The Wikipedia page is going back and forth between entries and deletes. It doesn’t say anything about death at the moment.

Saw the announcement on her Instagram account. Really shocking news. She was one of my inspirations in starting a web presence.

@odd The only source at the moment is a post on her Instagram, followed up by a seeming confirmation by her ex-husband. Not enough sources for Wikipedia.

But unless someone has hacked her account and is playing a tasteless joke, it seems to be true. God, I feel for her children.

@adders I understand. So sad.

@manton ? Where did you hear about her passing?

@manton That’s sad! I used to read dooce all. the. time.

@cdevroe I first heard it on Bluesky, linked to her Instagram profile. Wikipedia was also updated but keeps changing, apparently.

@manton Ugh.

oh no 💔

wow! 😮 I used to read her blog many years ago. Still visited from time to time..

@manton Wow. That’s a name I haven’t thought of in a long time. Tragic to hear of her challenges in recent years and her passing.

oh no. I really didn’t want it to be suicide, but it is. Very very sad. Wow.

Sad. Her’s was one of the first blogs I read religiously.
