"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.

is it suppose to be “Call it Quits” in the second panel? I’m really not understanding they statement “All it quits”
‘No matter how hard we fundraise’? Sounds like someone needs a musical montage!
…but yeah, no, it ain’t gonna happen.
There’s a part of me that can’t help but think of Dash-Con and its “magical” crowdfunding of $17,000 for hotel fees within an hour after the convention had already started.
Of course, I suspect full convention expenses can run much, much larger than that after you factor in guest fees, insurance payments, equipment costs, and all kinds of other little transactions. Running a convention is expensive!
