This is the last post by DX, that I could find in Natter. [link]
I didn't look in other threads. Going through Natter and wondering if every post was the last one was too sad.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That’s only a day before he died. Looks like it was (as it always is, of course) sudden.

Oh man, not DX. This is really hard to take.
Are we about ready for a Buffista Memorial Grove to remember and honor our late friends?

I can't see the tribute page Daniel linked. Ed's obituary is here, for anyone in the same boat. [link]

There's only so much I can process now. Another one of us gone is... too much. Too soon. I am so sorry. I love you all. Take care, dears.
Everybody needs to designate a meat-space human that will tell us.
Got one designated for all of my online communities since the death of a friend in another community in 2008.
And yes, maybe it's a good idea to reach out to folks we haven't heard from in a while.
Dammit, this year. Dammit.

I'm angry at myself for losing any sense of time and not wondering if he was okay.
Me as well. It seems like it was only couple of weeks ago that I last saw Ed post about classes at his school. How the hell was that way back in June?
Jesus Fucking Christ, where's the fast forward skip button so we can get this garbage fire of a year over with already?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I’m having such a hard time processing all of this loss right now — first the loss of an amazing man months ago, and we never knew — that’s just heartbreaking. Now, our beloved amyth entering hospice. Then also reading about those with other grief, like what Laura is feeling about the tragic rift in her family or Hec’s fear for his sister and meara feeling so isolated and alone and Cashmere’s concern about a shifty mammogram reading. None of it is good. It is nights like this when I really do wish we had a Buffista island where we could meet up and hide from reality for a bit and pat each’s heads and sip hot cocoa and say “Poor, sweet Baboo.”

Oh no. DX! Aw, no, shoot. Ed was so sweet and kind and smart. The obit says donations to the heart society. Must've been a heart attack? 67 isn't very old. Aw Ed. He kindly burned a bunch of Kinks CDs for me because I didn't know their music. Must've been before youtube, pandora, etc. I'm so sorry.

Oh, no. How awful, and I'm sorry you had to find out that way, msbelle.
