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!

“Garbage Person?” She’s improving. It used to be “Garbage Monster.”
Then again, maybe the Grouch Anti-Defamation League complained.
Scrappy’s paraphrasing.
She’s used a wide variety and spectrum of garbage based insults most likely.
For reference, their first meeting.

The next strip he talked about her like she wasn’t there, and based on how casually he threw out the “like us” comment to Scrappy, I figure he’s probably made other borderline bigoted comments he thought he could get away with. Sarah’s not being unreasonable here.
That’s a fair argument. When it comes to webcomics that jump between the perspective of different characters I tend to err on the side of caution and only consider what is directly presented or explicitly implied. We haven’t seen much of Terrence’s negative behavior outside those occasions, so I was willing to at least try giving him the benefit of the doubt…
I’ve met people who come off as a total tool upon first impressions, but later found out they’re just woefully bad at interacting with people and social situations in general. I knew a girl in high school who came off as a snobby brat who bragged about everything, when it turned out she didn’t really have friends her age and spent most of her time with her rather well-off folks and their equally well-off friends. She literally just had no clue that talking about the stuff she got to do during the summer (Disney World trip, the occasional cruise) would be seen as bragging to people less well off.
That said…Terrance does seem to get more flaky as things go on (this said after seeing the following page).
