Court proceeding for RCMP officers charged in Indigenous man’s death leaves family disappointed

The family of Dale Culver has waited for nearly six years for RCMP officers to show their faces in court.

The family arrived at a Prince George court June 6 thinking they were finally going to see the five RCMP officers, who were charged after a 2017 incident in which Culver died after an interaction with police.

https://windspeaker.com/news/windspeaker-news/court-proceeding-rcmp-officers-charged-indigenous-mans-death-leaves-family

#FirstNations #RCMP #death #court #BC #legal #PrinceGeorge

A black, red and white banner is displayed, held up by six people. On it is printed "Dale Culver, Killed by RCMP, Indigneous Lives Matter." On it are the silhouettes of black bears at the top left and right, a white circle with a white hand holding a white feather in the centre at bottom left and a logo that can't really be made out bottom right.

Ehkä 'kokemus' mielletään usein liian hetkelliseksi? Olisiko jo vanheneminen kokemus, jos hidastaisi? Itse lakkaan kai pian yrittämästä luodata dementoitumisen kokemusta, joka on hidasta kuolemista. Mentaaliset "aikamatkailut" vaativat virkeitä aivoja.

Missing 'Bitcoin Millionaire' and ONFO coin co-creator found dead: Report - The body of Dr. John Forsyth has been found following a week-long... - https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-millionaire-onfo-coin-creator-dead #johnforsyth #onfocoin #death

Important read: A 'natural death' may be preferable for many to enduring CPR

“In 2010 a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150,000 patients, found that the overall rate of survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%.”

#cpr #death #heart
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/29/1177914622/a-natural-death-may-be-preferable-for-many-than-enduring-cpr

Text Shot: But this is life or death — even if the odds are grim, what's the harm in trying if some will live? The harm, as it turns out, can be considerable. Chest compressions are often physically, literally harmful. "Fractured or cracked ribs are the most common complication," wrote the original Hopkins researchers, but the procedure can also cause pulmonary hemorrhage, liver lacerations, and broken sternums. If your heart is resuscitated, you must contend with the potential injuries.

A rare but particularly awful effect of CPR is called CPR-induced consciousness: chest compressions circulate enough blood to the brain to awaken the patient during cardiac arrest, who may then experience ribs popping, needles entering their skin, a breathing tube passing through their larynx.

To better prepare for #climate #change, we need a deeper understanding of how #ecosystems respond to and recover from mass #death events, and what the "new normal" may look like with more frequent #die-offs. Mass #mortality events are a tangible manifestation of climate change impacts, but we must look beyond the gore to gain useful insights.

Using #death certificates, #CDC released provisional mortality data for all causes in the US. (Not every county listed #COVID as cause of death, so this is likely an undercount for COVID.)

3.2 million people died in 2022, which is a 5% decrease from 2021. About 244,986 people died of COVID in 2022, a 46% decrease from COVID deaths in 2021.

May 25th is a particularly special date in the history of heavy metal music, and 2023 is no exception. On this day in 2023, four of the greatest metal bands of all time created musical memories that will last forever! The Scorpions released In Trance to much fanfare, while Dio's Holy Diver set the standards for future metal vocalists to follow. Death, the pioneers of death metal, changed the way fans experienced music with Leprosy while Anthrax released the classic Spreading the Disease. Last but not least, Sweden's own Sabaton released their seminal album Primo Victoria, going on to level up the metal world. A true testament to this most metal of days!

I was recently told by a volunteer at a local "natural" cemetery (bodies are buried with only biodegradable shrouds and/or all wood coffins) that 42-inches is the perfect depth for a grave. Deeper and decomposition is hindered. Shallower and leakage & critters become a problem. I'm not making this up!

My wife's cousin just died, and the non-religious daughter is having it out with the religious son about whether to honor their mother's verbal wishes expressed to the daughter—cremation + no funeral—vs. a religious funeral.
PSA: Parents, WRITE DOWN YOUR FUNERAL WISHES and make sure your kids know where that document is.
Also, you need a will, a healthcare proxy, and advance directives.
Don't leave behind a mess for your kids to deal with at a terrible time.

Death on the Sun: The dark smudges at left provide a rare close look at an old sunspot as it fades away. The granules are cells of hot plasma bubbling upward, typically about 1,000 kilometers wide. https://nso.edu/press-release/new-images-released-by-nsfs-inouye-solar-telescope #Sun #Death #Space

A sunspot is identifiable by its dark, central umbra and surrounding filamentary-structured penumbra. A closer look reveals the presence of nearby umbral fragments - essentially, a sunspot that’s lost its penumbra. These fragments were previously a part of the neighboring sunspot, suggesting that this may be the “end phase” of a sunspot’s evolution. While this image shows the presence of umbral fragments, it is extraordinarily rare to capture the process of a penumbra forming or decaying.

#introduction post!

every intro is a bit different, but this is what I spent a lot of time writing for my profile here. I think it's the best one so far, after so many tries.

..

#Trans #Non-Binary #GenderQueer. Loud neurodivergent about 70% of the time, and 30% of the time I am trying to hide.

I write short essays / long blog posts here (I moved my content from Substack recently):
https://nixkelley.com -- I write about #QueerIdentity, #Death, #Hope, #Praxis, & #SongLyrics. My inspiration to write usually comes when songs and poetry remind me what is true.

