Lizziebrat approved of the book I was reading the other day.

I'm so pleased that my little collection of FUCKs pulled in some monies for this year's @romancingthevote.com shenanigans! #RomancingTheVote www.32auctions.com/organization... www.32auctions.com/organization...

A necklace and pair of earrings with FUCK word charms and light blue crystal accents.

You guys wanna see the second thing I submitted for #RomancingTheVote? Of course you do! Much like my first submission, there's an entire mood going on. I might have chosen a theme. For, you know, reasons. 😈 Enjoy!

Hey, you guys wanna see what I just submitted for this years auction? Yeah, I think you do. Last time around, I had a lot of embroidery and cross-stitch projects on hand to offer up. This year? Not so much. But I did have... other things. I think it suits the mood. #RomancingTheVote

A glass bottle on a metal chain. Inside is a single, wooden "FUCK" word charm. 😈

The whole article is on the money, but holy shit is this an indictment of contemporary America.

Screenshot from the article:

Between 1949 and 1969, every economic expansion saw at least two-thirds of income growth go to the bottom 90% of the population. If those postwar wage trends had continued, two Rand economists recently estimated, by 2018 the bottom 90% of the population would have been earning 67% more than they actually were. Instead, between 1975 and 2018, it was the top 10% who made big gains, taking in $47 trillion more than they would have if postwar wage trends had continued.

Well, that's a new one for me. Inked up a new fountain pen and testing it out, as you do, and wanted to test out writing with the nib upside-down, just to be extra. And as I was writing, a flake of the nib plating came off. Like, uh, what?

Close-up of a flake from the nib. It's at... 6x magnification, I think?

Did you know the lines in lined paper are actually a diamond dot pattern? We do now.

As compensation for all the reblogs of discourse re allegations of Swalwell's sexual misconduct, I present this #Caturday offering.

Oh, how I miss slider keyboards! The Samsung feature phone with a slide out keyboard, back in the very early days of smartphones, was my first foray into texting and it was a joy compared to contemplating the attempt on a T9 numberpad. I still kinda miss that phone, not gonna lie.

A double image of a Samsung TE063 feature phone, with slide out keyboard. On the left, the keyboard is out, showing white text on a black background, with the number pad & navigation keys plus display screen on the top half being teal accents on a white background. On the right, an angled view of the phone closed, showing the teal accents along the edge. Damn do I miss tactile buttons!

Our nervous and vaguely grumpy middle aged Newbs. You can't hear it, but he's snoring in this photo.

Whelp, that's one shimmer experiment gone wrong. It's a shame, cuz I thought a bent nib would show off nicely, but... well. 😅 I'll have to try the same ink in my Kaküno, since that pen did well with the Colorverse shimmer. Might just end up dedicating one of my Pilots to sporkles. We'll see!

A thing I just saw in Tumblr that feels... pertinent to the moment.

Meme of a stormtrooper from The Mandalorian. Text reads, "Did Moff Gideon just tell me to put that baby in shackles? We have baby shackles? Holy shit...are we the bad guys?"

Thread with info about Minnesota National Guard mobilization. Sharing the screenshot with alt text, which shouldn't be too much to ask, but here we are.

Text: At Gov. Walz's direction, the Minnesota National Guard have been mobilized and are staging to support local law enforcement and emergency management agencies.

Okay, hear me out.... EITHER Jagged Little Pill, by Alanis Morissette It was pretty much THE defining album of my post-highschool youth. OR That very specific performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. The one my dad loved so much he made a cassette copy, ON BOTH SIDES, to have in the car.

When you brave THIS on the weekend, it's only to avoid tomorrow's forecast wind chills of -15 to -25. Also, it feels hella rude to spend 5-10 minutes clearing your car only to get in and hear Bing Crosby dreaming of white Christmases on the radio. Like, damn! 😅

Even though my ramen is closer than this picture makes it look, it's absolutely on point for how inaccessible it is. I cannot eat my ramen around/over the cat, alas. I am cruelly denied my lunch. 😭

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

A crochet reproduction of Cassandra, the self-styled last human from the Ecclestone/Tenent era of Doctor Who, a patch of flesh with eyes and a mouth stretched across a frame. It is haunting in it's resemblance to the original imagery from the show, despite being crochet. All that's missing is a demand to, and I quote, "Moisturize me!"

The adorableness of kitty when it's chilly cannot be overstated.

A few of mutuals follow this one and boy, howdy, is that not a great look. Just a friendly reminder to occasionally take out the trash, folks.

Screenshot of @ceu---azul.bsky.social responding to a post about an arson attack on a mosque with two people inside and generally calling out Islamophobia, as one does, with the following:

"I am anti-violence

however the muslims [sic] as a whole really deserve to be terrorised, [sic] since they have the whole planet terrified of them"

I find it hilarious that it may well be the largest pen in my collection. I think of click pens as small, but this one's on par with a TWSBI Eco or Jinhao X450. 😅 The nib is slightly tilted to the right. Presumably this is to get a good writing angle, but maybe not great for lefties?

Comparison of my full-size fountain pens, from top to bottom:
Jinhao 10, dark blue
TWSBI Eco, Persian Green
Jinhao X450, red

Pilot Kaküno, clear/lilac
Sailor Pro Gear Slim, orihime

I skip the converter on my Pilots, so I figured I'd do the same here and popped in a Pilot ink cartridge. If nothing else, their ink is always well behaved. Y'all, it writes beautifully. Smooth and easy. I used it last night, and this morning it was the same. No drying out so far.
