Hello Makers and Shakers—
Amidst the posts of black squares on instagram this morning, there are also
underlying themes [#work and #keepmakingstuff] that I find very heartening. I
find the same in this conversation and community. Thank you each and all.
Keep working. Keep making stuff!

Dear Stellar and remarkable ILSSA operators and members,
Your email meant a great deal to me today as I am in shock and so deeply sad.
I hope to aspire to your attitude. Onward it must be but while I am in profound
mourning.
Thank you for being in touch with us at this time.

Dear ILSSA,
We are now keenly aware how delusional it is to assume. And so we realize that
not every one of you might be sharing in our grief right now. If that is the
case, just delete this message.
But to the rest of you, to the rest of us: we need to express our sadness this
morning.
Maybe this will be a galvanizing time. Maybe we can build new alliances, expand
our ideas of who is disenfranchised, try to find commonalities. But right now
this seems really hard, and frankly, really disappointing.
Regardless: it is clear that there is much work to be done, and we are glad we
get to contextualize this work with you.
Onwards.
yours,
the Co-Operators
