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!

That doubt-related benefit I’ve been giving you is fading, Terrence!
‘We have several potential locations, but we won’t know which one is appropriate to use until we know when it will be, and what sort of stuff we’ll need to display, not to mention how much of it. ‘When’ will be some time after we have things donated. Which at the current rate will be sometime in the 23rd century. Promotion will depend on when and where it’s held, and what sort of stuff we’re promoting.’
Not sure I’m getting what most people are from this arc. Frankly, as much of an ass as Terrence is I’m more thinking that if I was him my reply would be something like, “K… you realize that I knew jack shiat about this stuff, no idea what I’m doing, where, how, or anything else – and y’all have been off in your own little corners doing other shiat so….. you were expecting WHAT again?”
Sure, he’s a jackhole, but when you grab someone, toss them into a pool and yell “Swim!” and walk away – well don’t be disappointed if they don’t do well at all.
(Safety note: make sure to avoid any cameras/witnesses, you don’t want extra evidence for the inevitable wrongful death lawsuit.)
I need to install “like” buttons on comments here…
