Marina Sirtis' (Star Trek) husband just passed away at 61.
Bad time for Trek.
Delete the Hog Pit. It'll be fun.
I really don't understand He-Man -

My condolences to her but...for a moment my brain went "JONATHAN FRAKES DIED!?" because I'm a nerd.
-
@Jaded I thought Sirtis died when I read it.

@Caggles Nooooooo.
-
@Caggles An amazing and inspiring person whom, along with David Attenborough, sparked in me a lifelong interest in conservation. Very sad news.

Philip McKeon - Tommy on 'Alice'. Totally dating myself there.

Maria Creveling, aka Remilia, age 24
First woman to play professional League of Legends at the top level and one of the only openly LGBT pro players ever.
Mental health is important, everyone.
-
@Selira I felt for her so much - she got a LOT of hate and threats. People bitching about her transition, and digging up old pictures and just.. lots of horrible things that made me angry. Then her team was SHITE, got banned for their horrible treatment of their players. But she was still kicking around the league, for Flyquest and in the latin league. I had hoped everything was going to get better and she'd be back in the LCS
-
@Macha Got banned for their horrible treatment of her in particular. The stories that came out afterward of what Badawi did to her...
Yeah, I feel horrible for her. She was easily a rising star, and I can see a world where if people had been supportive instead of terrorizing her, she could have gone so far. I'll miss her weebtastic streams.
-
Is there any evidence of it being intentional? 24 is young, but people can and do die unexpectedly at that age. DVT was actually my first thought when I read the article.
-
@Rinel All I have heard so far is that it was in her sleep. I have heard stories, but nothing with concrete sources, of course, that her transition surgery did not go well, and she was on painkillers.
-
-
@Macha She herself posted on her Twitter that her GRS was botched and she was dealing with incredible pain daily. It's part of what I was referring to with Badawi. Definitely worth reading up on, the situation was an absolute horror show for her in Renegades.
@Rinel There's no proof it was intentional. There's no proof it wasn't. She "passed away peacefully in her sleep" - which can mean a lot of things. But she was deeply depressed, and things had recently taken a very hard turn for her. If nothing else, the mental health conversation is so important to have with the 41% attempted suicide rate. If she wasn't depressed from the horrific things she suffered - if her GRS hadn't been botched - she likely wouldn't have been on the same medications, and even an accidental death would be far less likely.
Not one more.
-
@Selira I never followed her on Twitter (there's only so much Twitter I can handle), so I hadn't seen her tweet. Now I'm just more angry on her behalf.
-
Poor Remilia. She was so young.
