Tomorrow, April 1st 2025, we have a massively important State Supreme Court election here in the state of Wisconsin. It will decide the balance of the state supreme court, and it's vitally important that we get Susan Crawford elected. Elon Musk has literally poured millions of dollars into Brad Schimel's campaign, and we are fighting for our lives here. I've already voted, and if you haven't yet and you live here... make sure you do.
But no matter what happens tomorrow, no matter what the result is, the fight is far from over. ICE agents are grabbing people off the streets, our public institutions are being systematically destroyed, and our international and diplomatic relations with historically close allies are just, honestly, fucked right now. Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and trans and queer rights have been under steady attack by the right. As a nonbinary person and member of the trans community, I'm genuinely scared for a lot of my friends right now.
But we fight. We stand up. We survive.
If we accept defeat, we are handing victory to those who want us dead. By living and fighting, we carry on to the next day and then the day after that. I know I posted it right after the election last November, but there's a pretty famous Joe Hill quote everyone should keep in mind: "Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
Go out, hug your friends. Build a local community if you can, and get involved in your local politics. Make sure you call your Reps and Senators every day if you can, and for pete's sake fucking vote.
We can make it as long as we don't stop fighting.
Remember that on April 5th at 11AM Eastern/10AM Central you can join me for the Critical Thinking Witches' Collective's April Brew virtual event! Attendance is free, and you can register here!

I read the comic before I saw the title. “Laziest coup ever” made me laugh heartily, I’ve actually been in a situation similar to this with a non-profit I once worked with. I became the entire Board for about a day and had only started as a volunteer a couple weeks prior. Outstanding level of incompetence they displayed.
I want to see Perry’s face now. I feel like there could be a fight down the road which may involve Lynn resolving the issue her way. This looks like a funny story that’s going to unfold into 1 hell of drama and by doing so it’s going to progress Bork Con’s recruitment a lot.
Different places have different rules. I know at our university, a Club needed a President, Vice, and Secretary. Think was 4 additional students who needed to be involved to create a club. Not sure the requirements for continuing one, nor what happens if a club fails to meet the requirements.
Well this is also taking place in late January, so the club was active in the fall when it scheduled the meetings. I was originally going to have a line about the constitution not mentioning a minimum quorum, but Lynn’s wall of text was pretty long in panel 2 already.
And technically Ruth just replaced the President. Any other club officers technically still have their positions.
(When I was writing this I actually pulled my alma mater’s Anime Club constitution and read it to check if this story was plausible, and it totally could happen there!)
Works for me. So long as none of the other club members (former members?) object, could go quite smoothly. If they do object however, could make for a bumpy ride.
