In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

retrobriting is very neat but i haven't ever tried it... i worry that i would be disappointed with the results not being as restorative as i want, or i'd damage the material, or bleach the wrong area, etc currently i don't have anything i want to attempt it on, but

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I keep yelling about this every time I see it and I see it A LOT. I yell b/c inaccurate language in headlines irritates me but more especially because: THE BAD GUYS (gender-neutral) ARE PURPOSELY DECEPTIVE IN USING THE TERM "IMMIGRATION"! THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS! STOP FUCKING ENABLING IT!

A sleepy male Wood Duck this morning at my local pond. #ducks #birds #nature

someone called some of my favorite inks "soulless" oooooo people are wrong on the internet

oh dang i thought sailor was discobtinuing only the colored-body highace neos & keeping the clear-body ones, but they're discontinuing it entirely! only their calligraphy pens at that price point now-- makes sense, that was already basically the only one i saw much in stores

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

i didn't bring any instant coffee to work with me today _(:3

There’s a lot of crap that has flowed into the harbour from recent rain, but my little Stingray friend is back and happily enjoying feeding in the shallows near our place this morning. It’s so darn cute. (excuse the stupid leaf blowers in the background)

there's an election soon, so i've been seeing lots of politicians/assistants doing greetings on my way to work recently. today i saw that the jcp, which i already would favor, is apparently aiming to shorten the work day-- not what i'd call a pressing issue, but one i will always support 👍

look at this chunky pen??? lmao

uuu low fever but going to work bc too low to justify staying home

next time i clean my kakunos (going to be a whike yet) i'm going to swap the nibs bc i usually prefer the ef (currently on a clear body) to write with, but prefer how the purple & white body (currently fitted w an f nib) looks & can find it more easily in my pencil case
