captain hook: what’s it called?

I AM HEARTBROKEN.

It’s not like you knew them at all. You didn’t know them. They weren’t family, weren’t a friend. Just someone who you knew of, knew their work, whatever. But it still hits you a little too hard.

as with most jewish people who meet their untimely death while in a position of celebrity, i see a lot of well meaning people wishing cameron boyce “rest in peace.” and while i hold no one who says this in contempt or see it as disrespectful unless it’s a very purposeful act of erasing his identity, i’d like to remind everyone that “rest in peace” is an improper way of honoring the dead. the proper wish is “may his memory be a blessing,” and i ask that everyone be mindful to use this instead.

cameron boyce was a talented actor and generous heart, with a dazzling smile that i enjoyed growing up with even as i grew away from the franchise which let him shine. not much older than me, he left his mark on the world with the charity work he did and the love he had. it’s a sad day to see someone go, but i hope that his memory be a blessing for all of us.
