[Screen cap of a tweet from Poly Styrene’s official twitter account. The tweet reads, “We can confirm that the beautiful Poly Styrene, who has been a true  fighter, won her battle on Monday evening to go to higher places. PSTeam.”]
It’s so sad to think about Poly not being around anymore, but I like the way this tweet subverts the language around grieving/loss & changes the dialogue around Poly’s death from a “lost battle with cancer” to something else entirely.
