Admin Post: In Memory of Oshun

[dawn_felagund]

We have sad news to share: Our longtime member and friend, @heartofoshun, passed away today. Oshun was an early member of the SWG and the lead writer for our Character of the Month biographies, as well as a brilliant author who wrote Maedhros/Fingon before "Russingon" was a word and when it was still slightly scary to (at least publicly) do so.

Oshun was an amazing friend: always with the time to comment or reach out, welcoming to newcomers, and with a bold sense of humor. She worked for social justice causes for all of her life and had so much love and care for the people around her.

We've set up a GoFundMe to help Oshun's family with funeral and other expenses at this sorrowful time. She leaves behind a daughter, son, and grandchildren. If you wish to donate, you can do so here. Signal boosts are also appreciated.

Oshun, we will miss you and love you always. ❤️
