Morbid Curiosity: A Game About Death

Delightfully wicked party game about death. Created by a grief therapist/artist & an educator/punk rocker. #cardgame #morbidcuriositygame #Death #deathpositive

Highly intelligent outliers often possess an exceptionally strong death drive - Thanatos - carrying an undeniable, almost sensual darkness. In Freudian theory, this drive is not merely physical - it extends into the psychic, spiritual, and symbolic realms of ending. It expresses itself through aggression, destruction, and sabotage - the impulse towards utter dissolution, an innate human truth. It is the haunting, seductive call of the underworld - for within the descent lies release, relinquishment, and resignation - a form of freedom, an unconscious flirtation with dissipation, free-falling into the abyss, because within it lies relief. Thanatos' true nature, at its most profound, is paradoxical - an existential pull towards total undoing and entropy in order to reach stillness. For those in whom this primordial drive is violently strong, it is through the soul's own demise and destruction that life and evolution are often found. Thanatos becomes the ouroboric gateway - a portal to relentless transformation and growth, once mastered. It is the true key to greatness, the oracle of the void.

When a dog dies of old age in The Sims 3, the Grim Reaper reassures them with a hug and throws a stick for them to follow into the afterlife.

Watched the eclipse with my oldest friend. Moments like this remind me how short and beautiful our life is.

Friends, my health has been less than great, and I am in the hospital for surgery and then a little rest. I hope to keep the Daily Poetry Thread going strong.

I leave you for now with these words.

🧵It was once believed that during the days around the winter solstice the dead visited the living.

With this in mind, here’s a thread on death + Christmas folklore

For me, it is the smell of my mother's hand lotion June Geranium. Sadly, they don't make it anymore.

This is such a great guide as I prepare my workshop on working with grief and death.

We need a whole series of just Michael Sheen giving advice

From 'disposal' to 'deceased', words matter. Our founder @poppymardall introduces our #DeadGoodWords campaign to create new, better ways to talk about death and dying.

Which words would you change?

Every culture has unique ways of facing the loss of the important people in our lives. Anthropologists, sociologists and religious studies scholars have tried mapping out the intricate rites and rituals surrounding death around the world. https://t.co/TPeFSyBshr

This Earth Day, consider your impact even when you’re gone. Here are some ways you can show up and advocate for the legalization of green burial options in your region.

Excited to watch Season 1... When the parent said "the hardest thing I've ever had to do was tell my children their mother was dead" I flashed to the hardest thing I've had to do, decide if I I should tell my mother, who had Alzheimers, Dad died.

@goodgriefapp Coming up on 4 years since both my parents passed. Feels like an eternity, and no time at all. Tears come every time I say "they died, two weeks apart"

[TalkDeath @TalkDeathDaily]

I know backyard burial is on the mind of a few of you as your end of life plans…let us warn you though: it is possible, but it is NOT easy 😅

When you die, what is the last part of your body to stop working?

Your pupils. They dilate.
