STOP FUCKING SMOKING YOU ARE A MORTICIAN YOU KNOW WHAT POPCORN LUNG LOOKS LIKE

losing someone to suicide is a unique hell and i commend victor for being so candid both about that experience and who alex was

i’m sorry FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS??? NON NEGOTIABLE??? no thanks i’ll diy this one!

slight correction: messianics are not jewish, they’re christian. victor is correct about the jewish burial practices that he mentions, but a “true” (read: observant/halacha) jewish burial is much more involved than the anecdote included and likely will never cross victor’s desk

i’m so sorry but i can’t feel the full emotional impact of this chapter knowing its subject was a wealthy big game hunter who literally died on a safari in namibia. something something rejoicing in the pointless killing of endangered species juxtaposed with their killer’s own peaceful death in his sleep.

my tummy hurts 👍🏼

i forgot north dakota and minnesota are right next to each other
