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!

Burn.
Not really a burn, just a “Nope, I am not interested, do not ask again”. Ruth has a history of being hit on by everyone, she’s probably fairly tired of it.
Kind of glad to not see this stretch out for 13 episodes over one stupid misunderstanding.
I can reference anime here, people at anime cons still watch anime right?
Yes… But not like they use to. Nobrandcon is down to one viewing room and I cannot really fault them. Their just aren’t the numbers to justify the space. That said my nephew spent half his time in the anime room this year.
Good lord calvsie drink some coffee and use a computer next time! Typos and bad auto correct through out, not to mention the grammar!
Really! The anime cons in my area are still going strong. The main difference is the higher grade of cosplay, which seems to be on the upswing.
What I’m not seeing is anime fans at more general conventions.
Anyway, I assumed the slow “no” was the wheels turning in her head after looking at the cover image on the comic. I mean, it’s got a strong resemblance to her, with reversed hair combing…
I’m sure that’s a coincidence. The proper response in that case would not be “No.”, it would be *runs away, screaming*.

Eh, I think there’s room for followup here. The questions is ‘-do- you date other people’, not ‘would you given the opportunity?’ Which is very likely to have the same answer. There’s also something to be said for the tone in which the answer was given, which we can’t strictly tell via text based medium.
