As confirmed all over, including in comments on my last entry by people who knew her, yes, Joanna Russ passed away. Here's the BoingBoing notice.

Warning: the BoingBoing story includes a quote from Teresa Nielsen Hayden wherein she manages to be a dick about fanfic while also being lovely about her friendship with Russ. For the record, Russ thought fanfic was awesome... because of the sex. I'm certain she also noticed and cared about "images and patterns and literary theory" in the Kirk/Spock, as Hayden says, but she was specifically delighted that women were writing queer porn for each other.

RIP, you fabulous lady.

Have bought a seed account! I suppose that means I'm now here for good.
