Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, mostly of people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).

There’ll be a roundup like this occasionally, until I’m on the list myself.

    Thank you for doing what you can to make sure those “forgotten people” are remembered and mourned.

      Homeless people are people. When I say that, though, the response is usually, “Yeah, but…”.
