"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.

“your name really is scrappy for a while”?
Also since joining nobrandcon its been one “Your real name is what?” after another.
I can’t even begin to tell you how it is in furry conventions. Just about everyone has a Fursona with a completely different name, and then nicknames play in and out of those. Some nicknames are yours. Some are your Fursona’s.
It was years before I knew that “Bennie” was really Phil.
My assistant Director is “Jazzy” or “Foxish” or “Disco” to various people. His email says he’s “Tyler”. His real name is Tim, and I had to go double-check that just now.

Squall, Vash, ThunderGod, V-Chan, D-Chan, Bard… I’m bad with names to start with, so when nick names start getting thrown in… known some of these people for years, and still not sure what their ‘real’ name is.
