Swedish Death Cleaning 5 Lessons From Cleaning Out Mom's House

I tell you what, this is rocket 🚀 fuel ⛽ to me wanting to get my shit organized enough to be able to find the things I know I have.

Art supply haul! Watercolors (tube style and pan), color pencils, loads of watercolor pencils, brushes, palette etc. Also watercolor paper, sketch pads, a cutting mat not pictured. I haven't even gotten to some of the basement caches.

I have to sort through Mom's weird crap, at least I get free art supplies out of it. (Hopefully they're not all dried up. If so, no big deal)

The London Times, November 5, 1966, page 13. The first picture of Patrick Troughton as the 2nd Doctor on Guy Fawkes' Day! I'm sure that isn't prophetic that the 2nd Doctor would be a more chaotic character than the 1st.

Clearing out stuff is like geology

You're looking at the layers of your life and wondering what the fuck happened.

Arada çentik atıp geçmekle yetindiğim "Benim Müzem" tasarısıyla uyandım sabah. Kaç yıldır, on yıldır mı, taşıyorum fikri? Hiçbir zaman acelesi, önceliği olmadı bende, şimdi de öyle: Siyaha Geçiş sonrasında bıraktığım 'iş'lerden biri: Hele bir eldekileri sağ salim düze çıkarayım da, sırası gelecekse gelir.

"The Best of" değil kafamdaki, nesnellik ağırlık bir antolojiye ulaşmayı hedeflemiyorum burada. Golem'den günümüze bir biçimde beni çekim alanında alıkoymuş yapıtlara yaslanmak tasam. Çoğu bilinen tanınan yapıtlardır, 'orijinallik' taslamayı, kuytuda kalmış olmadık ürünlerle şaşırtmayı aklımdan geçirmedim. Biriktirdiklerimde, bugüne dek, bir karşılığı olmuş olanlar besbelli ağır basacak, girişirsem bir gün -ama bir metin, ama bir paragraf. Oyaladılar, beslediler, açtılar beni: Toplasınlar isterim.

Resim, heykel, "iş", yapı, foto, filim, oyun ve ötesi. Kaç yapıt? En fazla 200. Bazı sanatçılardan birden çok ürüne yer vermem sözkonusu olabilir.

Enis Batur'un 300 kitaplık "Asal Kitaplık" projesi, Alpagut'un dürtüklemesiyle, enikonu ilerledi, geçmişte bir yaz son noktayı koymayı umuyordu. Belirsiz güz aylarında, bir kutu içinde sunmak istiyor fişleri Norgunk.

"Benim Müzem", doğal olarak kısmen de olsa ona eklemlenecektir. İnşası ayrı, yavaş yavaş belirleyebilirim listemi - nasıl olsa birkaç 'döküm' var elimde.

Daha zorlusu: Bir gün yaparım umudunu taşıyorum, "Benim Müziklerim". Merkezine Voivod'un oturacağı bir seçki.

53'ü tamamlamama az ay kaldı. Bir yaş sancısı, korkusu var bütün bu toplama/toparlamalarda - bana mı öyle geliyor?

Asıl, 2023 için öngördüğüm 'kartpostal kutusu'. Bugüne dek 'yaptıklarımı' irili ufaklı bütün içerecek 150-200 arası kartpostaldan oluşacak bir toplam. Önünde fotosu, arkasında künye bilgileri ve bazı alıntılar yeralacak herbirinin. Dileyen bir 'bibliyografya' denemesi, dileyen bir "Bütün Eserleri" provası sayabilir o kutuyu. En sona, üç "work in progress" kapağı koysam mı?! Neden olmasın - olsun.

- ciddi intihal içerir / bakınız. CXIX : Enis Batur - Merak Cemiyeti Tutanakları - İçbükeyler 2010-2011

i want ten million trinkets but i also want my death to not be a burden for those I leave behind

[realmoftheacornking]

The kind of photo you find in an envelope hidden in a drawer in your grandpa's house after his passing, when you're trying to clear it out so the house can be put on the market. The sort of keepsake that leaves the family wondering who the hell 'Frank' was, and what precisely was the nature of their relationship. Grandpa always seemed like such a straight arrow--he was a big, hulking construction foreman for most of his career, for God's sake!

Margareta Magnussen, in her recent book on 'The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning,' recommends that the elderly put such photos, love letters, and other embarrassing documents that are too dear to be destroyed into a shoebox marked 'PRIVATE--THROW OUT'. After death, It's likely that the deceased's family will be happy to just toss the box, sparing themselves the trouble of having to go through it. They've got enough crap to deal with.

Move over, Marie Kondo. Misheard 18yo and have just invented a brilliant new method of tidying up: Swedish Chef cleaning.

Step 1. Cheerfully toss stuff around. Step 2. You're done!

The gift of having difficult conversations

This holiday season, one of the best gifts you can give the caregivers in your life as well as those nearing the end of their lives is the space and attention to have difficult conversations. This includes not only end-of-life conversations but challenging family situations that need to be addressed. Perhaps there’s a caregiver in your family or friend circles that could use more support. If…

Mom’s jewelry box

[m-elayna]

So yeah, back in ancient days, when I was a Doctor Who-obsessed college student and the library contained microfiches of many newspapers (do they still?), I researched in spare moments. Recently I found a whole binder of articles I printed and labeled, and possibly these are all online somewhere but yes, I'm gonna share on Tumblr because I can't just toss it all into the recycle bin after it's set in my bookcases for more than 30 years.

So the earliest mention of Doctor Who I found, "A new family series, "Dr. Who", which borders on science fiction, will be screened on Saturday," etc. From the London Times, September 13, 1963, page 6c. Considering that DW was supposed to be primarily a history series, that description seems odd (though ultimately appropriate).
