It's about COVID memorial day. Should have been black ink, save that it was about resilience and hope, so blue is ok?

This makes me realise that I'm intersectionally organised in my shelving: there's an intricate logic that has to do with genre, but also with level of interest/reachability from my desk or chair, time of acquisition, size, and authorship. It makes perfect sense to me - and probably looks like a mess

yes, ideas do flow differently - and fountain pens are less hard on the hand. I also simply have a nostalgic attachment to all the rituals that go with it.
(Showing my age here: back in my primary school, we weren't allowed to use biros and desks had ink wells although we used 'modern' cartridges)

I should add that I've had this same view for 15+ years and have never seen deer before. Never even knew there were any on campus!

That's why more structured support is needed: ridiculous that it should be so much a matter of chance whether you find the right people in your environment and manage to make it through that phase of the profession. Too much there that potentially reinforces existing privileges, as well.
