Names in common with lost friends

Every time I launch Thunderbird to read my RSS feeds, I’m reminded that not one, but two people I follow have the same names as friends who are no longer with us. I noticed this on Mastodon too, before I took my current social media hiatus. It’s… oddly nice to see them still going? Even though I know it’s not “them”. By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-09-04.
