The handmade noodles here are SO good btw. Cal still likes the bougie yat yat seng hor fun more but this one is nice. The cucur udang is also acceptable, got lots of small udang and not too floury.

This piece from last year is one of my favorites. I particularly like the contrast between the warm and cool tones.

It’s always nice to see lovely stationery stores that sell fountain pens!

With Joann closing, and it being the most widespread source of garment fabric, we’re gonna need a tutorial on understanding fabric (and thus how to buy it online if there’s no garment fabric near you), huh?

In case you see me quoted in an article about sensitivity reading that just came out in the SCMP, I find the framing of the article, especially the opening, really problematic, and am quite disappointed. Not the whole "censorship" discussion again. I'd not have agreed to the interview if I knew.

Because I will always repeat this when we see measles circulating again: if you were born 1957-1972 and did attend college or 1957-1987 and didn't attend college, you should get your MMR immunity tested with a simple lab test or one adult dose of MMR booster if your insurance won't cover labwork.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

Oh good, people have finally figured it out.

This is a really good thread on why these types of accounts exist and what the goal is! Manipulating the temperature of the conversation and setting people on edge serves a *lot* of purposes. #BadActorBingo

The thing I'd most love tonight is for people to scroll through our catalogue and say anything about it. About Dhiyanah's art. About something that looks interesting. About something you've read. Anything. Maybe if people aren't spending otherwise tomorrow, they'll buy a book. atthisarts.com/cat

You may have seen this elsewhere, but I'm also sharing it and acting as verification: I know who this is for. I know their current situation. For their safety, please don't speculate... but they do so much for ALL writing communities. So if you can help... 💓 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-bel...

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...

I’ve been working on designs for the first time since I closed up shop almost 4 years ago! Finally trying to make the stuff that has been stewing in my head as I just kept gathering more and more hobbies these last few years– First set up is dedicated to my love of fountain pens 😌💗🖋️

☁️ Hi, I’m Celery (she/her) and I’m a Chinese-American artist ☁️ My illustrations tend to be cozy, colorful, and inspired by daily life, hobbies, cottagecore / fairycore / academia / celestial vibes, and occasionally media that I consume and am passionate about ✨

Out of curiosity, is there any fountain pen ink shade that comes close to International Klein Blue that is not Noodler's BSB? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...

It's NEXT WEEK. Cold Steel is released!

Just donated--please donate if you're able, or spread the word! @rsagarcia.bsky.social is cool and deserves our support! gofund.me/b99aae3f

The Fountain Pen feed is one of Bluesky’s best. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Oh yeah... There is a new Singapore-based SFF magazine. Looking for Asian writers. Boost and better still... submit! sengkangsfq.cargo.site

What’s a deeper own goal isn’t just the firing, but who they’re firing: Junior coders. They’re also shutting the door to new coders. So where will the future older coders come from?

Sale is going well. Just 2 days left to save 25% off everything! Get your Canadian made fountain pen here!

Wrote a little something. The thing about TWSBIs is that they have ridiculous amount of ink. My stub nib (upper right) is almost empty but you wouldn't know it from the ink it puts down.

Rs in the House passed a garbage fire of a budget that hurts the most vulnerable. The fight is far from over and this thread lays it all out. We have work to do. Call your reps. LFG!

There is no way for for “democracy” to function in a world that looks like this

Pardon if you're surprised at my progressive rhetoric and rage. I'm not sure which part of my anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, feminist, queer self convinced you otherwise.

Monolith was almost 30 years old. It was one of the few studios capable of making excellent games in wildly different genres. They made Blood, F.E.A.R., Condemned, and Shadow of Mordor. Closing them down is a colossal loss. I hope all the devs will still find a place in the industry.

Stop being so wonderful I’ve got chores to do!!

AAA is fucked. AAAA is fucked. AA is fucked. Indie is fucked. It's all fucked. I've never seen more across-the-board devastation in this industry in the decade-and-a-half I've been here.

And here's @indivisible.org on what you can do if your MoC is a coward who hides from you

I'm sorry to hear this, I would recommend the Colorverse x Smruti Pens Indigo mentioned in this thread which I purchased at the STL Pen Show last year, it's a lovely deep and saturated blue fountain pen ink!

Hey y'all, If you are in need of fountain pen ink or accessories & want to support a small, minority AND woman-owned business... My friend, the owner of Smruti Pens, has had major health challenges lately and has been unable to attend pen shows, their primary income source. www.SmrutiPens.com
