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!

The Inmates are running the asylum? I tell everybody that when I explain the difference between day shift workers and night shift workers.
As a night shift worker, I am paranoid as to exactly what you mean with the above statement. But fairly sure I agree.
I’m sure you agree but to explain, having worked both, day shift workers are little bit uptight generally because all the big wig bosses are in so there isn’t much room for slacking off which that is the case too for night shifts. However night shifts in any work setting are a little bit more laid back because there isn’t big bosses taking glances all the time. Hence why I say the the difference between day shift and night shift is that inmates run the asylum at night. Usually the supervisor at night is also a bit more laid back than the day guy is.
Personally as much as I don’t mind 1st shifts, 2nd shifts are little bit nicer IMO.
Okay.
My point of view is that the inmates, the crazy people who have no true understanding of what they’re doing or what’s going on, are in charge. Aka, the day shift, and all the clueless managers who are baffled why they aren’t getting feedback from the night crew at the 3pm meeting.
For those unfamiliar, to gain a better understanding of a Night Crew viewpoint, swap ‘am’ and ‘pm’. Would you attend a meeting at 3am, or skip it? If you did go, how attentive and productive do you think you’d be?
