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!

Heh, so this is a case where Terrence will see a dude asleep in the video room and attempt to wake him up rather rudely just to show his power.
When Terrence comes to, we find out that the dude was active special forces and was only in the room to keep his GF company while she finishes her video room shift.
Ran a con near several military bases, So it was drilled in to all staffers that if you see anyone asleep in con space, to get the head of security. The above is a true story of one of our enthusiastic security grunts who thought he was the Terrence.
I got 20 bucks on assaults a homeless m as n and 10 on gets himself shot and blames ruthl
ooh this is going to go so well…Can’t wait to see how Ruth has to handle dealing with dudebro’s sorry butt when he goes to harrass some attendee/or staffer off shift to “control the chaos” that doesn’t exist at 4am because everyone is either asleep, or in the drunk tank having a blast being drunk.
Why am I thinking of the Coneheads right now?
I’m sorta thinking Ruth/security starts getting calls about some weirdo harassing guests…
Oh joy, loose cannon alert…
