My Updates

The sun will rise and we will try again

Hi, my name is Ruby and I'm hoping you'll join me and my friends to watch the sun rise on a new day. This event is especially meaningful for me, as my 40th year has proven that it gets better when you push on through. To celebrate fi ding a healthy balance and not giving into suicidal ideation,  I have gotten to spend this year with incredible friends and following the music and fandoms I love. So for this Darkness Into Light, I wanted to combine the friendship and good works of my Ghostbuster cosplay group, the Crossrip Response Unit, with my Twenty One Pilots family in the Skeleton Clique and invite both along with one powerful shared goal: Stay Alive. 

I've been following the Clancy world Tour around Europe, and my last show is in Dublin. I'm very proudly participating in, Darkness Into Light the following morning. We all get together to watch the sun rise, "and we will try again."

The event is the dawn after the Dublin show, on May 10th - and I'd be especially honored by any members of the Clique who might like to come celebrate staying alive or remember someone along with us.

For me this is naturally an extension of the Clique, and for this tour especially. I'm celebrating my 40th birthday - a number I never expected to reach. I pushed on through, and for 13 years now Twenty One Pilots and their fans have been a big part of that. Now, I just want to help as many people who have been there as I can. At the Risk of Feeling Dumb, I'm checking in.

It'll be a great place to reflect and maybe make a few friends. If you are coming to the show, know someone who is, or just want to join fans who get you and do something positive - join us!

When not picking items off the bucket list, I have the extreme fortune to suit up and work alongside a group called Crossrip Response Unit. We attend Conventions and Events engaging with people and raising funds for various causes. Getting to spend my free time helping others empowers me, as making a difference can have such an impact on others. I know what it is like to need help, so I want to return that energy every chance I get.

Thanks for reading. If you like Ghostbusters, Twenty One Pilots, or just want to make a difference please consider donating and joining us on May 10th. The funds donated offer help and support to anyone making the call, and can save lives. It starts with all of us.

Above all else, stay alive friends. You are valuable and loved 🖤

Thank you to my Sponsors