I currently live on
#Anishinaabeg land in what is called Michigan, in the lower half of the mitten shape, between the Great Lakes.

I am a trained
#DeathDoula. I engage in #DeathWork and #GriefWork for my chosen family and anyone from the #LGBTQIA2S+ community that needs me.

My death work website is at
http://everonandon.com and my writing for the dying and their chosen family is still on Substack right now at https://leadmehome.substack.com.

I'm currently training in a pre-Gardnerian Celtic oathbound lineaged oral mystery tradition of
#BritishTraditionalWitchcraft. My intent is to serve the community wherever I live (and wherever I can travel digitally), as a layperson for now and as clergy once I reach an appropriate level of training.

I am a
#polytheist and an #animist. I live in an intentional community with my #ChosenFamily, and we are learning how to do this as we go.

Lastly, I am a
#polyam person and I currently have two partners. I watch queer media whenever possible. I am also a consumer of extremely ridiculous #paranormal media, and most of the time I'm facepalming or shouting at a podcast or the television (bagel bites, if you know you know).

#AltText is important! I have attached my current avatar photo to this intro post. I have pale skin and silver piercings and in this photo my hair is dark.

I'm taking my wife to the airport this afternoon; she's flying to Georgia for a week to attend a couple of funerals. Very sad.

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” - Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

These are red (wild) southern dew berries on a bed of green leaves and grass.  They aren't quite ripe.  These berries grow wild all over the area.  Southern dew berries are in the blackberry family; indeed, it is hard to tell the difference between dew berries and blackberries.  I think blackberries may be a bit larger.

Does anyone have any interesting ideas for how to memorialize a website?

Not looking to keep it online, but a way to bring the content to another medium (can be digital, connected to the internet, or not).

@Lockdownyourlife ... great point about these "legacy" type accounts. I've dealt with this firsthand, and gotta say that while I never expected such accounts to stay around 'forever' it does change things to consider they will likely disappear on a shorter cadence. Had a collegial conversation a few years ago about legacy accounts like POTUS as well, and I suspect this is the true target of this new effort, with regular folks as collateral damage in one way or another. #birdsite #death #infosec

More on this story:
On a 96-degree day in 2021, Antelmo Ramirez died of hyperthermia while working on #Tesla’s Gigafactory construction site just southeast of #Austin—making him one of 1,306 Texas construction workers to perish between 2011 and 2021, which is more than California and Pennsylvania combined, reports @gusbova:
https://www.texasobserver.org/tesla-texas-worker-death-heat/

#HumanRights #ElonMusk #labor #workers #news #death #ClimateChange #Texas

Bar chart: Dating back to 2017, one fifth of heat-related fatalities in OSHA's database took place in Texas (25 out of 121 deaths).

It was a rough winter for the feral horses around Mono Lake in California. We saw at least five carcasses near the lake shore.

Antelmo Ramirez was a dad, grandpa and husband. When he died of hyperthermia while building #Tesla’s Gigafactory, they didn't tell local officials. @gusbova brings us his last hours in this important new investigation into heat deaths on the job:

I have been thinking a lot about how my digital estate should be wrapped-up if the proverbial Number 73 bus comes along (which would be a miracle given the state of Bristol's bus services).

I have started writing an emergency information pack describing:

- Insurance
- Household utilities
- Legal contacts (Will)
- Cat related things

20 years since my mum died of cancer.

I loved her to bits. An intense and argumentative woman of Irish stock, prone to religion and dark bed-bound depression, but also given an equally dark sense of humour that I will always treasure.

Sadly, she never accepted me transitioning, which I’ve had lot of therapy dealing with. The the gifts of ADHD and depression that she passed on to me were the icing on the cake.

Hope you’re doing well wherever you ended up. ❤️

Here are male and female memento mori figurines used for spiritual contemplation from the 19th century. They were meant to remind the owner of the transience of life and material luxury. They are now part of the Wellcome Collection in London.

Possible wedding cake toppers?! 😂

If there’s a book to help one navigate the challenges of life, my husband will find it and read it.

I worked for a #Buddhist university in #Boulder (Naropa) and Pema is beloved by all, as was Thich Nhat Hahn. It’s a very unique and special place.

This 17th-century watch is a "memento mori," a reminder of the shortness of life. The inscription roughly translates: "Thus passes wordly glory remember your end." It was sold by Christies in 2017 for £12.5K.

Funeral Invitation, 1688.

Funeral invitations first appeared in the 17th century, and acted as an admission ticket to both the church and the funeral feast. Pallbearers were often assigned a number on the ticket to signify their position in carrying the coffin.

#histodons #histodon #history #funeral #death #TIL #TheMoreYouKnow

A funeral invitation from April, 1688. It has an ornate black border with various memento mori iconography around it - like skeletons, winged hourglasses, and scythes.

This is by my uncle. He's pretty rad. The only good Boomers are the queers and other minorities. And Wavy Gravy.

Been talking send off songs for funeral when clog-popping time comes and I am contemplating Jimmy Scott - Sycamore Trees for mine but now I want to hire a little person in a red suit to dance in front of the crematorium curtains when my coffin goes through.

No kidding, if I could I would! 😁☕
