Health clinics are closed, delaying time-sensitive health care appointments, and my bus isn’t coming at all during the draft. People are unable to go grocery shopping, even.

a local store started carrying pilot metropolitan fountain pens and i got all excited and asked what nib sizes they have in stock and was visibly disappointed when they said they only had mediums LOL so i hope that data point gets mentioned to whoever does the stock decisions

again: all i want is for it to be sweater weather for more than one day at a time is this so much to ask

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions…

(I have to go to work. Again. Because I wanted a career. What an idiot.)

cmu carnival -> nfl draft -> pitt commencement -> cmu commencement

idk if theres other stuff happening but this feels like its been looming over my head all spring

the marios podcast guy?

a slight breeze HELPP 😭😭

cmu being like "classes are going to happen as regularly scheduled but you need to figure out how to be there on time" pissed me off too

also how the hell are we supposed to "plan accordingly" when we have no idea how fucked the transit is going to be from traffic downtown?

i think i may have overcorrected slightly and a regular broad nib might have been find to show sheen/shading without being as much of an "oh wow each letter is an entire grid of this dot grid paper" and also without hitting my "this is uncomfortably close to a 0.7 gel pen" ick

ok so because i dont do things by half measures i went and got a kaweco sport in double broad and it is definitely gonna take some getting used to but on the plus side it's also not going to be mistaken for the feeling of "almost fine but not quite" any time soon

A poem Watching My Friend Pretend Her Heart Is Not Breaking by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer On Earth, just a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh six billion tons. Six billion tons equals the collective weight of every animal on earth. Including the insects. Times three. Six billion tons sounds impossible until I consider how it is to swallow grief— just a teaspoon and one might as well have consumed a neutron star. How dense it is, how it carries inside it the memory of collapse. How difficult it is to move then. How impossible to believe that anything could lift that weight. There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars. One is that we cannot see what anyone else has swallowed.

Lately I feel like I keep getting reminders of how right this poem is

can someone please explain to me why usps marks my packages as delivered to my mailbox like an entire day early sometimes

learning about tree law today

throwback to when i made an appointment one time and the paperwork asked what pronouns i used and then the person who read my paperwork proceeded to immediately misgender me 😇

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both
