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!

Wow
*crowd* Ooooooooooh.
I’m now reading his line in Loki’s voice. What’s wrong with me?
His corpse was found riddled with what appeared to be horn marks. The multiple witnesses to the event all swear they were nowhere in the vicinity when it occurred, claiming they were lost in the the vendor room.
Police say that, given the labyrinthine layout of the vendor room, their prime suspect is a minotaur.
“Witnesses say they were all in the bathroom at the time. The 4×5 ft room is being dubbed “The TARDIS’ because there are over 100 supposed witnesses”
Is that the Nerd and Tie cast there to the side?
Maaaaybe.
Since we don’t charge for autographs as of yet this wouldn’t be a problem for us. The guests might feel bad if no one was lining up for their signature.
Minion, who’s name I don’t think I’ve heard and wouldn’t bother to remember if I had? There occasionally comes a time when you need to slap your boss to keep him from doing something really stupid. It may seem cruel, but he’ll thank you in the long run. Sadly, the proper time is well past, and some interest has has built up. You’ll need to slap him more than once. Go ahead and start, I’ll let you know when to stop.
this guy reminds me of Mike from Something Positive back in the days of the redneck tree
Cue ” The Ballad of Doug Wright”…
Been going through the archives and noticed that the attendance was capped at 2000. Expecting more people is one thing, these expectations are positively delusional.
You hadn’t noticed that the first time through?
