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 trade early morning one man(woman lol) staffing for getting to go to sleep before midnight xD Granted i miss all the “fun” stuff but my department head isn’t mean enough to keep me from 6am to 3am lol I’m pretty much the only person outside from 7am to doors opening Friday and Saturday corralling lines, making sure artist ally people get in and answer questions for at least 2 hours
Is it because Sarah’s the newest staffer, or because she can outrun the stench?
Because she’s the newest.
You can’t outrun that odor.
You can outrun the worst of it… but then you’re gasping for breath in the rest of it, and end up worse off.
Only time I ever went in to a dance was AI 2008. More or less because I was trashed out of my gorge.
But my GOD, that does not leave your nose.
I hope Sarah kicks Veronica’s ass after the con. She probably could, she’s probably secretly a badass and know many ways to kick one’s ass and make them pay.big time. She probably knows a little of every martial arts including boxing, jujitsu, tae kwon do, karate, Some wrestling, grappling. And only because it was in her blocked schedule growing up since she probably had Baby Boomer parents who did that kind of thing with their kids.
Anyways to get back on topic, I hope she kicks Veronica’s ass after this con.
Sarah is not skilled in any martial arts. Whatsoever. No idea why you’d think that.
She is a very good soccer player though.
She kind of gives me an idea that she can kick someone’s ass.
Well she’ll kick Veronica in the shin
Worked a winter con with a all-weekend Battletech room with minimal ventilation and closed doors. Made “dance stink” seem like roses somewhere around late afternoon Saturday. You could almost see it roll out when the door opened…
