WHISTLE TIME! I go through about 3 rolls of filament a day printing whistles that I ship to anyone who asks (FREE!) as part of a loose knit crew of whistle goblins.

if you want to throw a spool at your whistle maker, I’d sure appreciate it!

Do you have *any* idea how many days this was on constant repeat in my dorm room in the early 2000s?

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

Need whistles?

@missoularesists.bsky.social hi! I’m a whistle-maker and I’ve been producing and shipping out a gazillion whistles all over, but haven’t managed to connect with the local network. I’m starting to see whistle boxes around and I want to help keep them filled! Who do I talk to?

@protopasta.bsky.social okay, the whistle chat has sung your praises so much that I signed up for a subscription! It’s too late to get the February batch right? Next one comes in April?

Haha just kidding. Now there’s 4.

Once 3d printing at scale is no longer an essential antifa tactic, two of the largest printers will be finding new homes, but for now, ALL THE WHISTLES.
Okay, I definitely have enough printers now.

One of the biggest limitations for getting MORE WHISTLES out into the world is keeping all the printers in filament. It is amazing that ProtoPasta is stepping in to make it easier to keep the whistles flowing. THANK 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 [email protected] to find how you can be involved, too!

I ramped up my whistle production thanks to all the donated filament. 18,500 whistles are out in communities in 11 different states! But filament gets used, and at this pace, I’ll be out in about 5 days.

one of my favorite whistle models looks like ribbon candy when you print it in silk gradient.

Did you know I’m a part of a chaotic whistle-obsessed group of 3d printing nerds that has shipped almost 300,000 (!!!) printed whistles for free to anyone who asks? We have a bunch of new members who could use some filament, so if you want to help, wishlists are here! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Y'all, we shipped ~45k whistles in December.

I think we shipped ~35k whistles TODAY.

This team of rogue 3D printing enthusiasts is... really rocking & rolling. 💓💃 And thank you to all of you who helped supply the filament & shipping $ so that could happen!

I was trying to take a picture to show you how much better Xan is feeling, bu she is feeling so much better that she is following me around demanding love RIGHT NOW.

I am going to print the shit out of whistles today, because that’s what I can do.

Old Lady Kitty Xanthippe gave us a scare this week. She got a cold somehow, and when I got home from work on Wednesday she had progressed from sneezy and snotty to coughing and kinda out of it. $1k of hospital later and we discovered she was working up a 2ndary lung infection.

I might have made two double espresso shots because the first one came out slightly off, but I was running out the door and steamed milk covers a multitude of sins, so all the espresso got poured in my travel mug with all the milk. Check back in an hour for an update on my heart rate….

it is exhausting having kids with IEPs, even when it’s accompanied by awe-inspiring brilliance.

Why can’t vet hospitals do even a rudimentary sound proofing? Screaming dogs are super stressful for LITERALLY EVERYONE.

Hey folks! Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has sent spools of filament to the printers over the past few days. Your notes are being shared in the group and making people misty eyed and hopeful. (Sometimes literally, thank you Hope.)

Whoever bought me the Gilded Stripes silk filament off my wishlist, I am OBSESSED. It’s gorgeous!

The world is chaos, so I’m having Oreo cookies dipped in a mug of warm soymilk (with added cookie dough syrup) for dinner.

@missoularesists.bsky.social Hi! I'm a Missoula whistle maker, and while I'm currently mailing whistles across the country as a part of a bigger group, I wanted to give you my contact info in case you need a source. DM me.

My oldest child bought himself a Herman Miller office chair over the summer, but it obviously doesn’t come home for winter break. He got back to school today and texted me just to tell me how much he missed his chair.

Somebody described the next few weeks as "when decades happen." Is NATO going to exist in a month? Are more cities going to experience armed occupation by a govt that has decided to let slip the dogs of war? Are the Proj 2025 goons actually running the gov't going to 25th amend Trump and wild out?

*someone* in this picture is an old lady who only eats gushy salmon wet food and therefore always has horrendous breath that everyone else gets to experience when she starts complaining to management about some imagined slight.
