My lovely daughter has been printing these beautiful trans flag whistles, so if they are relevant to your interests, just let me know that you would like some trans whistles and I will send some right out!

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.

The other new thing I have been playing with are these pride guillotine earrings - for fans of the French revolution or just people who want to make a statement about late stage capitalism. solderandbubblegum.com/product-tag/...

These bookshelf clickers are a lot of fun to play with, and I made them for three different 'flavors' of magic users, so whether you vibe as a fantasy sorceress, a potion-making apothecary or a necromancer, we have you covered! solderandbubblegum.com/product-tag/...

If you know me, you know that I work with several different groups on getting free whistles out into the community. Completely on my own, separate from any of these groups, I am distributing rainbow dick whistles. If anyone wants a batch of free dick whistles, let me know at rainbowdix@proton.me

These are actually really beautiful! (Beware, if you click the image, you will see dickwhistles)

Somehow I have gone from printing whistles for the revolution to printing dick whistles for the revolution. Does this surprise anyone who knows me? Not in the slightest.

Excited to see that my favorite filament brand is on Bluesky now! Welcome to the party, @protopasta.bsky.social Currently printing these amazing gem-toned bitonal whistles, both with their filaments! I have personally shipped over 8k whistles! Want to get involved? www.riotgrrrlrevolution.org
Several 3d printed whistles held near some working 3-d printers. They are printed in beautiful, shimmery amethyst and ruby shades.

Printing a totally normal number of whistles. Thanks again to Protopasta for donating this gorgeous red filament to the cause. Want to donate the next round? www.riotgrrrlrevolution.org

This makes me think of my own favorite 90s scent - While I've seen the related Love's Baby Soft perfume a few times over the years, I was never able to find Love's Rain Scent after age 14-ish - I wonder if I'd even like it anymore if I found it now!

My eldest daughter posted this last night: Somehow it is a perfect analogy for my life rn that the human I brought into the world saved someone's life at a burger joint using CPR training she got just last week while upbeat pop music blared in the background. (They didn't even comp her check!)

Seeing reports of Google pushing even more AI garbage into users' searches. I tried to keep Chrome because I do like its development tools, but enough is enough.

I had a Commodore 64 for as long as I can remember, but I used that more like a gaming console. The first computer I used as a proper computer was an IBM PS/1 that my Dad brought home and promptly got frustrated with and gave to me.

I just wanted to share my prints of these awesome organizers! I printed them in Solder and Bubblegum colors! 🥰
Two 3d printed desk organizers sit side by side in a makerspace. They are neatly filled with pens, markers, stickers and various maker supplies like glue, solder and an electronic screwdriver.

Take the fictional character quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... On the one hand, all four of mine are kind of my heroes - that being said, I scanned through several I didn't know too, so take this with a grain of salt...

The color change are fun for fidget toys, since those interact with your hands enough to actually get the color to change. Glow in the dark is fun at Halloween! I got a spool this past October and made this ghost and a few trick or treat lanterns and haven't touched it since!

Mary Sturgeon @enchantressofnumbers.com · 19/05/2025
Thank you! Surely I can fit another spool or two in here somewhere! (Note the glaring lack of rainbow filament)😂

Also (re: cover art) When I published my first title, I learned to use GIMP to make my own cover art out of assets I got from free sites. It was a lot of effort to figure out, and the cover is... not great, but it's mine, and I'm proud of it anyway. I learned a lot from the process of building it.

Apparently I did something right... (My daughter, responding to some asshole on some social media platform)
A post where some douche says: It's one nation under GOD, NOT: Muhammed, Vishnu, Buddha, Joseph Smith, Baal, Woke. My daughter responds: 

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the LGBTQIA of America. To the divas, for which it slayyys serving pussy boots the house down. One nation, undivided, under woke.  This is my pledge of allegiance that I say every day.

It's on the nose, but I honestly kind of love Peach Endometriosis as a band name...

So the things they never prepare you for about parenting is when you get to be a matriarch and answer questions about the family religion from all of the young ones. Like this conversation I had with my youngest's partner today:
A screenshot from Discord where my youngest's partner asks: i have a norse mythology question
what the fuck is with svartalfheim and nidavellir?
it seems some people say they're both the same realm and some say they are two seperate ones?
and I answer:
Ok, here's the thing to understand about all of Norse mythology...

Newest dystopian hellscape sign: I was searching for a new job, because the current nightmare has already tanked my small business, and saw this listing where they want a human to essentially act as a TA at a K-12 school while the AI 'handles the instruction' Worst timeline ever.
A screenshot of text from a job listing that says: "While AI handles academic instruction, you'll forge meaningful connections and nurture student growth - the very essence of why you entered education. Based in Arizona, you'll be liberated from lesson planning and grading, concentrating entirely on inspiring students to shatter expectations and reach unprecedented heights."

@nullblade.com Loving the feedback Plenty of Fish is getting so far!
