"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.

*takes a long satisfying drag on a cig* Goooooooood.
Oh, that’s evil. Eevil. This way Lynn gets her version of events out to the Unagi Con staff before Jim can. Not that Jim won’t try to spin it his way, of course.
That there is eloquent vengeance as its best.
*at its
It means word gets out to whoever monitors contact@unagicon.com. If it’s Jim, it’s Jim who gets the word first. “contact” looks like an address given out for all inbound communications to unagi con. It doesn’t look like an alias for the entire permanent staff.
Given that Unagi con is a bit chaotic behind the scenes, one wonders if and how long the contact address goes unchecked.
Question though: Shouldn’t Bork Con staff have Bork Con e-mail addresses? Surely they aren’t using personal e-mail for con business. It’s usually best to keep that kind of stuff separate.
Yes, but this shouldn’t come from Lynn@Unagi or even Director@Unagi, it needs to come from a more generic account or another staffer so that Jim can’t blame it on “Lynn’s sour grapes”. Staff@Unagi works for that.
(and I agree, her email needs to go to anyone but Jim. Contact probably doesn’t just go to him, but in her place I’d be CCing everyone on both boards so there was no doubt it would go through with a clear record.)
I think John was referring to Glenn and Maggie’s email addresses, not Lynn’s. They probably would want to have generic/business email addresses for each director or major position in the convention org, ones that aren’t personal/private addresses, either a fixed account on the convention server or a remailer/pointer that can be passed on. I think technically I have a generic address for the convention I work with, something like Tech@*.com; but since the passwords and access are always FUBAR, I never use it.
That said, it is notable that the domain for the above addresses is owned by Trae, so Trae doesn’t run afoul of sending traffic to or needing to procure the domains Bork-Con or BorkCon (*.com *.org *.biz etc etc)
Trae, 50+ year old punks would never use the expression 5eva for anything
You assume Glenn set up his own email address.
“…your your convention director…” Err? I suppose it’s realistic, too much anticipation of the burn makes for serious typo territory.
Normally I would correct that sort of thing, but I figure she hasn’t hit send yet 😛
My headcanon was correct!
she should have CC’d all the staffs personal emails
What is pmneauclaire.com supposed to represent? As of now it’s an actual website called “PMN Agent Login” with almost no content save a username and password field and a style that makes it look like it was put up in 2006, which is the earliest copyright date at the bottom.
It’s a domain I own from a client who hired me to make a website and never paid me in like 2006, and I use it as a placeholder.
The fake login page is for when I try to phish spammers
Amazing.
