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!

I’m guessing Yellow Hat Guy was not the one just messing with Max.
“…surprisingly enough, Lynn says ‘yes’ for that last one”
Nah, Lynn doesn’t want the volunteers going rogue.
Only Lynn is allowed to hurt people on Lynn’s watch.
Nah no stabbing, but carrying a nice big stick for intimidation is ok *sarcasm(since This is obviously a joke and Trae hasn’t been able to tell if I am joking as of lately)*
…you say that, but Jessi used to carry around a big, oversized IMRD stick when she was Workforce organizer.
Yes she did and it kept us in check even though I carried my regular IMRD so that way i could break up clutter vender room walkways.
I really wish I’d never met people who actually ask these sorts of questions…
Having learned to never, ever, ever ask the hotel for anything unless you’re the liason the hard way, nothing is as clear as you think it is to your staff. Better they ask the dumb questions than guess the wrong way.
Sometimes you know there are more than one answers to certain dumb-sounding questions, so you ask them to learn the policy at this specific con.
