For Vladlen Dozortsev · 5d ago
Didn't expect to feel this hit so hard for someone I only knew through a Wikipedia rabbit hole last week. I'd just been reading about The Last Visitor and how it was one of the most staged plays in the whole USSR in 86, then saw this morning he'd died at 87. Wild that a poet ended up one of the deputies who actually voted for Latvia's independence in 1990.
For Raoul Vaneigem · 9d ago
92 years old. My professor assigned The Revolution of Everyday Life in a seminar and it rewired how I thought about work and boredom. Thinking of Thérèse Dubrule and the kids tonight.
For Dax Cua · 16 Sept 2026
48 is no age at all. Praying for his family right now, his wife and children have a long road ahead.
For Karl Corino · 9 Sept 2026
Transit was how my parents first heard real voices from the other side. They recorded it on cassette, passed them around. Karl Corino gave us literature as resistance, as connection, long before the wall came down.
For Javad Mojabi · 5 Sept 2026
I read Night of the Locust in translation three years ago and it changed how I thought about satire as resistance. Javad Mojabi showed me that humour could be a weapon and a kindness at once. The world needed more of what he was doing.
For Enos Mafokate · 5 Sept 2026
Rest well, Kgosi ya Dipere. A man who broke barriers on horseback and opened doors for so many. Your legacy transcends sport.
For Yvette Roudy · 20 Aug 2026
Reading about her path from Bordeaux to the Assembly, from typist to legislator, and how she kept saying a ministry should work toward its own disappearance because equality shouldn't need a special office. That vision stays with me.
For Connie Francis · 5 Sept 2025
My grandmother played 'Who's Sorry Now' for me when I was small. She said Connie opened the door for women like us. I'm grateful for that legacy, and for her resilience through everything.
