That's a lot of alarms. I take it CPSC doesn't exist in that dimension.

I couldn't stand the way Frey spoke and acted in the Daily Show interview. Klepper kept trying to grill him but all Frey wanted to do was create soundbites and address the crowd.

This was clearly a media circuit run to soft-launch his next job. Minneapolis residents deserve better than this.

It just makes me really happy that an Italian who hates fascism designed a whistle and opened the license for 100% unlimited use to distribute for free, and we're printing them with filament donated from all over the world & sending them across the country.

We really do have friends everywhere. πŸ’“

If you want to know what we are doing here, contact me.

I made this quote post so anyone can interact. Let me know here and we can move the convo to more secure channels.

Please learn, prepare, and get ready.

Safer cycling doesn't require more space. It just requires a better allocation of the space we already have.

Also, @seanhollister.bsky.social has been hanging out with the Whistle Coven, and wrote a piece about it! The opening line is "Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause."

Our chaos field has been immortalized.

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

Y'all, we did it. πŸ’• This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help!

Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles

my mildly crackpot theory is that we have a non-gendered nation-wide loneliness crisis, and that intense craving of purpose and connection is fueling a lot of the resistance organizing happening now.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.

But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

Also same on salt & vinegar chips! I couldn't even stand the smell of them and now it's one of my favorite flavors.

Our bodies are so weird.

I’m trying to help this immigrant family who’s been inside for over a month due to increased ICE presence in our community. Rent and bills are due tomorrow (Feb. 1) so we are really hoping to support them. Let’s make this family happy & prevent their displacement. ❀️
