you know how in corporate speak, there are “glue people”?

after Gamergate gave rise to #MAGA, Canadian sociologists came to the conclusion that the glue people that bind sociopaths, narcissists and machiavellians into social & political movements are sadists, aka trolls.

if #cruelty is the point of #fascism, #death is the point of trumpism. Miller, techbros, christofascists, zionists are all necrophiliacs.

stole your meme, yadda yadda cuz GLUE PEOPLE is who we once called ELDERS.

a hallmark of #fascism is the belief #history is a thing that lives outside of us; and that, thru violent means, only the “winners” write and impose as The Truth.

but History isn’t a thing.

history exists in being, living, doing.

books, archives, GIT repos are great, but give us a false sense of security. when “life happens”, we need Elders to wing solutions.

there is no institutional memory, only Elders.



Human composting should be a third option after burial and cremation.

My wife, Tui Davidson, spent her volunteer energy to provide a not-for-profit funeral service for Canberra. Five years later, they are a successful operation.

On Thursday, I was honoured and proud to attend her graduation from a social entrepreneur course called GRIST from Mill House Ventures. Earthly Remains is her human composting initiative and, as well as working with partners to develop the technology, she is lobbying the ACT government to create legislation to allow it, as 13 US states have done.

The GRIST program supported the creation of a short video which explains it better than I can.

She is also looking to collect data about community attitudes and would appreciate your input on a survey found at the website below.
