This is the most important part. You need whistles we send whistles. You don't pay, you just get whistles.
We do not accept payment for whistles, and will ship anywhere between 100 and 1000. If you know someone with an org that needs even more than that, they can reach out and we can work with them!
Do not be afraid to ask for 100 whistles if you just want to radicalize your PTA group. WE WANT THAT! 💓

Sorry for lack of clarity—my see also was intended for other people who (like me) are unfamiliar with the Insular Cases but (like me) don’t have Slate subscriptions and can’t read the articles. I didn’t mean to imply that you were missing anything or didn’t know about them.

I eventually tried a free cross-platform subtitle-editing app called Tero Subtitler. And it worked!
So I figured it was worth posting about, both for other people and for my own future reference.
(The app can also do lots of other things with subtitles.)

Huh—now when I click the same link again, it takes me to a purchase page. Very weird.
(I had previously tried it twice, on a phone and on my computer, and both times got the same immediately-download-an-empty-file result. But now it seems to be working as intended.)

No, I just clicked the ko-fi link in your post, and my browser immediately downloaded a file (without showing anything else, no purchase page or ko-fi page or anything), but the file was zero bytes long.

That link didn’t work for me—it tried to download an empty file. So for anyone else looking for the Ko-Fi, here’s a link that might (or might not) work better: ko-fi.com/therisingtit...
