PsychicVampire was at the Ghost Ship

[CyaNitrate]

It just struck me it's the second year in a row we lost a member around the holidays. But struck equally really hard for different reasons, but this shit is so sad. I'm sad I didn't get to interact with her more, just the occasional talk about drum machines and applicable fuzzes for them.

Cheers to the best Internet community I've ever known

This was the first thing I thought of...I didn't have any personal interactions with either, but ILF is family and it is terrible all the same. Rest in Peace.

New Years resolution: aim for more irl ILF hangs.

Hope it's cool to do this, but here's one more sample of PV from a PM conversation:

Thought a lot about what you said while i was camping in the woods with 350-odd queer and trans people, running sound for what is ostensibly a music festival and dance party, but might just be an excuse to get stupid and fist a stranger on top of a car or do a BDSM scene in a barn. I spent two hours alone one morning, wondering if i'm actually still an anarchist, since i feel such a deep and intense personal disaffection with everything that word has come to mean in my communities, and i never felt very actively concerned about projects that amount to social work. It doesn't really matter, but shedding identities in favor of mutability seems more interesting.

Had a long conversation about trying to build the spaces where happiness can be found more commonly and expanding those moments, it turned into talk about joy vs happiness. Whatever the case, i think you're right, and am really, truly thankful you said what you did. I should choose joy and happiness.

I hope you're doing well. I'm reading things and trying to figure out the upcoming next step, but i think June and July are going to be good months. Have a good day.

So: anarchism, fisting, genuine expression of complex struggles and emotions.

You'll be missed.

Goddamnit. She really did have a way with words. Her posts always stuck out like gold.

She was one of my favorite members here, she had a spirit and wit I greatly admired. I regret never telling her that. I'll be rereading her posts all weekend to remember her. It is infuriating and disgusting that the news would disrespect her memory by refusing to recognize her gender and you can bet I'm going to take action.

I don't know what else to say, I am shocked.

Yeah, that's pretty fucked up. I wonder why. Best case it's ignorance, worst case it's intentional.

[behndy]

I didn't know she lived/moved out here. I also always enjoyed her posts.

This is all really fucking sad.

I'm pretty sure they go by their birth certificates. Of course, if the journalists knew they were trans and still went with that info, it's fairly fucked up. Then you start adding in any possible family who opposed their child being transgendered and would like for their grown up but now deceased children to be referred to by their birth name and you've got a whole soup of fucked up.

[Disarm D'arcy]

That's why the right to documentation changes, no questions asked should be easy. Just like in Argentina, where you can choose female or male on administrative forms and get documentation that reflects your choices no questions asked. It's only genitalia FFS why does it have to be such a big deal?

Yeah, that's pretty much my thoughts as well.

[frodog]

No. Nonononono.

Such a beautiful person. We exchanged some messages before, and I'd been wondering where she had been lately... Not this fate.

I don't know. Hugs y'all. Lost for words.

[MrNovember]

Such terrible and sad news. I'm so sorry for your loss

[Mudfuzz]

This jus sad and depressing and fucked up

[GuitarSlim101]

This is awful. Always enjoyed her posts.
