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!

Why do I get the feeling we’re going to see some other familiar faces soon?
Bit of a spelling error in the middle panel. “We won’t BR able to to run the event.
Longshot, but I hope Garner jumps ship. I miss Garner.
He started off as a real twat-waffle, but joining forces with Lynn against Nazis and backing her up in the aftermath rather endeared me to him. Goes to show that even seemingly jerk-off people can have good qualities.
Maybe it’s cold?
Hey now, the metabolically challenged can be great workers and can follow orders very well… admittedly the zombies can get a bit bitey, but just think of it as aggressive recruiting for next year…
….my point being don’t exclude someone just because they lack a pulse.
Who knew Reg Shoe weighed in on internet comics?
For a couple years we had panel meetings of ‘PETU’… People for the Ethical Treatment of Undead. So conventions and zombie rights are tied together in my brain.
Ethical treatment of the Undead. That’s like … stitches and bandages, not Cure Light Wounds? 😛
Setting the bar high, there.
typo: we wont BR able to run the event
