"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.

The last time Noble got a line was in 2016. It was ‘Jesus.’
Her money, her idea
No, it is her money, she should not be running the con, way too many chances of conflicts of interest.
Looks at *name of con redacted*.
That can go both ways though. No skin in the game sometimes amounts to “my way even when it makes no sense economically.”
…Well who else? Punch all the Nazis, no restraint. Only legal ramifications.
No, an anti-hate speech policy that is actually enforced by the con director. And a couple of big dudes on staff who just happen to be the ones called on to escort anyone off the premises who becomes an issue. Terrence would have been far less likely to object if the anime nerd staffer talking to him was a 300 lb construction worker for his day job.
Lynn is the obvious choice, but likely should be some sort of Due Process. May want to check with the BorkCon charter or whatever paperwork there is. Likely something as simple as “All in favor of Lynn being in charge? All opposed? Motion passes.”
So I decided not to spend a couple strips explaining this, and I’ll toss in some dialogue to clarify later, but this is all being done within the rules of the org. This meeting has a quorum and two board members present (Ruth as Treasurer and Lynn as Secretary)
Works for me.
