I don't typically choose books based on gender of the author, but I do have a bit of privilege there being a cis male. At a guess my traditional reading choices have probably been 75-80% male authors. Everything I've read this year and the next eleven books in my queue are all by female authors.

I started making a fountain pen as a gift for a dear friend last August. The friendship ended unexpectedly and I was too distraught to finish until now. I made a small mistake on the cap, no big deal I can shorten it by 2mm. In doing so I made another mistake and had to take 5mm off to correct it.

At one point today I was chatting with a colleague via Slack for work , my daughter via Google chat, a friend via text, a friend via Discord, and a customer via Etsy.
Every conversation carried significantly different vibes

My phone said today "Remember eight years ago today when you posted pictures of the two chessboards you were making? Remember how you never finished either one?"
So I guess that's getting added to the list of projects.
Unfinished picture and SURPRISE! It glows in the dark

I've been single for the past five years and outside of a very brief ill-fated mistake last summer haven't made any real attempts to change that for those five years, and every time I open a dating app I'm reminded why.

Started a new medication for shrinking tumors and with the first prescription they sent a welcome package with a stress ball. The refill arrived with a pair of grippy socks.
Are they trying to tell me something?

I am making progress on the card game I am designing again, which means back to figuring out what I am doing with the art since I do not have the drawing skill to do it myself and the artist I had last Christmas flaked out. My playtest copy is currently using chatgpt images and I hate it

I have mostly focused on turning pens from pre existing kits, but I now have some nibs to make closed end kitless fountain pens and am very excited to start this weekend!

Got to the high school early for a function so I'm sitting in the parking lot listening to the Hunger Games Catching Fire audio book wondering why I was getting nasty looks from the lady next to me until I realized my window was open and listening to the scene Johanna is stripping in the elevator ☠️

Online mental health support has low engagement. However, research finds that online interventions that are engaging, culturally sensitive, and supportive can effectively address the mental health needs of vulnerable college populations.

I've always had fun both making and playing with the dart kits I have posted before, but interest seems to be very niche. I was surprised while at the recent market fair at the attention they received (Apparently dart leagues are very popular in Genoa) so it looks like more coming soon!

A few months ago for the first time in my life at the age of 43 I started letting my facial hair grow for more than the normal 2-3 days worth I would previously normally freak out about and now I'm getting swamped with the most unhinged ads for beard care products. Who told the ad gremlins?!

Forcing myself to list already finished pens before making more, the goal is at least a couple a day until I get through the backlog
The last couple days have been fountain pens (although I have a few more) so sticking with "also sprays water if you think about it" today's theme is Firefighter

I'd been holding off posting some of my fountain pens because I had misplaced the neccesary ink cartridges/ pumps, but I have them in stock again!
These will be available on Etsy soon.
