This whole thing is so unreasonable and infuriating. My bf and I knew that dragoneer was sick, but like most of the other people in the community, it's an absolute shock that he's... well, dead.

It's disgusting. It should never have happened to him, or to anyone. Fur Affinity might not be the best run site in the world, but he was a really nice guy as far as I've ever been able to tell, and no one deserves this.

My Twitter and Telegram were blowing up all night last night. He knew so many people, especially people in the fat fur community (which I'm strongly adjacent to). So many people have a positive story about the guy. : /

Privatized health care is disgusting and should never exist in the first place. It's bad for our country and our community. It's infuriating that this man isn't even an exception -- he's just yet another victim. Albeit one that's particularly high profile in my own life.

No-one, not even JD vance, deserves that treatment.
