I've had similar situations happen. Sometimes the anniversary of a celeb's death will be the topic on some social media, and I'll realize, for the first time, that the person has been gone for years.

“Our brother Robert, who became our brother Alexis, who became our sister Alexis, who became our brother Alexis, passed this morning September 11, at 12:32 am,”

....?

RIP

 

[Teelie]

According to one of the reports I read Alexis had lately identified as "gender suspicious" so yet another term to throw on the "what the hell" pile of gender identification profiles people keep inventing.

Edward Albee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright behind “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,” has died at the age of 88.

According to the Associated Press, Albee died at his home in Montauk, New York.

Albee’s groundbreaking play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” was selected for the Pulitzer Prize in 1963, but was denied by the selection board due to its vulgarity. He later went on to win three Pulitzers throughout his career for “A Delicate Balance” in 1967, “Seascape” in 1975 and “Three Tall Women” in 1994.

Canadian writer W.P. Kinsella, whose 1982 novel “Shoeless Joe” was the basis for the beloved Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams,” has died at age 81.

The news was posted on Kinsella’s official website, but there were no details of when or how he died.

During his lifetime, he published nearly 30 books of fiction, nonfiction and poetry — but he is best known for his writing about baseball.
