All right, truth time, I *hate* to do this (especially when so many others are worse off), but I've fallen behind this month. I need to find a paying job soon; I can't live off my credit cards forever. I would appreciate any help you can give or share on your social media. TU. gofund.me/2b0c1cc3f
A lovely thread for #fountainpen lovers:
Lately the only part of Bluesky to bring me any joy has been the fountain pens feed. Consider this an expression of my gratitude.

Rev. Mariann Budde started her Episcopal work as rector in Minneapolis so she knows the area, too.
Yesterday I got to sit down (well, stand in a crowd) with Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington who made headlines last year for her sermon asking Trump to "have mercy" on migrants.
A year later, she's in Minneapolis, preaching the same message. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/o...

One year after she urged Trump to have mercy, Bishop Budde leads clergy protests in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — 'I don't think a year ago we could have fathomed how quickly and how dramatically this country would change,' Budde told RNS in Minneapolis.

"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."
After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"
"This, too, is magic."
