"These fragments of digital ephemera have now become intangible virtual memorials." This is an important, powerful and eloquent piece about #DigitalDeath and our virtual legacy. It's REALLY worth reading. theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

Here's a fun fact to get you through Friday. Pirates often wore gold or silver earrings as they were worth enough to pay for a funeral if their body washed ashore. And if the sailor died on a ship, the earrings would cover the cost of getting their body home. #Death #Facts

Leave it up to the Victorians to invent death by wallpaper! While they knew that arsenic was poisonous when eaten they had no problem decorating their walls with it... #DeathByDIY💀 atlasobscura.com/articles/shado…

We all want to live longer but what if you could live forever? With 'cyborg' transhumanist, Zoltan Istvan running against Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primaries, it's worth getting your head around transhumanism. It's a wild ride. #Death #LiveForever technologyreview.com/s/614078/trans…

A new report suggests the pollution from fossil fuels is responsible for 4 million premature deaths with the US, China and India particularly hard hit! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Here's something to get you through Monday. It's said that Vikings would forge their swords with the bones of the dead to imbue them with spirits and make them stronger... And it worked (as it carbonised the iron into a form of steel). bigthink.com/culture-religi… #MondayThoughts

Given the tragic news over the weekend regarding Caroline Flack, there's been a lot of discussion in our office today about suicide and mental health. For anyone who needs it, here's the NHS support page including contact details for recommended charities. nhs.uk/conditions/sui…

Planning a trip to Edinburgh any time soon? Be sure to check out the Beehive Inn that's home to the 'Death Cell', the door to Scotland's famous Calton Prison which was home to many notorious criminals awaiting execution. #Edinburgh #DarkTourism #Death atlasobscura.com/places/death-c…

Has Pancake Day creped up on you too? If so, make sure you don't use that old box of pancake mix that's sat at the back of the cupboard. That stuff can kill you. #PancakeDay2020 #ShroveTuesday #Pancakes #Death delish.com/food/a27721204…

Looking for some #MondayMotivation? In 1923, a jockey suffered a fatal heart attack but still managed to win the race and is the first and only dead person to do so. If Frank Hayes can make it to the finish line, you can make it to 5pm. #YouGotThis ripleys.com/weird-news/fra…

Great news, we're back to living longer! Life expectancy in the UK increased in 2019 after years of stagnation (and even dipping in 2012 and 2015 for women). The big question now is how do we ensure that extra life is of a good quality? #Death #Life theguardian.com/society/2020/m…

Just how deadly is Covid-19 aka the novel coronovirus? Should you lock yourself indoors? This is a long but really good look into just how likely it is you'll die from this virus. Spoiler Alert, it's worse if you're a guy #CoronaVirus #Coronovirusupdate gizmodo.com/how-deadly-is-…

LOOK! Our Managing Director Paul Wiseall is giving an interactive session about Digital Death THIS SATURDAY! It's at the famous @arnosvalecem in Bristol and is part of the Life, Death (and the Rest) festival. More details at the link. #Death #Bristol blog.death.io/digital-death-…

Have you ever sat back and wondered to yourself, 'If I lived in 1665 how might I have died?' Well wonder no more! For the record, I would have died of 'wormes' #ThursdayMotivation #thursdayvibes vole.wtf/death-roulette/

Hugely interesting and diverse talks @arnosvalecem discussing traditions of death and burial as part of their Life, Death and the Rest fesitval. Fantastic as always to see DEATH.io discussing digital death

Here's a question to debate this gloomy Monday afternoon. If you could clone your dead pet would you? And if the answer is yes, now ask yourself would you clone a dead relative? Let us know your #MondayThoughts in the comments. #Cloning #MondayMotivation itv.com/news/2020-01-0…
