HOLD. UP. I didn't think it could be done, but it finally happened: I used all the ink in a pen before I got bored and abandoned it for something better. The WHOLE PEN!

I have two cats and a dog. Guess which one walked into the room with a freshly dead mouse.

Death quote of the day: "My God, I just remembered that we die." - Clarice Lispector Found that at the beginning of the book Martyr! By Kaveh Akbar, highly recommend #deathpositive #deathsky #dying 💀🖤☠️

Peak ADHD: in December I preordered Alex Partridge's book on ADHD. Had to preorder because I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY and WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE MONTH?! I forgot I had it till just now. Two months later. Not a letter has been read. Fully erased from my brain. I should probably read that now.

Nothing delights me more than science/tech speak for things. Similar to the SpaceX Starship, I too occasionally experience "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

🧪💀☠️ Question for @imperi.bsky.social or any death/grief/psych/sociology pro: One benefit always noted for mourners with natural burial is the ability to participate. Is there research being done on the potential grief/emotional effects of natural vs conventional funerals? #death #grief #research

This is your reminder that you too can star as Yorrick in the afterlife if you have clear instructions for your posthumous care, and an executor that gets you 💀 Talk to your friendly neighbourhood Death Doula to help you achieve your posthumous acting dreams! #deathsky #deathdoula

Aspirin may enhance the immune response against cancer metastasis in mice, according to research published in Nature. The authors suggest that the findings could aid the development of effective anti-metastatic immunotherapies. https://go.nature.com/3F3GWOB 🧪

Yesterday while checking in for my psych appointment there was a family of 4 - mom, dad, 2 daughters about 7 and 10. I overheard: 10: what are we doing again? Mom: we're here to talk about how lately you [issue] Dad in a low, serious tone: but remember, we DON'T. Talk. About. BRUNO.

So many scientific studies sound ridiculous and people make fun of them until the products of the chain reaction from those studies becomes a staple in society that those same people either don't know about or just assume popped magically into existence.

Crochet and cadavers - great name for a podcast. Dibs! Also works for a Miss Marple knockoff series. And it works for this afternoon, working a project and learning death care practices 🖤

After spending the last year pitching and attempting to put together a proposal to get a literary agent, I'm over it. Scrapping it all. Going self publishing babyyyy! Time to get to work. Seriously, stop scrolling....

At first I was decayed. I was putrefied. Kept thinking I could never liiive without formaldehyde.

9. Remember you have diagnosed ADHD and none of this will work for you until you take your Adderall

Everything is a bummer. Break time! If you have a deceased loved one, what food makes you think of them every time and why? #deathpositive #deathsky

I have a catfish now due to circumstances. Certainly won't keep him long before releasing but I'm enjoying him. Simply based on facial expressions, I'm starting to relate to this fish on an existential level.

"Death has eyes and ears and that smell - that sweet, sweet smell. It is, in all its shifting ways, utterly magnificent. And the best part about death is that it's all of ours to share." -Griffon vulture in Feral Creatures by Kira Jane Buxton Today's #deathpositive quote 🖤 #deathsky #deathcare

"You would have been caught sneaking into the restricted section at Hogwarts." That's perhaps the greatest compliment I've ever received

You heard it here likely not first: r.e.m. beauty's Wicked Elphaba black lip balm is THE BEST. r.e.m. > Finding Ferdinand's black lip balm in feel, look, and longevity (for me) Feels, wears better than Clinique Black Honey *r.e.m.*- neutral tone pinkish purple FF- cool purply C- warm dark neutral

Today's #deathpositive quote: "Dancing through life... If only because dust is what we'll come to." -Wicked Yes I went there. I'm obsessed. No shame. PLUS they have a line about going to have a good time and enjoy life because someday we'll all be dust? That line has stuck with me for years. 🖤

Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...

A friend of mine is spending NYE listening to the B side of all the albums she got for Christmas. There's something poignant here but I'm starting early on my resolution of not over explaining and also there's gin.

Don't want to brag or anything but I've had follows from Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis so far. Crushing it. For real though how many of my few followers are actually real people?

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

ADHD folks, give me your tips! I want to give advice to a parent of a 12yo boy we all believe has moderate ADHD (I or C). Most of what Mom is finding is geared towards more intense, physically hyperactive, poor student style ADHD kids but that isn't him. 1/🧵

Listening to the Wicked (movie) soundtrack, I found it, the one flaw in an otherwise impeccable production: The Wizard's door/window man is TOO QUIET! Like dude. Buddy. My guy. I'm sorry if this is your Monday but kindly read the room, match the vibe. 1/ #wickedmovie #wicked #emeraldcity

I love learning new words! Today I learned "bloviate" (something my autocorrect has yet to do). I feel like I'll probably use this word a lot starting mid-January.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
