Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
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!

Damn Lynn is so awesome!
I didn’t know she was Hispanic until now.
Lynn Guadalupe Baxter is the daughter of an Irish immigrant father and a Mexican-American Mother.
I’m not sure how much I’ve inserted into the last seven years of canon, but I know I mentioned her Mexican heritage for the first time back at the tail end of I Hate November in Chapter Two.
(Lynn was originally created for another comic I was working on in 2003 that I never finished or released. It was called Re-entry and was meant to be a much more serious comic about a couple of characters putting their lives back together after hitting rock bottom. For that project, I did an indepth timeline and bible for each character.
Re-entry stuff isn’t canon, but I updated her timeline in 2006 when I recycled Lynn for a project called “Full Circle.” When I started UnCONventional I used the 2006 character bible for Lynn, and have stuck to it pretty closely)
Little vicious to pull on a lowly desk clerk, on the other hand, he should have been looking for alternative solutions the moment he knew there was a problem.
Yeah, vicious and probably overkill. On the other hand, this problem should never have happened in the first place, so I can’t blame her for going with the nuclear option to fix it.
nice when you can play that many cards from your hand on one turn and just WRECK your opponent
I can just see what’s going through the front desk clerk’s mind….”uh….uh….oh, FELGERCARB!!!!!!”
I work as a front desk clerk and I’ve had this happen…the ones that I REALLY love are the ones that reserve a room online only a half-hour before arriving at the hotel…
Grin. And then just being Lynn seems to be sufficient.
