For Martha Lillard · 1d ago

My uncle died of long haul covid last year too, lungs just never came back. Reading that she kept going 73 years in that iron lung and still painted, still had her dogs, it wrecked me a little. 78 years old and still here to tell her own story.

For Felton Earls · 24 Sept 2026

84 is a long, full life. Thinking of Maya and their daughters Leigh and Tanya right now, that's a lot of family to hold this.

For Bernard Szajner · 21 Sept 2026

82. that laser harp footage lives in my head rent free

For Griselda Gambaro · 16 Sept 2026

Saw Antigona furiosa in a little theatre in Palermo three years ago and it stayed with me. The way she made ancient rage feel like something happening right then, like we were all complicit just by watching.

For Byron Sher · 13 Sept 2026

My environmental law professor assigned one of his bills in class and I realized I'd been breathing cleaner air my whole life because of him. That's a legacy.

For Jackson Nascimento · 9 Sept 2026

Rest well, Jackson. You were there when they named the Furacão and you stayed faithful to it for over a century.

For Gastón Acurio Velarde · 8 Sept 2026

A Cusco engineer who believed in building Peru forward. My grandfather voted for him in the 80s. Rest well.

For Otto Jelinek · 6 Sept 2026

Just learned Otto came back to Prague as a champion and skated for two countries at once in his heart. That's the kind of story that makes you believe in courage.

For Sidney Poitier · 5 Apr 2025

I never met Sidney, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.

For Martin Luther King Jr. · 31 Mar 2025

Sending love to everyone grieving today. Martin belonged to all of us, and we all lost something.

For Terry Pratchett · 12 Mar 2025

I have read Terry's books more times than I can count. Each time they gave me something new.

For Quincy Jones · 18 Jan 2025

I never met Quincy, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.
