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!

i’m with max pick the second one
Ditto!
If he stays true to form, he’ll pick the second one.
Don’t kill him, Veronica! Lynn will be sad you left her out of it!
Was I wrong to hope that Lynn would of shown up?
She’s handling this far more calmly than I would expect.
Naw, Con-zen. She’s already had to deal with so much weird, stupid stuff that she’s gone into full “extremely reasonable murderbot” mode. It’s inevitable after enough time passes – you just aren’t willing to invest in drama anymore – you got too much to do and you’re sick of this crap.
Reading the moussover text, Terrence would be lucky to be Number 6…
I am not a number, color, and infraction. I am a free man! Or, at least, I will be in 30 seconds.
‘A handful of single digit badge numbers’…. not to quibble with the murderous lady, but wouldn’t it be two handfuls? I assume there is no Badge Number zero, so nine single digits?
Only if all of them showed up. It seems like the single digits are the people who started the con, so it’s likely Max was just the first person to sign up.
And Jenna’s dead.
Less than 24 hours until we learn his choice, and the wait is killing me!
