Into the shadowy cabal of whistlesmiths that 3d print and ship free ICE watch whistles around the country (750k and counting)? Wanna support our efforts? A couple of our printers are running low on supplies - if you feel like helping out, here's who needs a hand! linktr.ee/WhistleWishL...

SNEAKING IN A NEW BABY BEFORE I VANISH!!!! I love her. and I love that dark moody pink sparkle I found. thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4459...

Hey friends! Probably my last whistle post for the night, but our Wishlist Fairy @unburntwitch.com has just updated our wishlists to put everyone who has the greatest need at the top!!! If you were thinking you wanted to send some filament to a printer, NOW IS A GREAT TIME!

I have gotten reviews for my books that include literal death threats and comments like "it should be against the law for this author to write so much as a shopping list in the future" and I'm all SHRUG OH WELL but you give me 2 stars on makerworld for my profane clicker and it's on we're fightin'

One of our members designed these boxes! The 3d printed zine holders work with many filament brand boxes, and they've uploaded all the printables as well. Folks in our group have been bringing them to local businesses & then going back to refill! whistlecrew.samurailink3.com/filament_box...

their biggest mistake was proving that we can take care of each other way more effectively than they can take care of us, part 271

Yes, the world may feel like a dumpster fire some days, but you can keep this cute mini version close to hand and click it to relieve your stress. It will just sound like you're busily at work, typing away! thebrokencircle.etsy...

still feel like I should get to sue the FCC for tricking me into watching this very "it happened" interview where no one even said anything shocking

KEEP! THEM! LOSING!!!!!!

FUCK WHISTLES ATE MY LIFE SO HARD I DIDN'T REALIZE THE NEW HAVEN'S ROCK BOOK DROPPED?!?!?! loading my audiobook up even though I'm only 3 chapters into my City of the Lost reread. Let's go Kelley Armstrong Yukon Mystery Club!!!!

Got my surgery consult next week, so I will be entering the phase known as "freaking the fuck out while trying to pretend I'm not melting down over the unknown because be chill you knew this was coming" anyway I'm sure I'll be much more normal now. lol

*IF YOU ARE AN ILLINOIS RESIDENT YOU CAN VOTE BY MAIL* If you are in Chicago you have until March 12 to register for vote by mail! GO TO IT! (thanks to @slucy.bsky.social for correcting me on my initial mistake!) www.elections.il.gov/electionoper...

Please read this thread!!! And if you are concerned about ICE being deployed for voter intimidation, find a local voting rights org who is already doing the work. Start with Vote Riders. States having weird/changing Voter ID laws is less flashy for scaring folks but it works real well.

youtube just recommended me a video about Andor that started with (paraphrased) "everyone talks about all the other speeches but no one is making videos about Nemik's manifesto" sir, we hang out on very different parts of the internet. lol

Hey folks! Look at this group! Their website is amazing and full of great resources, and they have a wishlist as well! So if you were out there thinking "man I really want to buy some filament that will magically become whistles in Colorado" man do I have the link for you!

kind of annoyed the FCC tricked me into watching a video that was mostly a couple white guys pleasantly talking about Jesus when I usually don't watch Colbert's interviews. the streisand effect hurts us, too!

There's going to be a lunar eclipse soon! We can get up to 3 again!

joyce is going after elon again

it's 2026 and Bluesky likes three things: JCO bodying Elon Musk, primarying Democrats, and... okay probably just those two things actually.

if being terminally online has a final boss, it might be having to guess what JCO will say next and if you lose the floor becomes lava

wake up guys she's going again

this is how you get people who think it took professional grade logistics to drop a few thousand hand warmers in Minneapolis. it's okay though, I'm sure war doesn't require any sort of logistics or supplies more complicated than that.

every time I start a plate of whistles, my printer still sings The Hills of Tanchico. 💓

Hey folks! Look at this group! Their website is amazing and full of great resources, and they have a wishlist as well! So if you were out there thinking "man I really want to buy some filament that will magically become whistles in Colorado" man do I have the link for you!

these were the sweet little whistles that started it all.

look what they did while I was trying to eat a twix bar

(I don't really care if people fight or don't fight or debate or don't debate on this site. I'm not your mom, that ain't my business. If the vibes are off we may part ways, but I'm sure dozens of people unfollow me every day because my vibes are, to put it kindly, bonkerballs)

My variation on this is to just do the loud safe part as often as possible while not giving the shitheads on this site the attention they so crave. 😂 Screencap them and cut out their names & mock them brutally. No boost, no cred, nothing but the scorn they've earned and the invisibility they fear.

