Want to learn more about trans Texans? We surveyed 90 of them to learn how they're dealing with an increasingly-hostile political climate. Almost everyone said they're feeling more anxious and less safe in public. @dallasnews.com www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

ALSO. Keep in mind paper matters with fountain pens, too. I have Rhodia notebook that I exclusively use fountain pens on and it's so fun to write with.

I like scratchy pens with a super fine nib, so keep that in mind, but I really love my Platinum Preppy pen. I got the JetPens black pen sampler last year and it was a great way to test more inexpensive pens: www.jetpens.com/JetPens-Begi...

For a slightly pricier pick, the Lamy Safari rules too!

OK, listen, fountain pens can be way cheaper than people expect (like $3 to $5 for a perfectly decent pen cheap) and I will die on the hill that it's an accessible hobby.

Dear god, I thought maybe you were joking with your earlier post about how it looked bad, but that looks BAD.

I was laid off from my job a few weeks ago, and my main takeaway at the moment is that I think stores should be obligated to give you one free little treat per day if you're unemployed. It doesn't have to be big. I'll take a small black coffee or something. Just anything would be nice tbh.

Drop the "h"!

What I appreciate here is that the FT scored a video interview with Sam Altman (a high profile get!) for a conceit where he makes lunch and then another FT writer just ruthlessly savages his kitchen appliances and cooking techniques. www.ft.com/content/b180...

Also, some of us are trans men with a terminal case of trans guy babyface. :(

This is so incredibly sad.
