"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

uh oh i know that look artists HATE that look it means your about to be stuck doing a lot of work for no pay
…soooooo just like everyone else on a con staff, then?
A good artist you can exploit is much harder to come by.
You never let them go.
Not without recruiting their replacement at least.
Artist rule NUMBER 1 Never work for free
Artist rule NUMBER 2 NEVER! WORK! FOR! FREE!
Well, it gets a bit different with entirely volunteer run cons, as no one gets paid from the con director on down. So while I’m usually all gung ho “pay artists!” normally, I don’t feel bad asking for free art from staffers for the con,
You jus have to convince them to actually do it. 😛
Hey, I resemble that remark. And that grin :-]
Funny the words badge art come to mind…
Also where the heck are they going? and is that suzuki?
They’re driving to Yakisoba Con (it’ll be more obvious tomorrow, but it’s in the chapter heading).
And the SUV is an old Toyota RAV4.
