there was a bestselling book here, soon to be an Amy Poehler tv series : The gentle art of Swedish death cleaning. it’s about how you should throw out all your stuff that nobody cares about after you’re dead, but do it when you are still healthy and at full capacity.

get rid of old paperwork, clothes that you don’t wear, the clutter in the kitchen cabinets, books that you won’t read again, digital clutter. leave only the good stuff, and don’t make your poor relatives sort through all your clutter when you’re gone.

I know some healty 75-80 yo people who have started death cleaning, and it seems like a liberating process.

i had no idea this was a thing but this is the exact line of argument my partner uses with her dad (and mom, but mostly her dad) to try to get him to clean out more of his hoard

thankfully covid slowed him way the gently caress down but i'm still not looking forward to dealing with that house if they both suddenly kick it

most common burial practice in Sweden is cremation and then spreading the ashes in a minneslund (lit. memorial grove). the minneslund is a section of the cemetary that's marked and roped off. it looks like a lawn or a wooded park.

you leave the ashes with the cemetary, and then a worker will spread or bury the ashes shortly after. you are not allowed to know the exact time, or to be there when they are spread. there are no markers for any people at the minneslund. it's purpously collective and anonymous.

at all hallows eve, people visit the minneslund and place candles there. it's a moving sight with november darkness and candles and lanterns everywhere.

people here simply don't die

i will say that this movie/book are absolutely not torture porn garbage (like hostel or whatever) and are legit good horror, but obviously only if you're into that sort of thing

there is one particularly graphic scene but the bulk of the movie is psychological if anything

king has a short story about someone who is mistaken for a corpse due to [narratively convenient medical condition?!] which leaves him paralyzed but sensate and about to be autopsied alive. how he escapes this dilemma is pretty standard king lol

the scariest movie is the babadook not because of the monster but the idea of being a single parent to a special needs child with no support network is way more frightening than getting murdered by a ghost

Sometimes knee pain can be referred pain from your lower back. If you get pins and needles too, just something old people should know about.

YES but demons are not interested in me. i'm very sensitive about it :(

today i bought a backpack and buying it involved walking around a store and up stairs with a 35lb or so pack. at one point i hopped a couple times and mid-air was like "ohfuckmyknee" but it didn't hurt. i don't wanna count my not-being-crippled chickens before they hatch but it was real nice
