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!

hehe it’s funny cause he doesn’t know who he is talking to
Meanwhile, topless Elvis sets fire to the building…
Here come a stupid ‘Well actually’ thing… would staff badges even have numbers like attendee ones? đŸ™‚
In Bork Con’s reg system,
1. Staff badges have numbers
2. Badge numbers go with the people, so a person keeps their number year ro year even if they change badge types
Thanks for the info. Our staff badges don’t have numbers, yet. When they do they’ll be separate from attendee numbers since they’re in different databases.
Pretty much every furry convention, staff badges have numbers too. They’re not treated any different from attendees in that regard. Typically Anthrocon gives the Board of Directors the single-digits, though ours shift from year to year (I’ve been 2, 4, 6, and 7 in my years on the board). I was ‘2’ every year I was the reg director.
Yes, our con badges had numbers just like regular attendees. Some people have the same badge number at multiple cons.
Max should know Terrence if only by reputation.
Laserlike focus on absolutely the wrong thing. Yeah, I’ve seen people like that.
Like the teacher who yells at you for pda holing your so’s hand while students shes actually in charge of are#$@&ing in the dorm (pretty much what happened to me and my gf in hs)
We were the hand holing couple to be clear
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve had the feeling of anticipation for the next comic in a series. Congratulations, you’ve rekindled that feeling. I am very excited for the next strip. I see nerds on power trips every con, and I can’t wait to see Terrance get his comeuppance!
Yeesss. Con staffers, volunteers, and attendees alike have encountered the Power Triper.
1. Why are there numbers on the badges?
2. Why does the number follow the person? If they stop coming, is that number still skipped?
I’m asking for a friend :-]
1. Many cons implement badge numbers, which allow lost badges to be returned to their owners, give the con an easy way to look up an attendee, and a a host of other advantages.
2. Some cons have numbers follow people year to year (it’s pretty easy to implement in an online reg system). And yes, if that person stops coming the number is skipped.
Thanks for replying!
