A social media graphic shows a photo of a Chicago street scene with an embedded photo of actors from the TV show The Bear, alongside a headline that reads "The Bear has started filming season 5 across Chicago - from Ukranian Village to Wicker Park"

A screenshot showing an outline of Chicago from Google Maps is overlaid with a small rectangle showing the areas covered by the phrase "from Ukranian Village to Wicker Park", consisting of a tiny portion of the city's northwest side.

Pictured: this headline's operating definition of "across Chicago"

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. 💓

Help a leftist supply depot out, folks!

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

If you want a feel good moment, look at the folks from outside the US sending filament to whistle printers. If you want a second feel good moment, click the link, spend $20, and you can do it too.

ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

So glad to have met @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and @seanhollister.bsky.social and so many other people who set aside their anxieties and ego and just jump in to help

This whistle fights fascists I print whistles now. You can too.

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.

Thank you to Sean for this thoughtful article about tiny little 3d printed whistles!

It depends on what model(s) you print -- generally about 600-800, but some whistles take only a gram to print!

What if we stopped paying for ICE?

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!
