Where Have All the Women Gone? - In various cultures, women have to fight to attend #funeral of their loved ones. Patriarchs stop them with labels of traditions, religious protocols. A thread about #women's #funeral rites and non-participation. 1/

A woman in Poland died of septic shock after her fetus died in the womb — the first death linked to a near-total abortion ban. She was eligible for abortion as her life was at risk, but family say medics waited for the fetus to die because new laws ban it for congenital defects.

This Halloween, Kim Kelly (@GrimKim) relates the history of gravedigger's strikes. Underappreciated cemetery workers perform an essential social service, but only collective action can win them pay and job conditions that reflect their importance. proteanmag.com/2021/10/31/pic…

Based on a Japanese folktale Kuroneko (1964, dir. Kaneto Shindo) tells of 2 women violated & murdered by a marauding band of samurai. After a black cat licks their corpses they come back as ghosts with cat-like powers to exact their revenge. #WyrdWednesday #31DaysOfHalloween

Depiction of the human skull in #Indian traditions. In #Hindu and #Buddhist iconography human skull is depicted as necklaces or bracelets of gods and goddesses, showing their ability to conquer death. This is different from the memento mori symbolism of Christian traditions. 1/n

True Crime Is Cathartic for Women. It’s Also Cop Propaganda: "Stay sexy, don’t get murdered, and reinforce the carceral state." Great read: motherjones.com/media/2020/06/…

This one’s a keeper. As some of you know, these kinds of die cut and embossed mourning cards from the mid-19th century are my favorite to collect, and have a lot in common with the valentines from this era I collect as well. I do not have one this size or shape yet.
