Reminder that we are still sending out anti-ICE whistles to anyone who needs them! Any quantity from 100-3000. Free. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Don’t look away from Memphis. Don’t look away from Houston. Don’t look away at the nationwide ICE surge. The trump administration is counting on you losing interest and falling for its tweak in tactics. zeteo.com/p/trumps-vio...

I'm going to need everyone who has never been on the receiving end of OB-GYN healthcare to read this thread. Also, this is a mere FRACTION of what we go through. And I say WE because these are not one-off, outlier, medical extreme cases that need these procedures. These are "normal" check-ups.

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.

My working theory is that Bluesky's just a retirement center for deeply traumatized TAG kids 😭

This is amazing! I planned out a purse that I wanted to build out of old RAM chips and pink plastic ages ago, then never finished it because I just didn't really need a purse anymore. Now I am wondering if I should make it into a cyberdeck!

Young women are blinging out their custom-build cyberdecks and I am here for it www.wired.com/story/cyberd...

We are partnering with Common Area Maintenance (CAM) to develop and use the El Rey Building, a previously abandoned 30K sq ft building in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. This partnership will provide a long-term, sustainable location for our Six-Week Workshop. www.clarionwest.org/2026/04/27/c...

Happy Hexennacht to all those who celebrate! Don't forget to take your broom into the shop for maintenance before you head out tonight to fly up to the mountaintops to cast your annual hexes!

This makes my heart so happy. I have so many fond memories of participating in Book It in elementary school!

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

I had high school jobs before this one but my first job that paid the rent was 5.85 an hour in 1998 as a legal secretary (though I later found out that I was actually illegally doing some tasks you were supposed to be a paralegal to do!)

Hey how make much did you make an hr on your first job and what was the job? $3.80 an hour wrapping gifts at Marshall Fields. 1990.

Last night I dreamed that I was walking through the White House with Barack Obama as he explained all the necessary repairs and I woke up to rush to the Internet to see if it was finally happening but alas, it appears to just have been a wishful thinking dream. Maybe next time...

Soooo we are being governed by people who can't sort out fifth grade math. Cool cool cool cool. This is fine.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

I’m as guilty as saying this as the next person but it’s worth remembering ICE has not gone away or pulled back. They’re just quieter. whistlerequests@proton.me for 100-3000 whistles, absolutely free in the US if you need them for your org…

A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.

At first, when the rails came off I kept waiting for someone 'in charge' to *do something* Then I realized that no one is coming and if we need saving, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work. I don't have any tattoos, but if I get one one day, it will say We Keep Us Safe.

@mspwhistles.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Today is day 137 of the ICE occupation of MN. A group of organizers were discussing the lessons of the last 5 months, and came up with two key lessons Minneapolis residents have learned again and again: No one is coming to save us. and We keep us safe. Let’s keep taking care of each other.

Hello everyone who has contributed to our whistle-making efforts. Thank you for everything you have done for us. First, we are still printing whistles: if you need whistles we will happily send you between 100-3000 for free, no questions asked. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

By the way, I have stepped back somewhat from whistle coordination because I was preparing for/recovering from surgery! But many of the whistle goblins are still working quietly behind the scenes, and our total is close to 1.5 million whistles shipped to every state in the country. 💓

While I am still getting a lot of whistles out there locally, the request line has slowed *way* down. If you want to request some free whistles to get out in your community it's a great time for it! Send an address & how many whistles you think you can get out there to riotgrrrlrevolution@proton.me

I would love to find a printable version of this so I can post them all over my neighborhood!

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

This whole thread is way too good.

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

I love Seattle 💚

Immanuel Cunt@sheogorath.bsky.social · 4mo ago

ICE has been banned from Seattle parks I guess.

Truer words never spoken.

good morning to everyone except the bastard who decided not to sew down or omit the little free-floating pads in sports bras that literally NEVER stay in place.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds

I am so disappointed to hear this. I feel like I'm reaching the end of my ability to withstand social media. My first thought was that I could only join another platform if they promised not to incorporate AI, then I realized that I would never believe a promise like that.

I just got some really fun listings up on the Solder and Bubblegum shop (I've been working on this stuff for two weeks, so it's fun to finally get it out into the world!)

This whole thread is so true.

I have a lot of respect for Naomi, I think she's fab, but as someone who spent 16 years at the women's equality coalface, I don't believe my generation's women's movement failed so much as powerful men woke up to what was going on and blocked us. And we had not yet gathered the power to stop them.

Also the Dick Whistles are still a thing! Volunteers took some last week and ppl are loving them! They picked up another batch today! Want to distribute some dick whistles to help connect LGBTQ+ folks with our immigrant communities? I'll send them to you for free - e-mail me at rainbowdix@proton.me

In whistle-related news, I'm running low on filament for whistles, and the WC wishlist has slowed way down! When I ship out this box I'm packing up, I'll pass 40,000 whistles that I personally have shipped to people in need, all for free. Help me do good! www.amazon.com/registries/g...

I'm also almost finished with the Witchy Clicker Bookshelves I have been working on all week (now that I've printed them for all of the young adults in my life, I can finally print for selling!), including customizable familiar kitties! I'm really excited to get some of this stuff up on the shop!

Hard at work today on making my new Trans Flag and Bi Flag Guillotine earrings for the shop! I thought I was getting into a 3-d printing project, but it turns out I have some skill-building to do in terms of working with jump rings!
