I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo. We've lost the easy familiarity with the patterns of dying that existed when death typically occurred in people’s own homes. Let's talk about it 🙏

This is why I’m here: 🧵Trigger warning: suicide I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice. Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

Have to admire the chutzpah of this sheepskin shop offering a tour of a tannery as a selling point. In terms of putting people off it's not quite up there with a tour of the pork pie factory followed by the cafe, but maybe Kiwi tanneries are much nicer than those found anywhere else?
