"happy holidays, I want to be nice and we both know that it's better this way"

Thanks all, I was nearly late for an appointment today because I got so caught up looking at things on JetPens and wanting everything

/sliiides on in

Any recs for a beginner fountain pen? Been thinking about getting one to see if it makes me actually want to journal/to try drawing with, but I can't find anything nearby that isn't a sealed Speedball that I can't test. :V

(also that color combo sounds A+ for that purpose)

Okay good. Always have to check when I have viscerally opposing feelings

Hell yeah! I'm gonna swing back on in a few, after I finish tipsy-decorating my tree, if you're around.

Got stuck on Exodus, since the other two main centers seemed full. P: Working my way through black mage, mostly.

I too am glad! No idea how it would have turned out if I hadn't, but it definitely didn't hurt. Harm reduction good.

Washington has a standing order that lets you get from pharmacies without a prescription, and the site above links to distribution programs in and out of the state.

It's stupid easy to use, small & easy to carry, and might make a difference if you're just out and about leaving a frickin' Autozone.

RIGHT like there are buses here, technically, but they run an average of once every 30-60 minutes and it takes 30-45 minutes to get there and I don't, actually, want to spend nearly an hour to go five miles and get drunk! Get good, America!

Sounds delightful. I have to drive to and from dinner today, so no doing that for me. Boo, let me be excessive, too..

I am not, thank you

I remember this every once in a blue moon and curse your name

Y e a h. I also don't do ID anymore (lab closed because, of course, we lost our ongoing government grant) so I slid over to protein genetics, but the twice-yearly minimum panic about how funding meetings will go and whatnot... yeah not fun

I've had a couple people ask me for advice on getting into research and I'm like... a lot of dark thoughts, passivity, and deaths by disease

2/10 do not recommend but at least I am employed I guess

I'm sure there's no one answer because gender and society are fucky, but I'm a cis woman so I only have my brand of insecurities to extrapolate from
