TWSBI Vac700R and Pilot Vanishing Point are mine...not the cheapest options though. Jetpens has spiral pencil grips that might fit a pen, but I don't know if they'd make it thick enough.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

October 6 is #NationalBadgerDay 🦡🎊🦡 Right now they're building up reserves of body fat to live off during winter. Once temperatures freeze badgers will enter torpor for 2-3 days, slowing metabolism, lowering body temperature, stirring to forage during milder times, then returning to deep sleep

It’s kind of wild to think that Prime Spock’s ultimate fate is to unexpectedly travel to an alternate timeline, watch Vulcan get destroyed, help preserve the Vulcan remnant, and eventually die in the alternate timeline. Just tracking his arc from “The Cage” to DSC to SNW to TOS and beyond. Wild!

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.

My father-in-law had two retirement parties and then got his dream job. Me, I'm one of the lazy people the pundits are talking about, and I would do absolutely nothing if I could. But I might get bored after a decade or two.
