@ladyteruki@mastodon.social Right? It's not planning a suicide (or a murder, since people also have that kind of reaction when I talk about my plans in case of my partner's death)
If the worst happens, things are taken care of and the survivors don't have to deal with everything on top of grief. (Or, for the survivors who can't take care of anything like Tippy or my kids, we won't have to worry about them during our last moments)
If not... So what? Nothing bad happened, we had less to worry about at the times when it seems like something could go wrong, it's a win/win situation!
And around me the people most worried seeing me taking that kind of precautions are the most anxious about their own mortality.

@Neea@corneill.es : yes ! That has been my conclusion too, talking about MY death has implication about THEIR death. I also think that, in the way I frame the conversation about how low my life expectancy probably is, noone really wants to confront the "dark" side of privilege. We talk about it in life, but not in death (...they're the same thing, but you see what I mean).
