Pile of flat red whistles on orange cord
The ICE whistle kits I've been making are getting around, so I am making more
ftrain
This rules.
Thank you
Update: Stopped at 70. The free pantry on our block goes through about ten a week, the other distributions, about the same.
Good thing I have more red filament coming.

Fantastic work!
@B6FA798A3449 Thanks, that was a good read.
Can confirm anecdotally that many abductions are abandoned when the agents are confronted by large groups of people with whistles. It also confirms (at least to me) that they know damn well that what they are doing is not right.

A little boy on a chair extending a Churu treat up to a cat leaning out of a little window nook
Æthelred started hunting and attacking Horatio, which broke our hearts and led to a string of vet visits to see if someone was sick. Horatio was fine but Æthelred had problems with his teeth and ended up having *9* removed. Our household was also disrupted by keeping the boys separated for weeks while all this played out. Around Christmas my sister said she could “foster” him - huzzah! We brought him up on New Year’s Eve, and at first he was pretty skeptical of my younger nephew (not pictured). However, everyone in the household (5 people) is very excited to have him, and he’s settled in nicely. He even caught a mouse! I miss him painfully, but even I can see he traded up.
Aw, that’s hard. Nice to think of him feeling happier though. ❤️
That’s a tough transition, glad it’s working out
@snowbow my sister asked me if he would catch a mouse because her husband “thinks we have one.” I pointed out that (a) there’s no such thing as “have one,” and (b) I’m pretty sure he’d be thrilled out of his little kitty mind to catch any available mice. So I’m pretty sure “happier” is a serious undersell. 😹

Director David Lynch looks at the camera saying, “I hope you all are having a lot of fun working on your favorite projects.”
And if you are, tell us about 'em!!! By posting it! Share your joy good friends!

I am currently finishing the last wedge of a grocery store pumpkin pie and catching up on my socials, after which I will return to the kitchen and resume parceling 11 lb of ground pork into 1/4 lb patties and freezing them.
Most of you know I regularly perform at the local Renaissance festival as the "Lord Mayor of Canterbury". I was informed a couple of days ago by the entertainment director that she wanted to meet to talk about the audition process for the role of King. So my next big personal project may very well involve a crown, costuming, and a lot of rehearsals and show work.
I am building an affiliation with a local gallery, in spite of roaming the latest exhibition like a velociraptor, as I was told. To which I say RrrrraaaauuuggghhArt!
It's MIT Mystery Hunt weekend! https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026...
I just roasted a pumpkin that has been chillin in the garden since fall and when it cools I will make pumpkin bread of it. I also had an east bay day today and got some Seville oranges at Berkeley bowl: I spy marmalade in the offing

Image depicting alignment chart with different monitor setups. Each setup corresponds to alignments like lawful good with three horizontal monitors, neutral good with two, chaotic good with one horizontal and one vertical, lawful neutral with one monitor and a laptop, true neutral with one monitor, chaotic neutral with one horizontal and one vertical, lawful evil with two stacked monitors, neutral evil with two side-by-side vertical monitors, and chaotic evil
with an irregular stack of monitors.
with an irregular stack of monitors.
Never realised how Lawful Neutral I was until just now.
I am generally Neutral Good, but I aspire to Chaotic Evil. I just watched a video about screen mapping, that I’d love to replicate. Mad data scientist dreams.
Currently Lawful Evil
I am chaotic neutral with a laptop to the left.
Neutral good, but with a laptop screen in the middle. Totally would go chaotic evil if my work laptop would handle it, though.
Lawful neutral. And that pretty well checks out with my personality IRL
Lawful neutral. If I wasn't tied to a laptop I'd go back to Chaotic Neutral. Loved that setup.
I'm true neutral, except cryptically I've got 5 layers of 4x2 virtual screens and I can switch between them with keyboard shortcuts baked into my finger for the last 26 years ( FVWM ). 40 concurrent screens.
Lawful Neutral or GTFO
@crazyunclejoe got a link to the vid?
@jordanbrock this is the one I watched that got me excited at the possibilities:

Chaotic Evil, and I could use more screens... And maybe a projector 😜
@octaneTom There's dozens of us!
Lawful neutral all the way.
what would 'neutral good' be with an additional smaller monitor making a row of 3? (picture neutral good + chaotic good)
Of course what defines chaos is not how the monitors stack but how inconsistent their distance is from the user.
I disagree with these. Neutral Evil will do anything to win, as will Neutral Good.
I send all of these I find to a friend and former RPG partner. But not this one. It’s too silly.

@crazyunclejoe That reel comes closest.
25 years ago I was chaotic evil, with a Mac tower with two video cards and 4 monitors, heavy CRTs that nearly killed my manual sit-stand desk.
Now I’m true neutral, but spend very little time working on my computer because I loathe it and it broke my arms.

Sketch of a postage stamp (with the stamp next to drawing). Text is "Bicycle 1870s, USA 5.9c, Auth. Nonprofit Org."
Sketch is of a penny farthing bicycle, in blue.

Another stamp in the transportation series, much like the first one I posted. And, it's another simple line sketch/stamp, so it was a bit of an easier one to copy. These have been fun!

