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!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Are people jogging outside?
That..has got to be one of the most passive aggressive responses I’ve ever seen… No one is just that idiotic, right?
I was in the “idiot” camp, but now I’m leaning more towards “garbage monster.”
Why do I foresee a Garner sized hole in the wall in about 6 panels?
Every con staff always has that one R Tard who just likes to a Smartass in a bad way.
I wonder if Lynn is passing someone or if she just drives really fast and stays in the passing lane…
“You can put words together but the jury’s still out on where you can properly encode meaning.”
where = whether. Doh. Jury’s still out on me, apparently…
DIPLOMACY CHECK : FAIL
Initially, I thought Lynn was overreacting. Now I’m worried she’s going to be too nice.
Admit, that’s the sort of smartass thing I’d say. But there’s a survival trait about who such things get said to, and Garner appears to lack said survival trait.
