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!

There’s so much I want to say but I just can’t seem to articulate it into a thought that would be interpret the way I want it to be. But yea don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.
Heh…
L: So are you planning on having 18+ events at BCCC?
BCCC: We hope to
L: So you are not going to be a family friendly con?
BCCC: NO! we love kids…
L: So since you love kids… you’re a pedophile then.
I’d say it was a battle of wits, but he is only half armed.
I know this is quite late, but I had to say it….
In a battle of wits, he’s the Black Knight…
Half armed? I’m thinking unarmed.
Plus its really dumb to say “They are from out of state ignore them.” Don’t people from other states come to conventions? I like to go to other conventions. Like where I’m from we don’t do room parties like y’all do up north. That was a fun trip!
On the other hand if you go to Arizona con’s. You pretty much hate every other Arizonan attendee because it’s the best way to get shade.
