Y'all have been hitting these so hard that we only have two printers in danger of running out right now, but if anyone wants to toss a spool their way...

Let's get 3D Printing Neighbor and the noble Whistles McTooterhaus some filament!

We're the Whistle Avengers. We turn each spool of filament into 400-700 whistles which we send out into the world. Sponsor whistles in your favorite colors!

In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes.

Tor was kind enough to put book one on sale for $5.99!

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.
A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.

Hi everyone, one of our whistle producers is down to a roll or two of filament. If you have the capacity, would you mind helping them out so they can keep printing whistles?

Thank you all!

I made this 11 hours ago when we passed 200k for January and now it's like 220k. 😂 😂 😂
Remember when I wondered if we would ship 100,000 whistles in January?

Well, with the power of protective rage and collective compassion, we doubled that. 💞

Y'all if you do not take your wins and cling to them fiercely you are never gonna make it.

He said “stay warm, read smut” and the people did!!! A win for libraries!!!
"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

The whistle plates are feeling temperamental in this unexpected Alabama freeze, so instead of the cracking videos, enjoy 40 seconds of pretty colored whistles falling from the sky. 😂

Our friends in the twin cities probably didn't expect to wake up to an empty wish list, but they have added some more requests now!

You know what would really piss off the weirdos? pop-up leftist supply depot fuzzy socks. 💓
Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities?

This is your moment. Let's ride.

THIS.

I really wish people understood that the fake-ass apology to get you to shut up is part of the abuse cycle and we don't have to fucking participate in this shit.
This behavior of theirs is SO abusive.

"Welcome them with open arms, they've admitted they were wrong"

Yeah, I did that with my abuser many times, all it meant was he said one thing to get back into my good graces so he could abuse me more.

Go play your tiny violin, motherfuckers.

I second everything John said here. I already knew Greg Ketter from DreamHaven Books was a good person so this really isn’t surprising, but at 70 he shouldn’t have to be walking through tear gas on a Minneapolis street to try to protect his neighbors. Abolish Ice.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

On the plus side that's kind of their whole thing, but on the minus side, I've definitely been kidnapped by something horrible.

Your regular reminder that Bibi Netanyahu is about as religious and theologically serious as Trump is.

That is to say--

yeah.

Exactly that much.

In both cases, *fundamentalist zealotry* animates *one or more factions* of those they're trying to appease, but not all of them. That's it.
