muting the xoxo hashtag :( somehow having had a ticket (and travel booked!!) and then not being able to use it because of family medical emergencies feels worse than I think it would've felt to never have gotten a ticket in the first place, and I get so bummed anytime I see people post about it. esp bc this is the second Last Ever conference I've had to miss due to circumstances out of my control, I had a ticket to strangeloop last year for a whole year and then had to cancel 😭
