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!

Is Garner using “everyone” in a manner both analogous and opposite to “how are we doing?”
He thinks something, and because he’s clearly right, everyone else must agree with him and just not be willing to say it. Because if they don’t then he might be wrong, and that’s just inconceivable.
(also, WOW, dude is sure blaming Lynn for his own damn problems, isn’t he?)
Lynn should just walk away and tell that staff to go find a new webmaster
To paraphrase an earlier comic: “Yeah, I don’t know why you’d think that was an option.” considering who is involved here.
One tactic is to say, “Hey guys, Garner tells me that I’m annoying everybody and acting superior. I’m really sorry about that. So I’m going to resign right now so you can find a webmaster that can work with you better.”
I was going to say that Lynn’s anger management therapist earned her money only if Lynn never came looking for a fight to begin with.
But instead, I’ll recognize the obvious progress she must have made to not throttle this guy.
Hahahahahahhaha!
Oh, god, I have been in a very similar situation. A con in my area had an entire dept quit, and came to my con to recruit people as a stop gap so they could rebuild their staff. We showed up and were treated like we carried the plague. it was like, well, why did you ask us here if you didn’t actually want the help?
It’s official – Garner is a complete bag of garbage. If you have an issue with someone, you don’t forcibly drag it into public view behind their back and take steps to “get back” at them. You don’t put a business other people have worked hard for at risk. You don’t spend hours wasting other people’s time. You go and talk to the other person.
Yeah, this may be something of a hot topic for me. I find these kind of people to be some of the lowest forms of scum.
….I still kinda hoping for a Garner sized hole in the wall…
Why cause property damage when you can just replace the website with a page that say “i quit its his fault dont call me” wouldnt even need to remove the site just change all the folder names
Fight? Fight? Fight? Fight? Fight?
Eight! Eight! Eight! Eight! Eight!
