With the uptick in ICE activity & the resulting surge in whistle requests (get 100-3k free at 3dwhistles.com), I'm reminding folks that you can support the printing of whistles by giving $20 to @protopasta.bsky.social, who in turn sends DEEPLY DISCOUNTED filament to our printers!

If you long for a machine to live your life so you don't have to maybe you should forget about AI and make some changes.

In all honesty, I'm less annoyed by the "must declare a party" bit than I am by the "receive mailers from the wrong gotdamn county's party committee" bit. The mailers are truly the pettiest reason I haven't declared a party.

(L.) Wednesday Addams @lizzywednesday.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Neither does NJ. (Well, technically, you *can* vote in the primaries if you're an Independent, but they make you register with a party, which means you get stupid amounts of mail from the wrong county's committee before you get so disgusted with them you change back to Independent in a month.)

I first saw it on PBS (WNET-13!) when I was a teenager. They used to run a Saturday night movie; my dad had raved about this one, so we watched together.

I'd like to say I commented last year about thoroughly enjoying The Uninvited, it being the first-ever VHS I owned as mine, rather than as a family copy, but I cannot recall. Truth is, I was likely trying to find a spooky legal case for Torts instead of indulging. *sigh*

Thank you GS of Southern Appalachians council for the perfect kickoff to our troop year; your "Coat of Many Colors" program helped us think about ways to live like Dolly & make our part of the world a better place. We got our patches & they're perfect:
A hand holds the Girl Scouts pf Southern Appalachians council's "Coat of Many Colors" earned patch which was inspired by Dolly Parton's song, and approved in 2009. 

It is a rectangular embroidered patch, with a dark blue background & golden yellow border. Across the top, in golden yellow, is "Coat of Many Colors." The centered patch image is a patchwork heart with a hand-sewing needle stuck into it, as if a stitcher has paused their work. In the lower right-hand corner is an embroidered "Love, Dolly" signature; in the lower left-hand corner is a small GS Trefoil & "GSCSA" for "Girl Scout Council of the Southern Appalachians."

The patch program is designed for girls at the Brownie level and above; my troop members are 11th & 12th grade high schoolers at the Ambassador level.
