A man got kicked out of hospice for dying too slowly, and a neuroscientist explains why your brain hides your death from you (and what the longevity bros get wrong). Those and more stories in our prelaunch issue #2. Read it, and send us your thoughts 🙏 gravesite.media

SO excited to host GraveSite's first HellFireside Chat next week. Expect super candid, practical, and human conversation since the heart stuff so often gets in the way of the logistics. (Not speaking from experience or anything. 🙃)

Our founder Delaney lost her parents 3 years and two ICU rooms apart. Her grief and confusion over how to navigate these tremendous sudden losses sparked a question: What if a newsroom existed to cover the stories of how we die, mourn, and carry each other?

A new wave of women-led “beauty horror” films is putting beauty standards, and the backlash against feminism, under the knife. From The Substance to The Ugly Stepsister, these stories reveal the dark politics of the body. New essay by @delaneyrebernik.com on Design Observer.
Mirror, mirror: The rise of ‘beauty horror’ amid today’s antifeminist backlash - DesignObserver
"Beauty horror," the subgenre of "The Substance" and "The Ugly Stepsister," meets feminist backlash and critiques societal expectations.