Hey, friends, especially folks in Brooklyn - the great @edidin.bsky.social is trying to help the Park Slope Women's Shelter replace some craft supplies. If you have the means, please consider helping out! www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

Speaking of whistles... it's just a countdown now to see how many hours it takes us to cross 750,000 whistles. Shortly after that we'll cross 500,000 for February. When @courtneymilan.com told me we were going to ship half a million in February I was like "lol ok" but I should not have doubted her.

UPDATE ON THE WHISTLING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN!!!! Everyone who sent me red & white silk has enabled me to make the most bonkers extra whistles imaginable and I love them and LET'S GOOOO UNIONS

Here is a way for crafty folks to help!!! 💓

One of our whistle gremlins just showed me pictures of whistle packets they've given to @flagsforgood.com to go with their Abolish ICE flags! 💓

The way we've gotten so weird about "performative" is understandable when a lot of white folks want to do a little performance and then reap the benefits as if they've done all the work. But man we gotta PERFORM to jerk this Overton window back to where it should be. Flood the damn zone.

HELLO FRIENDS! I come to you with a new wishlist to boost! Our friend is running low on filament and could use some help! I may be biased but I think you should buy all the bisexual ones first. amzn.to/3OhH3L7

Restock day in the shop! I usually only print one of each journal organizer color at a time, but I may have to start doing 2 of this one because it disappears the second I post it! LOL thebrokencircle.etsy...

She also talked about this organization which is getting involved in stopping them: projectsaltbox.substack.com

Madow did a whole piece last week listing all the places where local organizers had spiked the deals on detention facilities, and it's quiet and spread out and not getting a ton of attention but every fucking one is a hero.

I got stressed out over whether it was ethical to let people buy me an extra $25 plate for my printer just because it made it a lot easier to switch out whistle plates. anyway.

I opened threads because I had a notification and they are apparently debating the necessity of HEA in romance, and it's nice to know that even if the world is on fire and our government is crumbling, people will be mad the happy books are happy & happy book people will fail to ignore them. 😂

there are a lot of days when it is hard to love this country. but there are also days when it is impossible for me not to. like this

these two young white guys on IG go to an NYC restaurant each week to try food from a different country. they posted a video bringing together the owners of their first 12 stops & it made me cry bc it was simple & beautiful. just people from all over the world hanging & being pals. how it should be.

I had an epic whistle fail tray tonight and so as I sort them into "toots" and "not so much" I am trying to wish all these goofy not-so-tooty whistles well and imagine that some day they will be part of an amazing piece of art history.

oh no! apparently the paperback of Deal with the Devil is out of stock on Amazon, but I have been told it IS in stock in a lot of bookstores, especially romance bookstores! so if you're looking for it, look there. 💓

I made a partial payment, but the rest of my rent needs to be paid off in one lump sum ASAP and I still need about $1,950 to cover just my rent. I’m really getting desperate and I don’t know what else to do. Any help and shares are appreciated!

Oooh oooh my turn! Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan? Velocipedes!!!! Witch of the Wolves by Kaylee Archer? Victorian Werewolves! Legend of the Highland Dragon by Isabel Cooper? HIGHLAND DRAGONSSSSSS?!!!! ...I admit I don't read much hockey tho, historical or otherwise. LOL

They've raised over $390,000 so far. (I confess I bought the bundle despite having a couple of big bundles from the past I've not yet touched . . . ) (One day I will play some of these games, I'm sure.)

for convenience on nights when we need an easy meal, my roommate and I often buy a particular brand of pre-marinated pork loin. 6 months ago it cost $4.99 for approximately 1 pound. Now it's $9.99 and periodically put on BOGO. Everyone doesn't have the freezer space to buy multiples.
