pleated flag to be draped over the closed foot panel during viewing.
Either way, please bring pants for your loved one. Whether we can see their legs or not, they ought to be properly dressed. Full couch caskets expose the feet too, which is rough for us when the feet are swollen. Putting shoes on is really hard! It’s also tricky to keep the feet together rather than splaying out (this is a better reason to tie shoelaces together rather than making the zombie apocalypse funnier).
Which would you prefer? Full or half couch?

#WordyWednesday: Ossilegium ☠️
A noun meaning the act of collecting bones for placement in an ossuary after the rest of the body has decomposed. FYI, an ossuary is a building or structure to house bones or cremated remains. (I’ll do one of these on ossuaries later!)
The collected bones may be stored in individual boxes, small niches, or arranged into magnificent displays with many other skeletons.
Many cultures performed this as a means of conserving burial space. Ancient Greeks even collected bones from funeral pyres and washed them with wine and oil before placing them in urns.
Pronounced oss-ih-LEE-gee-um.
Not to be confused with the metal band by the same name 🤘🏻

CW: Embalming Chemicals
The "index" is the strength of embalming fluid, measured by the grams of pure formaldehyde gas dissolved in 100 milliliters of water. It's kind of like measuring the proof of alcohol; some people need stronger mixtures than others.
The index of the fluid in the manufacturer's bottle is different from the index of the solution we inject into the body. Typically, two or three 16 oz. bottles of embalming fluid are mixed with water and miscellaneous accessory chemicals (water conditioners, humectants etc.), resulting in about three gallons of solution (varies by body).
The formula used to calculate the final strength/index of the mixed solution is loathed by mortuary science students everywhere: C x V = C' x V'

A very dramatic way of saying "on the verge of death."
Synonyms include: terminal, doomed, fated, mortally ill, perishing, declining, expiring, on one's deathbed, on one's last leg, and one foot in the grave.
Not to be confused with the Monty Python parrot sketch (that bird was completely deceased).

CW: Description of embalming tool and usage
#WordyWednesday: Needle Injector
(A day late, but Mastodon wouldn't upload my pic yesterday)
A stainless-steel tool used to facilitate a mouth closure on a dead person. The tool drives a small barb into the jawbone through the gums (one goes into the upper jaw, one goes into the lower jaw), then the thin wires attached to each barb are twisted together. Not a great tool for embalmers with tiny hands. (I prefer to suture the mouth closed from the inside)
