Fountain pens are nice. But most often only on good paper. Good paper is good for everything. A Blackwing pencil or a Cinnamoroll gel pen will write beautifully on good paper, just like a Sailor 1911 will. Paper, paper.

I love paper.

Image from RÚV (Ragnar Visage) of the eruption that just started, again, in Grindavík. It lies right through the defensive walls and the new fissure is 500 meters from the nearest house in town.

Hosting an “election cafe” is a big tradition in Iceland, where the political parties host an open house where you can drop by to get a waffle and coffee.

This is how they actually choose to sell their garbage. Ghoulish.

And someone made this meme on reddit for a character in the story, which warmed my cold-blooded heart.

This quote is spot on!!! Honored to be part of this lineup at Reactor/Tor. There are some books there that I’ve got to read!

Eruption started in Iceland just outside Grindavík, apparently by the defensive barriers erected to protect the power plant. We’ve been waiting for this for weeks, they were just letting people back into the area.

“happy” hour
