Also, for those who are following the adventures of the Little Whistle Federation That Could, we just passed 700,000 whistles shipped total.

Of those 700,000 whistles, more than half of them were shipped in these 14 days of February.

Lots of financial cascade casualties from the racist bullshit that kicked off the Minneapolis occupation. If you’ve got a couple bucks to try and help keep one of those affected businesses afloat?
Since 12.16.26 when Shirley filmed himself trying to break into the daycare in the same building, the Somali cafe Albi (Heart) Kitchen has been near the center of racist tourism & has been hit hard financially. Please help support Fardowsa with a visit &or donation.

In Somali, “albi” means heart. Before 2026, when the surge of federal agents, right-winged agitators and social media influencers came to town, Albi Kitchen was thriving. A place of community and lovi...

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!

Yesterday was quite thrilling in Whistle Goblin chat land: the designer of a whistle that many of us prefer dropped a brand new design incorporating feedback from us. So I did overnight test prints. Sometimes the world is very cool and fun, even if I’m printing whistles in bulk for shitty reasons.

Thanks to y‘all making my porch look like this, I’ve sent out 3 bags of whistles that look like this in just the last two days. Each bag takes about 2 rolls of filament! THANK YOU!

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?
February 7, 2026 at 6:27 PM
@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?
February 7, 2026 at 6:10 AM
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….