Sketch of a Canada Post postage stamp of Queen Elizabeth. Postage is 10.
Second of my postage stamp sketches. For the moment, I'm working with simple ones with basic line art. I sort of messed up the "Canada" on this one.
Yeah, doesn't look a whole lot like Queen Elizabeth, but I do like the way it turned out.

Well her nose is more flattering than in the original drawing, which has always bothered me.

Four Lego sets depicting space exploration scenes in a minimalist style.
Mine are still in a box. I should put these together one of these days...!
@homerj They’re very quick builds, took a bit less than 2 hours.
They are nice, we have these as well up on the wall.
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

Thanks, I hate it.
Hands are too big.
That bulge is remarkably small, he must have been on HRT for a while now.

two images of a white person's hand holding a large, palm-sized golden coin from this year's MIT Mystery Hunt.
the first image shows the front of the coin which says "MIG Mystery Hunt 2026" and has cartoon, pokemon-style images of red, orange, and blue dragons, a pink princess, a knight with a sword, a fish shaped like a lemon, a blue rounded thing with eyes and a crown, and a black rabbit, etc.
the second image shows the back side of the coin in the same palm, which has geometric patterns on the upper half of the coin, and the bottom of the coin has stylized laurel leaves and a large circle with the words "Big Nobel Prize"

the coin from this year's MIT Mystery hunt has been found. Prescient of them to have it be the big nobel prize, fits right in with the news cycle.
Congratulations to Team Providence!

Green and yellow paint
I’d hang that painting on my wall
Like a Monet floral!

A dark, slightly tarnished sphere hangs in a blue vacuum. On the yellowish underside of the sphere is carved a simple smiley-face smile and eyes. The underside has a tinge of yellow light to it. Sitting on top of the sphere is a small, blocky building with large windows glowing white, and a red neon border around the roof. Sticking up from it is a large sign that says "DINER" in pink neon lettering, bordered by white and yellow bulbs. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Did another Singing Resistance event today. They estimated there were 600 people this time. That’s 60 times the number of nazi fucks that showed up then got run out of downtown.

Hey - don't know if you've seen this yet but it's being reported by multiple sources that 2 battalions of the 11th Airborne -aka the "Arctic Angels" have been placed on standby for deployment to Minnesota. If that *is* true** you be *goddamn* careful!!!! . . . and let us know how y'all need help in all the various ways you might need it.
**just reports coming in right now so does need more verification. . . . but also I could see those numbskulls using false reports like that as a diversion to hide that they're sending them to Greenland

@williwaw Thanks, I hadn’t seen they were actually preparing. We’ll all definitely have to reassess what we’re doing here if they do show up here.
If you haven’t already, telling congressional representatives from your state how unacceptable this is would be a good way to help for now.

... I checked, it's def digital art and not AI, he's a dude on Reddit that slides through my feed every now and then and now I cant find him to credit him, but he's been making stuff for a long time now... sigh, I hate that I feel the need to premptively state something is not AI now, it's fucking gloomy man.
Looks like his pseudonym is 5ner or fivener? Some really nice pixel art!
"AI!" is the modern equivalent of "That's 'shopped!"

My mother was a 12 yr old in the same neighbourhood in 1943.
So this hews close to home for me. I hope it won't for you in the end.

@joost 🫶
@joost anne frank huis was our first stop in amsterdam. heartbreaking and necessary to learn history, though we are still trying hard to repeat it here. *sigh*
@tweedlydo the hard learning for us in the NL during and after WWII was: the evil people are also us. Collaborators.
Goed and Fout were the moral dichotomy afterwards.
But unfortunately a lot of people were in the gray.
The US has not experienced this for a long long time.
It's hard to feel national pride when it's that neighbour in your street informing the Gestapo. :-(

@joost living in an age of hyper-misinformation/disinformation also really complicates things. really feeling like we’re living in a powder keg right now. helicopters were audible until my brain finally gave up around 2am.
@tweedlydo I'll say.
It looks like you're in Minnesota. :-(
I don't know what to say. Apart from: we've been there. But that's 80 yrs ago.
Maybe the upside of the internet is that the well meaning mass of people can coördinate and mobilise.

I had this image in my head this afternoon as we walked through South Minneapolis singing to neighbors (https://mltshp.com/p/1RIIO). Many people waved from their windows, many of them are afraid to leave their homes in fear of ICE. Some of them may be modern day Anne Franks. Grateful this amazing city has also mobilized to deliver supplies to those most targeted.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!! I was hoping for this when I saw that you had resurfaced!
@BennyTheIcepick Thank you for your kind words which totally soothe my biggest insecurities for this thesis: that I was too old (60 in March) and I'd taken too long (started Fall 2019).
On the other hand your words give me space to reflect on this painpoint and recognize that a) I guess I'd always known that the journey wouldn't be short or easy for me at my age - too much to unlearn, and b) I don't know if it could have happened any earlier, when I look back at the journey. Regardless, what I shipped now I am *proud* to put my name on.
Remember I had to change supervisors in Fall 2024 after years of flailing? I was deemed a failure who couldn't write. (our theses need minimum 2 published peer reviewed articles and I had zero as late as Jan 2025).
Rambling here but I guess this will all be part of the decompression of the past couple of years in particular.
