Finally! Finally they’re trying to take the bullets out of the gun instead of trying to make a stronger bulletproof vest. I feel cautiously optimistic!

I’m a bit jealous that there’s no side effects, though. Depo made me gain 30lbs in ONE month. I’m lucky it made my tits significantly bigger (Went from a B to a DD), but that was not a fun experience.

Fun fact! California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Vermont allow for human composting as a form of body disposition; like cremation or burial.

Oh definitely. I created a show after I had to stop mortuary work (genetic disability) because it’s fascinating. I even ran the Wayne State University Funeral History Museum for 3 years.

Yup! Human composting is only legal in Vermont, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado right now.

That channel gets enough wrong that I can’t support it. The biggest thing wrong that I’ve heard a million times is that you don’t have to be embalmed. If there is going to be a viewing, more than 48 hours after death, even just with next of kin; there, legally, has to be embalming to stop the biohazard risk in most states. If you want a direct burial or cremation, you don’t need to be embalmed; but if the public will be around the deceased, embalming is almost always required. Even in those that aren’t mandatory after 48 hours, there’s a massive liability waiver because of how dangerous it is, and you won’t be able to touch them without gloves.

It’s allowed in Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, Washington, and California, so definitely becoming more widespread. I’m not sure if you need a specific mortuary, but the one I worked in Colorado (before the law passed) would work with all sorts of programs; Science Care (body donation), organ donation programs, the companies that turned your cremated remains into diamonds/glass art/coral reefs, the ones that shot cremated remains into space or had it mixed with fireworks or tattoo ink. There are a LOT of options for you postmortem 😅

There’s actually human composting now, too! (I’m a mortician)
