bring out your dead,
once weekly, usually on Tuesdays
Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits for 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.
