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!

Sounding less like a Camper and more like a Passed Out Drunk.
You can usually smell the difference. Also, I did once have to deal with a camper who slept this soundly.
I resorted to kicking their leg until they got up (I suspect they were awake for longer, but were pretending to still be asleep, hoping I’d give up and leave them alone)
You know, somehow none of the times I did Video Room duty ever involved dealing with this. And I had a nice poking stick ready just in case!
Hey there’s a song I know. That’s a good one, All Star that is.
Her mistake was the musical selection. It’s much too gentle. I mean, it was in the Shrek soundtrack, so he might be dreaming that’s what’s playing in the film room.
Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” works quite well in this situation. So does “Fire” by Arthur Brown.
I’d go with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Very high chance he’ll wake up in time to headbang along with the bridge. Everyone does.
KISS’s “Rock and Roll All Night (And Party Every Day) would wake the dead!
I use speed metal to rouse my campers from their mooching slumber.
Speed metal has a very soothing quality to me — I often fall asleep listening to it…
I’ve unintentionally fell asleep in the anime room.
..while I was the volunteer watching it. The midnight-4am ‘Hentai shift’. I made it to about 1am.
Folks poked me awake when it was time to switch out Laserdiscs; I did, then promptly passed out again. Luckily, it was a verrrry laid-back con. And anyone awake to see Henta at 3am in the era of Laserdiscs was not a troublemaker.
Also I apparently can’t say the word ‘hen tai’ in the comments. (o_O)
…I didn’t specifically ban it. Must be built into WordPress by default.
I edited your post so the spelling is fixed…
