The Revolution Will Be 3D Printed

I'm still beyond sad and bewildered, and most of the time angry.

Today a friend gave me this:

She made it with her 3D printer. It's to be hung on the zipper pull of your winter coat.

That's the rebel loon, for those of you not from Minnesota. People have been putting it on buttons, embroidered patches, stickers, and all other manner of wearables. And on flags! Now I have one, too.

The loon is our state bird, and someone glommed it together with the Star Wars rebellion symbol somewhere along the line. Daughter Number Three-Point-One tells me other state birds are being used similarly. 

Whistles were the first big news in 3D printing for the resistance, and those are still being made. 

Be ready with your whistles and your rebel birds if and when the fascists come for your state.
