The last 48 hours have impressed on me the extreme damage that chronic stress has inflicted on my body. I knew it was bad, but it finally became clear to me in ways I could no longer brush aside.

Big changes have to start today.

Good morning whistle friends!!! While we wait for our big bulk filament shipments, I'm going to continue to post a few wishlists from some of our mass producers who are running low!

This particular whistle maker has delivered over 15,000 whistles ALL ON THEIR OWN!?!? 💓

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

I talked to a lawyer about hiring someone to translate my books on straight women in the AIDS community into Spanish. You would think after 45 years there would be a lot of books in Spanish on the epidemic, but there aren't. He said he hoped this project will inspire others. So do I.

S’mores… but make it scoopable. 😍🍫🔥

This S’mores Cookie Dough Dip is creamy, chocolate-studded, marshmallow-loaded, and completely no-bake. It tastes like campfire s’mores + edible cookie dough had the most delicious baby ever.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that

Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history

JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

This is EXACTLY right

RFK Jr and the MDs and PhDs he hired to follow his orders—Drs Prasad, Bhattacharya, Høeg, Kulldorff, Oz, & Makary—have been hugely successful at rapidly dismantling the US vaccine system & at discouraging vaccine R&D (including mRNA vaccine R&D)
This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.
FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma. "When there’s uncertainty about the path to approval & the reliability of the process, that really has pretty serious consequences,” one player told @jasonmast.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2026/02/12/f...

I just spent a couple hours in the whistle inbox, inputting 39 requests. They ranged from 100 for a lady who wants to give them out at church to 3,000 for a large union. All over the country, but one common refrain: I want to help.

Thanks for helping us do this. 💓
