I'm going to need everyone who has never been on the receiving end of OB-GYN healthcare to read this thread. Also, this is a mere FRACTION of what we go through. And I say WE because these are not one-off, outlier, medical extreme cases that need these procedures. These are "normal" check-ups.

This is amazing! I planned out a purse that I wanted to build out of old RAM chips and pink plastic ages ago, then never finished it because I just didn't really need a purse anymore. Now I am wondering if I should make it into a cyberdeck!

We are partnering with Common Area Maintenance (CAM) to develop and use the El Rey Building, a previously abandoned 30K sq ft building in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. This partnership will provide a long-term, sustainable location for our Six-Week Workshop. www.clarionwest.org/2026/04/27/c...

Architect rendering of the El Rey building. On the ground floor are retail spaces for mission-based organizations, a gallery, classroom, and performance space. On the next floor are 18 sliding scale rooms for partner residency programs. In the top floors are one- and two-bedroom affordable housing units for cultural workers.

I had high school jobs before this one but my first job that paid the rent was 5.85 an hour in 1998 as a legal secretary (though I later found out that I was actually illegally doing some tasks you were supposed to be a paralegal to do!)

Last night I dreamed that I was walking through the White House with Barack Obama as he explained all the necessary repairs and I woke up to rush to the Internet to see if it was finally happening but alas, it appears to just have been a wishful thinking dream. Maybe next time...

I’m as guilty as saying this as the next person but it’s worth remembering ICE has not gone away or pulled back. They’re just quieter. whistlerequests@proton.me for 100-3000 whistles, absolutely free in the US if you need them for your org…

At first, when the rails came off I kept waiting for someone 'in charge' to *do something* Then I realized that no one is coming and if we need saving, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work. I don't have any tattoos, but if I get one one day, it will say We Keep Us Safe.

By the way, I have stepped back somewhat from whistle coordination because I was preparing for/recovering from surgery! But many of the whistle goblins are still working quietly behind the scenes, and our total is close to 1.5 million whistles shipped to every state in the country. 💓

While I am still getting a lot of whistles out there locally, the request line has slowed *way* down. If you want to request some free whistles to get out in your community it's a great time for it! Send an address & how many whistles you think you can get out there to riotgrrrlrevolution@proton.me

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

I am so disappointed to hear this. I feel like I'm reaching the end of my ability to withstand social media. My first thought was that I could only join another platform if they promised not to incorporate AI, then I realized that I would never believe a promise like that.

Post by Jay on Bluesky

Today, we're excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It's something completely new - an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

Translation: Bluesky is about to be crawling with as much 'agentic' bullshit as Twitter, and I can't stay to watch it happen.

In whistle-related news, I'm running low on filament for whistles, and the WC wishlist has slowed way down! When I ship out this box I'm packing up, I'll pass 40,000 whistles that I personally have shipped to people in need, all for free. Help me do good! www.amazon.com/registries/g...

If you want to help keep us in filament, this is the absolute best way to do it. Protopasta is the absolute best filament (one of my printers is on its last legs, and will only print reliably if I feed it Protopasta!) and they are aligned with the cause, which makes it even better!

Several 3d printed whistles held near some working 3-d printers. They are printed in beautiful, shimmery amethyst and ruby shades.
