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!

A “redacted” version, she says.
This does not bode well.
Well it appears a con feud has begun.
And this is where email timestamps become handy.
It’s simple: Post an unredacted version on Bork con’s FB page.
But yeah. A propaganda war has started.
But the thing is this: I had a guy who “ran” my gaming group. He was an angel/devil petty manipulator who was fantastic when good and this side of demonic when bad. Jim is looking more and more like him.
If the comparison holds, This could be Jim’s last year running Unagi Con.
If the Unagi con staff all have “bad Jim” experiences and Jim putting too much time into his war with Lynn instead of maintaining power, he could well get voted out next time there is a vote. Especially if it is secret ballot. People don’t often want to rock the boat so Jim isn’t likely to face a coup. Unless things get worse.
