Every once in a while you discover something that makes you stop and reflect that practically everything we argue about is meaningless

Symbolism behind the draped urn!

“The effects of solitary confinement on mental health can be lethal. Even though people in solitary confinement comprise only 6% to 8% of the total prison population, they account for approximately half of those who die by suicide.”https://t.co/YtyAXoANHP

Sculptures of weeping women mourn a decomposing figure, as colorful coral and mushroom-like shapes grow from the decomposition, uniting life and death and forging new growth from the loss.

Coming out of lockdown it might be that your relationship with desire or what you want is highlighted - for the past year we’ve had to work with a pause or rerouting of everyday spontaneous desires and how we responded to that unconsciously might show up now

[NAFD UK @NAFD_UK]

1/2 We're advised by @cabinetofficeuk that the 12 April lockdown change, permitting up to 15 people to attend a funeral reception/wake in England, will only apply if taking place at a COVIDsecure outdoor hospitality venue/other permitted venue (community centre, place of worship)

A funerary cartouche sketched by Baccio del Bianco. Features a skull and two bird skeletons. Below the cartouche is a fun sketch of a skeleton resting its hand on a spade. Pen & ink on red chalk. 1628 (@artinstitutechi) #skeleton #funeral

Watch this. Trust me.

A skull peeks out from the crystal bezel of this gold mourning ring. The tiny skull is encircled by gold wire and pink foil. The hoop is decorated with black enamel. c.1690-1720 (@britishmuseum) #mementomori #skull

Met tells women not to gather in solidarity. Duchess of Cambridge does it anyway. There’s a PhD to be written in what she’s signalling about royal gender politics by doing so this week. But props, and I do hope no police officer arrests another women for doing as she has done.

Gorgeous stroll around #nunheadcemetery yesterday which opened in 1840. The Anglican chapel was a victim of arson and the grounds were a site of many WW2 bombings but its still beautiful in its overgrown glory. All 52 acres of the cemetery were purchased in 1975 for only £1!!!!!

[Cassandra Geisel @geiselcassandra]

How fun is this urn?!
