June 17, 20251 yr RIP Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, an innocent bystander shot and killed while peacekeepers were pursuing someone with an AR-15, at the No Kings rally in Salt Lake City.

June 27, 20251 yr RIP P. Adams Sitney, film scholar of the Avant-Garde “There’s in the art world in America now a deep hatred of the idea of originality and inspiration, a deep hatred of revelation,” he said in 2015. “There’s some ridiculous notion that art can be democratic. Art is the least democratic of all things!” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/movies/p-adams-sitney-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.SE8.tPES.7HF2tsiog1ch&smid=url-share

July 7, 2025Jul 7 Holy shit. One of my closest friends from college was murdered not far from where she lived. Sunny was one of the toughest people I've ever met. I can scarcely process this.

July 16, 2025Jul 16 (Edited for pronouns) RIP to poet (and more) Andrea Gibson. I hadn't really listened to them, only HEARD OF them. But with their death, I watched and listened. And....they were STUNNING! I watch several of their talks/poems and often times I cry, for their pain & beauty. Examples: Edited July 17, 2025Jul 17 by skullguise
July 17, 2025Jul 17 Dear lord. Today's news is insane, and leaves me with more questions than answers. Sunny was a tough woman. Not superhuman, but definitely world wise and not easily intimidated. She grew up in a harsh environment and knew how to fend for and defend herself. There's some missing piece of this story we still don't know. Is this kid a physical giant? Did she know him? I suspect she did. Did he manage to sneak up on her? This would be an insane story in any location, but in a quiet town of ~2000, it boggles the mind.
July 18, 2025Jul 18 Not really any new news, but Sunshine was mentioned in the NYTimes today https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/maine-arrest-paddleboarder-homicide.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XU8.U18S.PmIKYhI8LmAu&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare (Gift article) Edited July 18, 2025Jul 18 by blessingx
