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!

…and that’s probably the healthiest breakfast anyone at the con had.
Nah, NebrasKon has a Perkins right across the street. Many a bleary eyed breakfast had there. And lunch. Several dinners. More than a few late night snacks.
I have never been to Nebraskon, but I have eaten at that Perkins. Twice.
I can confirm that Omaha does, in fact, have a Perkins.
The weird thing is, I think that’s one of maybe…two? Perkins in the entire town.
Lincoln has more Perkins than Omaha, and its half the size of this town. Weird stuff.
I go for the McDonald’s Breakfast. Sausage McMuffin with Egg, Hasbrown and a Coke.
It’s not the healthiest thing out there, but it’s better than pixie sticks.
ewww mcmuffins are terrible… biscuits all the way.
Ewwwwww biscuits?! i do prefer the egg mcmuffins, can’t stand sausage. The breakfast burritos are OK. I wonder if they still have danishes.
I once spent most of a con flying on Space Food Sticks, with occasional portions of a beef log we all chipped in on… One of a number of experiences which probably have more folks then me me wondering how on earth I managed to live into my sixties. 🙂
One of the reasons I started having a Registration Staff breakfast on Thursday morning was to make sure all my staff got a halfway decent breakfast Thursday morning.
