A Sad Announcement
Hello, everyone,
I know I’m not here much any more, but I have tragic news to share. I just learned that a good friend to me, and to many others here, @katisatotalnerd, passed away in January due to an illness. You may have known her as a movie reccer, a writer, an avid podcast fan, or just a good friend. I originally met Kat about a decade ago in @copperbadge and @knottahooker‘s movie streams, which were a big part of my entry into active fandom life, and she’s been a friend ever since.
Please do reblog this if you can get to get the word around--I’m not sure if Kat had other friend groups on other social media that I’m unaware of, and I don’t believe her illness gave her time to notify friends on other platforms or do any kind of digital legacy planning. If anyone is aware of any wishes or directives that are contrary to this post please reach out to me ASAP.
If you would like me to pass on a message to her family please reply here or DM it to me and I’d be happy to put it in the card I’m sending. Her family has requested that donations in her honor be given to the Kenton Public Library Foundation. We’re tentatively planning a movie stream in her honor sometime in the next week or two, so I’ll post about that once we figure out a date.
If I were Kat I’m sure I’d have the perfect movie quote to round out this post, but alas, I’m just me, so I’ll close by saying again that I’m deeply sorry for this loss, and I wish you all comfort and peace in this difficult time.
