Every day that passes I become more rabid against animal captivity in any form. My dog will (probably) be my last, and my reptiles are kept only because if they did not find a forever home they would be put down. Since "waste" in the retail & wholesale animal industries continues, I will continue to do what I can to diminish that waste.

My favourite mortician, Caitlin Doughty, takes a bit of a content detour to talk about the 1994 death of Tyke, the elephant, in Hawai'i. It's hard viewing folks, but just another argument in the arsenal against animal captivity for the purposes of entertainment.

I'm glad this is legal in New York State. It's how I wanna go. I find it comforting. #HumanComposting #AskAMortician https://youtu.be/_LJSEZ_pl3Y

@DrLindseyFitzharris the Victorians were so weird (and sometimes kind of wonderful) about death. Do you follow #AskAMortician on #youtube ? If not, you might enjoy her

#AskAMortician is having an auction! Merchandise, props, YouTube plaques, signed books and much more! "This auction benefits The Good Death Fellowship which is a grant program created by the nonprofit organization The Order of the Good Death." #CaitlinDoughty #TheGoodDeathFellowship Sadly I can't afford to bid, but thought others would like to know about the event! 🖤

Where my Caitlyn Doughty fans at? #askamortician #DeathPositive

So interesting topics about historical deaths, working through ones unique misgivings about death to have a better relationship with it, cost of funerals, how people can advocate for an advance #deathacceptance and many other subjects. I think my only and major gripe with the conversation, which isn't exactly new, is Caitlin speaking of COVID and the pandemic like it's over. Which it absolutely is not. I am curious why she believes that. Especially given the proof to the contrary. #AskAMortician
