GodDAMN, Buffistas, this cannot be how we go. DXM is not somebody that goes lost for 4.5 months.
Everybody needs to designate a meat-space human that will tell us. Connie and Frankenbuddha were also people we had to Google obits to find after the fact.
I know some of us are hermit-like, but this fucking sucks. Even at your most tenuous connection to this community, you are known and valued and loved. Do not drift away from us.
I had no idea that was Betsy! I knew it was a Buffista but I think I thought it was Plei!
I'm mohmlet (like my gmail address). (It was a portmanteau of the cats I had at the time when I set up a different email address at the turn of the century for a work-related thing. Mo and Ohm.)
I'm so sad about DX.
I can ping Lee on Twitter.
Seriously. No matter how lurky and silent and self-deprecating you are--you are loved and you matter and we want to know and remember you. Please, please tell someone about b.org and make sure they know to contact the board. Please?
I have enough meatspace/b.org overlap that I have no doubt the board would be informed if something were to happen to me. But I agree with, Hec.
MedicGuy is FB friends with some of you and knows to let the board know if something happens. I reiterated that to him tonight.
(Feel free to friend him if you come across him. He’s one of us—without ever having seen Buffy or Angel—but he won’t join here unless it’s an emergency, to give me a space of my own. Just another reason why I love him.)
I’m assuming that probably Vortex would know, or my friend F (who we had thanksgiving wth Kristin and drew one year and was in Mexico with me and Brenda and her sis) would tell fb folks.
But yes, I feel awful that so much time had passed before we realized. But pandemic time has been weird, and I swear he was just posting in a thread the other day. Except the other day was apparently six months ago?
