“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.
Lenacapavir is already sold as a treatment for H.I.V. infections that are resistant to other medications, at roughly $42,000 per patient per year. (Few individuals pay the full cost.) Lenacapavir taken to prevent H.I.V. infection, a regimen called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, will be sold at a list price of $28,218, according to Gilead. Aids and HIV ‘HIV-ending’ drug could be made for just $25 per patient a year, say researchers As regulator prepares to approve lenacapavir in the US, campaigners are urging the manufacturer, Gilead, to make it ‘available and affordable for all who need it’

This is for a very specific community:

Fountain Pen folks: do not buy from Ferris Wheel Press.

ICYMI, they posted an ad on IG for a Harry Potter collab line of pens.

During Pride month.

And if you’re a FWP affiliate? Might want to reevaluate that with your own morals and ethics.

There is no separating the art from the artist. If you buy Harry Potter shit, you are funding transphobic campaigning. It’s that simple.

Just picked up one of the limited edition Montblanc Around the World in 80 Days Coal Blue inks. Just put it in my new Kaweco Al-Sport Piston 😍

Bluesky Fountain Pen Friends: my friend wants to get a fountain pen for her daughter who hasn’t written with one before. She normally uses the Uniball Zento pens .5-.7mm. What would you suggest? Anything under $100. But not really cheap starters. I think it’s meant to be special.

I cannot convey to you how excited I am to look at fountain pens in the UK this trip and France/spain around Xmas. I’m going to the montblanc store in London for ink and parfum, but I will stare longingly at the pens as well (Too pricey but fun to fantasize about).
