Speaking as a politics junkie, please just lay the fuck off for a couple of days.

Dog cognition. How hot is David Gyazi, or Gary Oldman. Smart corvids. Is analysis dead? (Inside joke.) Why 4 spaces is better than 8 spaces and 2 spaces both. Stamp collecting. Making literally *anything* that isn't more hate. The history of science. The *insane* active immune system. World famous musicians who are still underrated. Categories of song that only have like 3 entries. How many fucking varieties of potato there are.

*Anything*. But let politics rest until Monday.

The right boob for you. Does your cat love you? Your cat. Your dog. Your mouse. Your fish. Your anything that gives you joy. Yarn. Fountain pens. The time you met famous person and they were cool. How rudely colorful your grandma was. How do eyes even fucking work? Shakespeare, George Eliot, Edith Wharton. Edward Gibbon's freakish forehead. The many versions of fairy chess. How fucking cool was Dover Press. That Rembrandt guy.

@GeePawHill my favorite fountain pen is a TWSBI Eco with Diamine "Bilberry" purple-blue ink. It looks like a dab pen. It's got a purple cap and a purple twisty end piston bit (guess my favorite color) which glow blue in the dark, and the rest of it is clear plastic so you can see how much ink is inside. (A lot.)

@indi @GeePawHill bonus point for Diamine.

@indi @GeePawHill I was half surprised to discover they are based somewhere in Liverpool. I was very pleased when they responded to my "do you have a fountain pen ink that will do for Pantone xyz" with "you know this doesn't work of course but our ABC is as close as you'll get" :)

@Susan_calvin @GeePawHill that's fantastic! Pantone color matching fountain pen ink is really going above and beyond.

@indi @GeePawHill clearly a lost cause with a fountain pen yet worth the candle.
