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!

This needs to be a panel.
The only problem is that it takes a comprehensive knowledge of the shows.
So, what, you’re saying there’s a surfeit of potential panelists? 😉
More like a dearth–I’ve been to way too many panels where the panelists’ knowledge was severely lacking.
so you make it a competition, the shows are assigned randomly and a panel and you have X amount of time to create your pitch then a team of of judges score the pitches
it would be The masquerade for aspiring writers and fan fic enthusiasts
I’d watch this panel.
the proposed mash up would be a lot like Escaflone or Aura Battler Dunbine
I prefer to think of it as “Alchemech: Destiny of the Hunters”
Until the tank starts dating one of the mechs.
Well Toei Animation in Japan made a merged episode of DBZ, One Piece, and Toriko in the show One Piece. Just wanted to put that out there.
They did even worse in an episode of Gintama.
I thought it was Maychek…
Also spelling error in Panel 3, “Cark”
Oof – thanks for catching the typo.
As for the pronunciation of “Macek” — I’ve always heard it pronounced “May-sek,” so at the very least (whether it’s right or wrong) that’s how Max and Veronica would say it. 😛
