This is my Staedtler 1.3m Triangular-grip pencil by the way. It's nice having a beefier lead size if you're like me and snap the 0.7mm leads all the time.

I've followed the #fountainPens hashtag for years as a bit of a pen-head, but as I sit here using my nice Staedtler 1.3mm mech pencil, I'm wondering where are all my pencil homies?

Is there a mechanical pencil, or maybe graphite-enthusiast, hashtag I'm missing? Do we need one?

Excuse the inappropriately-excessive number of tags – trying a few to see what pops up or gathers compadres.

Once, I had to teach a course on #robots in medicine, society, and the arts to high school students. A prof there told me, triumphantly: we have iPads! And I replied that I needed just #blackboards, #paper, and #pencils. During each lesson, I gave students 30 minutes to solve a problem I posed to them, writing on a #piece of paper. Then, I showed how that problem had been solved with tech, and why.
Also in the latest years, with the boom of #genAI, I kept asking students (at the University) to #write by #hand.

..I bought 50 #pencils.. I wanted to see if I can use them all up in a single year with normal scribbling use.. but first I removed all of the erasers because I like that pencils are #indelible by choice not by function..
