More great colors by protopasta! I really need to get around to trying some of these filaments that are not straight pla. Wood, metal, marble. Not sure where to start!

So fun fact, I love me shiny math rocks! This is a really incredible artist who I just discovered through the Fight Ice With Dice Auction! Which you should all check out(even if you don't have $ for it. It is a great way to see beautiful dice and to find new creators to follow and support!)
Love Candace! Please go buy ebooks and stickers!
I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
I was going to comment 'I refuse'. Then I saw this. Now I'm conflicted....
JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.
What a petty hater (complimentary)
You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
Keep driving your lane.
Okay, this is also from that thread but it is also important to point out!
This is a great thread to look at in this moment and it highlights how there will always be someone finding something to have a problem with. You just have to brush it off and keep doing your thing
What? When was that? Like early on or now?
I will not be engaging in Whistle Discourse because I'm pretty sure the people who don't want whistles will not be asking me for whistles, and my entire MO is "give people the stuff they ask for and otherwise STFU because I'm not there so I don't know what they should be doing."
The extent to which I do not have the time or patience for activism slap-fights in 2026 can not be overstated.
Yes, when you're a loose coalition of people with similar objectives but different tactics, friction occurs.
That's why folks need to act like grownups, communicate, and keep it moving.
There are people who have *extremely valid* reasons they can not engage with whistles, or even be seen to engage with whistles. Trying to pit us against them in some sort of thunderdome as if we are enemies instead of folks with separate, narrowly focused objectives?
Honestly, fed behavior.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
It only took me a month, but I finally made a volunteer page on Stand With Minnesota. Because we are about to need a lot of freaking volunteers. Help us keep Minnesota housed!

Got the coolest whistle at Comma books in Linden Hills. Because none of this is actually over. #Minneapolis
Go to the original post to bid! Tania is doing a great thing printing whistles! Let's help get them another printer!
Can you use your metal filament on normal 3d printers or do you need a special one?
Woah? So 3d printing metal? Then polishing it? It ends up looking like molded metal...
It's amazing what can happen when people band together for good
950 whistles!
New box of whistles! Same wonderful bitonal but full patterns on the top!
Let's see how many we have in here.....?
Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...
We did it! Let's go for a million!
Anyone need free whistles?

Itβs day 66 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
The news continues to trumpet the so called drawdown, while our immigrant neighbors continue to suffer at the hands of indiscriminate ICE enforcement actions.
Stay alert and in the streets- we need every whistle and witness.
If y'all missed it last night, after they gave us tremendous amounts of filament to print whistles (FOR FREE!!!) we lured @protopasta.bsky.social over to bluesky, and if you like companies that show up & have pretty colors, they got you!
Jumping in to keep up with all the whistlemakers!
Protopasta is ready to donate filament to keep the momentum going! Reach out to our support team at support@protoplant.com to find how you can be involved, too!
Thank you for supporting us/the whistles in general and for getting a blue sky account! You guys are awesome and have helped us so much in getting this many whistles out! Also, I am in love with your filament now! Had never actually seen it before! Can't wait to try it myself!
