"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.

But if we insist on knowing where they come from, then Trae would have to draw purses. Or something.
The fact that no one (except Lynn) ever seems to carry a bag or purse is the most telling indicator that this comic is drawn by someone who has lived their whole life wearing dude pants. 😛
I always just assumed concealed staple holsters hidden in the small of the back. In a cool climate, your sweater or vest covers it, but still permits a fairly quick draw, and the holster permits the attachment of reloader clips.
Or, they could be buying matched pairs of dueling staplers, carried into the meeting by their seconds, but that would be crazy.
I figured it was just the holdout staplers concealed with tape under the edge of the table, but maybe that’s just me.
I figured Sarah kept them in the ears of her hat.
That’s not strictly true–I never gave it a thought until this strip brought it up, then I figured she kept them in the ears of her hat.
I always assumed almost everyone had backpacks that were just offscreen. It IS largely at a college.
