do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all

If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

Like a wound, grief does not heal overnight. As the days pass, let the empty space fill with memories, let the sorrow be replaced with gratitude for the good times, the kind words, and most of all, the part of them that made you who you are.

Kahless tells us that loss is a bitter cup we all must drink from occasionally. The grief of loss is the other side of deep love. Love, no matter the pain later, is never wasted. When the pain of loss visits you, remember the love as well, so those departed will live on forever.

We honor those we have cherished by keeping them in our memories and singing songs of their glory. The pain you feel is not that of a scar, but the loss staking a claim in your heart that ensures you will never forget them.

I'm really fucking devastated right now so instead here's the picture Patrick Stewart posted nearly 13 years ago to the day with the caption "happy halloween" of him dressed as a giant lobster in a bathtub.
