I heard about minoanmiss at work

[conuly]

Which, to be honest, is probably for the best - I don't think sitting at home being sad would really have been better than being at work being sad.

I am not good at eulogies, and won't even try. I just miss her already.

(Note: This post was under lock in case it causes problems with her family, but now they know apparently.)

I still haven't decided whether I want to cry or throw up.

[conuly]

Yeah. It’s… just, fuck. She deserved more time.

[kshandra]

She absolutely did. But she was a fat Black woman - the deck was stacked against her in every possible direction. Because fuck the American healthcare system.

This is terrible. She was amazing. Thank you for letting me know. I'm going to go cry now.

I just had a few hours of sad when I got home before I passed out, and then woke up to more sad. *hugs*

I didn't know her, but she clearly had a lot of wonderful impacts on a lot of wonderful people here, and this seems like it has been a sudden and awful shock. I hope those who knew her are able to help each other deal with the grief and find ways to honor her memory.

I'm sorry to hear it. I wasn't following her but often enough saw her comments in other journals and/or links to her posts.
For anyone else, I did a search and found this thread with the news.

[siderea]

Thank you.

[julian]

Yeah. Me too.

[conuly]

I didn't realize how much I'd miss her until now I do.

[kshandra]

shit, shit, shit, fuck. Her chosen family explicitly did NOT want anything posted that wasn't under lock until after the memorial, lest her (evangelical, abusive) parents found out and tried to meddle. There hasn't been a post to agonyaunt yet for that reason, and she was very active there.

[gingicat]

Oh NO. *sends note to the community mods*
