This crew I'm printing with (shout out @mostlybree.kitrocha.com @lefttheprairie.bsky.social and @bibliogrrl.bsky.social) are the real deal. Whistles free for groups all over the country. You can ask for whistles or help supply printers with filament here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

People are constantly emailing us asking us how much whistles cost. It will always be $0. We send out 100 for $0. We send out 1000 for $0. Folks donating filament & shipping cash will let us keep doing that for as long as we need to, I hope! 💓 79,280 in the past 20 days & counting.

Always zero dollars.

ICE’s roots are incredibly similar to the police’s- the earliest form of the police in the US were slave patrols. It’s ignorant to think that we could reform ICE when we’ve been unsuccessful doing the same with the police who have a storied history of racially motivated violence. ACAB and fuck ICE.

We just donated $1000 to the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center’s warming shelters. It’s currently 7*F and snowing. Can you join us in helping? givebutter.com/KBNd5w

SPEAKING OF THE COLD!!! Activists have given @lefttheprairie.bsky.social another list of things they desperately need to stay warm & safe in the streets in the coming days! All of this is going to the twin cities! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you hate the 'zon our GFM does direct help.

tired: leaders throw folks under the bus wired: leaders invite folks on the bus in a dedicated lane

The vibes in Chicago right now are sort of like during the pandemic except if covid showed up in a random neighborhood every day and had to be driven off by everyone yelling at it

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino) to the Aurora Police following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests So here it is!

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The Broadway upzoning passes the land use commission 15-2. Loud cheers break out

Chicago restaurants are going European in that they don’t serve ICE

Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share? If you’re new… Hi I’m Cat, I make pretty picture of space 🥹 let’s connect if you like weird space art

perfect, no notes

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Castor and Pollux just want to say hi, Cygnus waits for his turn, while Orion doesn't care at all. (Not pictured: Andromeda, who is sleeping on my neck while taking this)

Cannot beleive that just today, I learned that Divvy runs a program called Divvy For Everyone that allows anyone on SNAP (food stamps), WIC, or LIHEAP benefits to purchase a $5 annual membership divvybikes.com/pricing/d4e-...

Just got home from a workshop with @cathrinmachin.bsky.social where we learned the first steps into space painting, and wanted to share some of the pieces Krista and I made during the trip! Can't wait to keep learning and making more, it was so much fun!

This is a good visualization of when people say that AI saves them time.

The fact that I not only know all three of these YouTubers but regularly watch them and my wife doesn’t know any of them means one of us is too online. Great episode @ifycomedy.com, even if it means I might need to rethink my life choices 🤣

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

i mean at least their masks are fully off now. i do wonder how some of y'all will rationalize this.

Half of the TNR cats today are named after British royals and I am fulfilling the dreams of so many of my ancestors by sterilizing them.

So in all the discourse over how men don't read, I've noticed something weird. All the articles about this issue say that there are multiple studies showing women account for 80% of fiction sales. But none of them link to the studies — just to each other. www.vox.com/culture/3929...

My gingerbread for this year. Merry Christmas and happy Voyages to all!!
