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!

Sarah is enjoying this way too much. Also, I need to remember this.
yea Bluetooth security is a joke but one that occasionally you can laugh at
Who else is thinking of a certain AMV?
Too bad the genre’s already been established. It’d be fun to keep hitting him with Beck’s “Mother****er” every time he turned it on. It’d certainly get the point across.
Probably wants to avoid vulgarity. Too bad, because can you picture his face when he hears “It’s Britney, B****”?
i’d go for the truly diabolical and loop the song from the end of the old Lambchop tv show on PBS
This is the song that doesn’t end yes it goes on and on my friend
The Lambchop ending would drive people insane at the con. But on the other hand, it would expose the vender for the jerk he is and perhaps get him blacklisted from any cons ever. Well maybe that’s a stretch but it could get him booted out though.
I mean if you go for a cheap BT speaker sure, that could work. If the speaker has even the simplest, most basic pairing or authentication controls, that doesn’t work
It did work, though.
Let’s hope he doesn’t figure out who’s doing this and take the song literally!
Perhaps something such as Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage would have been better.
