TW for Death Talk and Mortality 

A death positivity YouTuber I follow posted this video about the realities and issues of trying to afford death services as a fat person. While not everyone can talk about these issues I think it’s important that those that can have some information. 

(For those that don’t know death positivity is a movement to encourage people to face their mortality and to make wills, death plans or even to advocate for more options for what they can do with their bodies in death and to demystify the death industry in an attempt to impower people about a subject that can leave us feeling helpless) 

This is amazing and very different from what we usually talk about. Thanks for bringing it to us!!!

I got this beautiful Jacob in the mail. Poor thing is a disaster. It's young, and I'm glad it didn't live very long with that tiny, pinched foramen magnum :(

What’s the source for this because that’s an insane amount of stones for an otherwise healthy person, I’d be shocked if there’s not an underlying pathology like primary hyperoxaluria.
