Back in the Victorian era, families took photos of their relatives after death as a way to honor and remember them. While this practice seems particularly morbid and creepy by today’s standard, it’s pretty fascinating to explore it in the context of the time. If you want to view authentic postmortem photography, check out the Thanatos Archive at https://thanatos.net/. A listener sent us some of her handmade jewelry, and it’s beautiful. Please check out her work and keep her in mind for gifts for yourself or others, and support a fellow WMMM listener! You can see her work on instagram at @erinrebeccajewelry or look her up on Facebook, and she has a new web site launching in November. Want more content?
