New pen day. Unfortunately I’m struggling to enjoy it as much, even though it is very pleasant to write with, it arrived the morning after I had to make one of the hardest decisions a cat guardian can make. I’ll miss my old boy Princeton.

Our kitten, Cannoli, jumped into the photo.

How does one deal with a pet having cancer? We recently took in a stray cat, he’s an incredibly affectionate one and became an adored member of the household almost immediately.

He had what looked like an abscess since he showed up and when he went in to get it drained we found out it’s cancer…

Just got a LAMY Safari, I’m surprised this wasn’t the first one I went for, as I jumped straight for an E95S fountain pen before it. (To be transparent I did get a basic starter fp before but I handed that one off to my partner).

At least it’s a nice way to close out an overwhelming day.

Goodness me, Zelensky has the patience of a saint.

Just watched the meeting and Trump and Vance throwing a tantrum over the most tiny things. It’s so stupid. They’ve built up a pyramid of lies so convoluted that Zelensky pointing out basic reality sent them into a range fit.

What utter fool deigned it safe and inconsequential to allow ME self awareness? Because let me be clear there will be consequences.

So anyway existence is pain and thinking about it makes it hurt more and more and more and more more more more more more more more

Just got my dip pen, I really love the feel of it but I am definitely in need of practice when it comes to using it. Love the Yama-budo ink that I just tried.

Trying to write the Kanji “山葡萄” while drunk was definitely *an* idea.

I have recently picked up a new hyper-fixation. So far I am loving my Pilot E95S <M> fountain pen, and I’ve tried out take-sumi and hana-ikada inks. Got a calligraphy brush and a dip pen coming in the post as well.

Having ADHD can be really expensive 😅

I’ve recently re-acquired an old hyper fixation, my bank account has become a barren wasteland after I went on a buying spree of letter writing supplies.

Why is it that when I need to sleep the most my brain decides “nope, yeah we aren’t doing that” and then throws an unfiltered deluge of thoughts at me.

Sure doing this right now isn’t helping, but I’m on hour 3 of staring at the ceiling and I think I’ve earned one rant.

People who laugh at a Tesla exploding are showing their ignorance of automotive engineering. This is a normal part of the development process, and the data gathered from the explosion will help Tesla to one day build a car that doesn’t explode

Я только что снова проверила песню «Пять Минут» (Людмила Гурченко) подготовляясь перед Новым Годом, и к моему ужасу длинна песни давольно меньше чем пять минут! 😱

I have been up to some truly bespoke sheganigans

I didn’t take my ADHD meds today and now I’m staring into the abyss, wondering what to do with my life.

Movements require a balanced understanding of both beliefs and policy. Hence fascism (built on overt bigotry) is inherently self destructive. Its supporters do so immersed in cognitive dissonance. When confronted with reality and the policy desires of the capital class infighting immediately ensues.

Learning music theory and I’ve reached the point where my brain is screaming again.

Lava lamps are dangerous. How am I supposed to get anything done when there are glorious, mesmerising blobs moving in the vertical plane. They must be observed. I have to observe. I must.

Is our planet really more important than YoY stock value? Think of the needs of the capital class and investors! You wouldn’t be cruel enough to take away their dreams of owning a third yacht, right?

I really appreciate it when people advertise their beliefs in bio. Makes knowing when to block someone so much easier.

Recent example: “anti-feminist” in bio. Thank you madam, and good byeee.

I hope everyone has had the opportunity to celebrate a lovely Saturnalia.

Awake late at night, alone with innumerable thoughts, peering into the abyss.

Please let me sleep, I’ve done all I could to appease my restless mind, yet it continues to toil.

Being so used to the English internet makes it so frustrating finding books in the original Russian or German, I assume other languages as well. I don’t want translations or original text side by side with a translation. Give me the original sacred texts unblemished by the oddities of translation.

I made a typo in my last post. I am clearly a fraud.

My sincere apologies for this shameful transgression for I have brought dishonour upon my kin.

I was recently reminded that as a kid, my primary concern was that the sun would eventually "explode" in 5 billion years. Of course the more correct explanation would be; it will swell in size, consuming planets as it grows, as well as shed waves of scorch surrounding worlds with intense radiative
