Hey, so about the coming 2nd US Civil War:
Instead of the conservative, minoritarian states seceding, howsabout us progressive, liberal states bow out?
We lack common borders to make a geopolitical unit, but maybe we could become the sovereign unity of majoritarian rule? Pool resrouces, open membership to blue cities like Ashland, NC.

I've just published a 3d model for a printable whistle with the number for LUCE on it. It shows up well if you put in a color change, which is pretty easy in Prusa Slicer, at least. I didn't design the original whistle, just added the phone number to one that I've found prints and works well. Hope it helps. Feel free to share with anyone who can make good use of it.
Dennis Lehane, whose best known books like Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River are set in #Boston, expertly described local tone and humor:
"I was in Miami for graduate school, and I remember worrying that I was losing the Boston voice. Right? So I went back home and I ran into a guy and I said, 'How you doing?' He’d been kind of a brawler.
"And he said, 'Uh, I’m good. You know, I got stabbed a couple months ago,' and I was like, 'What happened?' He tells me the story. He says, 'I was in Faneuil Hall and, and I got into beef with this guy. And anyway, he stabbed me.' And he said, 'I dunno what you’ve heard, but it really takes the fight out of a guy.'
"And I thought that’s it. That’s the voice. That right there, it’s, 'I don’t know what you’ve heard.' Like you may have heard that, you know, getting stabbed is kind of like a hot stone massage, you know? And then the incredible understatement — not 'I was praying for my God,' not 'it hurt so much.' No. 'It kind of takes the fight out of a guy.'
