awful news from the survivor community. sonja christopher, memorrable for being the first person ever voted off survivor, and a strange sort of legend for that, passed today.

recently rewatched the first season of survivor with a fellow Hexbear who had never seen it. they quickly attatched with sonja and had a huge reaction to their boot. just one episode and her loveability came across that much. she came across and sweet as hell. and while it wasnt mentioned on the show, she is also an elder queer, a lesbian.

seems she lived a long full life though. so i cant be too sad. this was a loss i knew was coming eventually, the other two older contestants from the first season each had passed awhile ago, but it still hurts not that its happened.

rest in peace sonja christopher. you will be remembered by my community.
