Jesse had some kind of kidney emergency, not full failure but some serious danger. (This is how Justin died, in connection with his diabetes. Carolyn died shortly after having to plan a funeral for the third of her three children. Can you imagine?) It strikes me as tragic that Jesse felt that he had to make some sort of public announcement clarifying that the kidney issue wasn’t brought on by street drugs nor by a suicide attempt. But these are the assumptions people make when one lives a certain kind of life and it isn’t like there’s not a cooling trail of bodies behind him, passively and actively having chosen death over suffering. Jesse is almost fifty now (fuck) and he’s still a teenager in my head. An idiot teenager who had some sort of prescription mishap that hasn’t been clearly explained and honestly, I do not want to know. Jesse is someone I love but I also find him exhausting.
