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.

I always read and appreciate these posts. Thanks
Why, thank you, kind stranger!
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…”.
I can’t even imagine somebody having a rebuttal to that.
