Something about living with a gigantic historic cemetery as my backyard is that over the years, I've gotten strangely familiar with epitaphs.

A lot of them are religious, of course. Some certainly reflect the gender inequalities of their time: a stone crowded with the good reverend's accomplishments and personality with "& His Wife" scooched in at the very bottom. The difference in the language of people killed in action in Civil War graves versus those from World War II graves. Cavalry and bombers. It's all so interesting, the way different generations of humans choose to sum up their loved ones in that last, permanent way.

Of course, I'm only human too, so I have my special favorites. There's one that says "This was me. I lived, I loved, I make no apologies." Another I like says "I warmed both hands on the fire of life," quoting "Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher" by Landor.

My very, very favorite is on the grave of a woman who lived into her 90s: "Lord grant me patience. But hurry."

small reminder you are loved!

My grandfather died on Saturday. It wasn’t overly surprising — he’d been in poor health for awhile and then got pneumonia. Anyway, this post isn’t so much about him dying as it is about the fact that we think the cemetery where my grandmother has been buried for forty years may have moved her headstone without telling anyone, which, to be clear, would mean that her headstone is no longer on her grave, and the cemetery is claiming they have no records proving where she was buried, which is weird since it’s been owned by the same Catholic diocese this entire time.

Saw a post about mutuals you would go to a cemetery with and got curious so I made a poll.

I visit cemeteries fairly often, I think, but i don't really have a frame of reference for normal. Our town's sledding hill is in the local cemetery and it's a great place to take a walk. I do have relatives buried there, but I don't visit their graves that often. I also enjoy visiting old country cemeteries when I'm out hiking.

Ever since my family moved to this village this have been … off. You noticed it, haven't you? The dogs. I mean, they've always liked me. Now, though, it's like I have control over them. I don't know how to describe it. They—they follow me everywhere. I don't mind it. They're … nice to me.

But it's weird, isn't it? Anyone else would be torn to shreds. I can stick my hand in one of their mouths and they'd lick it.

... I don't know what's going on. There are only two people that can give me answers. One is dead. The other runs that factory. So, I'm going inside, Mr. Winters. You can come with me if you'd like, but you can't stop me.

I stood on my own grave today the hole dug six feet deep into the dirt A cheap plywood casket lay upon the pile And I climb down and lay flat I've never felt so at home I've never felt so alone

I'm hanging from the rafters at least the shell of who I once was I had to make sure he stayed dead And someday I'll probably kill what inhabits my body now I'll be a stranger to who I was when it comes time for me to rot away in that hole I'll have plenty of stories of how many people can fit into the vessel And surprisingly, it's a hell of a lot

The person I once was, who left scars all over this flesh I can't stand him, we share almost nothing in common And seeing his scars on my skin is unfit for a head case But somewhere long after now, I'll probably say the same about the person I am today

Change comes with side effects and the brain can't handle it all at once so we create new creatures with experience and age life becomes a series of suicides

I stared into my own grave today I even through some daisies into the rectangle

Today I found my holy grail: the plot maps for Oak Woods Cemetery. Someone left a binder stuck in a tree, so naturally I had to take a look. Holy Smokes!

My guess is an employee left there by accident. It's lucky each page is in a plastic sleeve, since it had been raining earlier. They're also lucky that I found it, since I will photograph the maps, and return the binder intact to the office.

I have wanted to see the plot maps for years, and this binder is an absolute treasure!

Let me share a few lovely details that caught my eye at first glance. I love some of the different fonts used over time, and finding the surveyor information is so cool!

I'm so excited for what this means for learning more about the history of this cemetery and those buried here! It'll be a huge help for Find a Grave requests, too!

It's going to be hard to concentrate on work today, let me tell you!

i finished the cemeteries of amalo series and i don't think i'd go so far as to say that i'm upset or mad that thara celehar and iäna pel-thenhior didn't end up together (although i did kind of assume the narrrative was pointing that way) but it did feel odd to me that thara met a new character at the beginning of the tomb of dragons and then developed feelings for him over the course of the book because he's basically if a skittish cat was an elf cleric and it takes him most of the series to even accept that he has friends who would notice if he was kidnapped off the street and disappeared. and actually i think i'm more annoyed that the series ends with thara having to go on the run away from amalo and doesn't know when he'll see his friends again.

Accidentally ended up mentioning my ongoing sexuality struggles in therapy and now my therapist seems to want to keep picking at why and how im closeted and why dont I want to come out to my maga Trump supporting Dad.

Like maam…fuck no I don’t trust him. I am not interested in putting myself at risk rn.

How do I politely get her to let go of pushing me on sexuality and make it clear I am there for get help with my anxiety and depression ?
