Had to wait two years for this. I'm right up front, only a few rows back.

Oh cut it out 🙄 This is just the avocado toast nonsense all over again. God forbid we want to eat *checks notes* food that isn't gruel

I'm glad it arrived safely! 💖😄
@shinyshinyleaf.bsky.social since I can’t DM you and it looks like you’ve posted publicly about this, THANK YOU for the roll of soon-to-be-whistles! 💖

*existential crisis intensifies*
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

My current project for S: the Starry Starry Night Socks by Suzanne Bryan.

Photos I took in the Palm House. The dreary, rainy weather makes it look like there's nothing beyond the glasshouse roof. The cosiness and greenery made for a lovely atmosphere.

This sweet little bastard extorted both ham and cheese croissant and blueberry muffin out of me, and thought it was socially acceptable to see if my knee was edible 😑😂

The second sock is starting to take shape! I visited Kew Gardens again and sat in the Palm House as a bulwark against the cold, dreary day outside. 🧶🌱

A whistle printer is running low on filament! Their wishlist has various pretty colours including rainbow!
Morning, friends! The Whistle Crew has shipped 83,000 whistles in the first 3 days of February and I am back with a wishlist from one of our printers who is RUNNING LOW on filament.

You can find all of my (kinda gay) favs on here 👀

I love it when you complain about the price of food and people say "just meal prep 7 days of boiled chicken cubes!!!" because whether it works or not you are advocating for an existence that would have a medieval peasant grabbing their scythe

I finally bought a matcha making set. I found myself drinking matcha over steeped teas for various reasons so figured I might as well. Shame the set didn't come with a matching cup, but never mind.🍵

I think I'm late for the #showmeyourknits grey week, but never mind. I finally got over second thumb syndrome and finished my Boyfriend Mittens. A surprisingly successful mishmash of patterns. 🧶

Also, if you don't want to or can't use Amazon to send filament to printers (the joys of international purchasing come to mind 😑), consider this gift card option.
Remember how I said we had plans to try to reduce Amazon wishlist dependence for our whistle printers?

We'd love to get enough polymaker gift cards so we can do a bulk buy directly from the manufacturer and get a stack of filament for an entire urban area.
Also just going to throw out here that if you were to send a polymaker gift card to whistlerequests@proton.me so we can combine a few of them, we have an evil plan for wholesale purchases AND IT WOULD BE EPIC!!!

Each roll of 3D printing filament can make 400-700 whistles. If you buy one roll ($15-30 depending on colour and brand from what I saw), that's hundreds of people you could help toot at ICE with rainbow and/or bright neon whistles! Just imagine it!
Do you want to help communities fight the good fight against ICE? Here's a list of whistle printers with Amazon registries, where you can buy them 3D printing filament, postage supplies, and more!

If buying from the registries is proving difficult, a gofundme for postage costs is also linked.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Who's cutting onions in here 😭
Liam Ramos gets to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit on his flight home from the Texas ICE camp

This little boy has become an inadvertent symbol of resistance

A reminder of why we fight

What ICE did to this child was wrong.

May the kindness he receives today help heal the damage.

A video of the waterfall in the central area of the Temperate House. It's such a relaxing area. My seat for the day was right behind the waterfall. 🌱

In one of the octagonal wings of the Temperate House, I found a small exhibition on edible plants. Just look at this funky little pineapple plant. I love it. 🌱

Some photos from the Temperate House:
1. North wing entrance
2. Support pillars, New Zealand section
3. Waterfall, central section

I love Kew's glasshouse architecture. It feels like the ribcage of a huge fossil. 🌱
