31, They/Them - Main interest is #fountainpens but I occasionally dabble in #tarot and #videogames
I love tracking a package and seeing it go from California to New Jersey, then suddenly Arkansas when I live in Pennsylvania. I always get this feel of “YOU WERE RIGHT THERE?!? Just go over the border?!?”
@lostletters that’s fair! I really hate that it’s an exclusive title, I just don’t think it makes sense. AND I also feel it’s especially rude that you can play on Switch as a game share but only for one area. If the Switch can do that, it should be able to run the whole game. But I’m sure that’s the “teaser” aspect to get ppl to buy the Switch 2.
#Pokopia has completely taken over my life these days, and everything else has fallen to the wayside. Oops?
I’m probably a little over two hours into #pokopia and it’s pretty enjoyable. It’s very chill which I appreciate a lot. I’m excited to really get into building my island? Home? Pokemon utopia?
End of day #fountainpen picks for March! It might only be 29F out right now but I’m ready for bright colors and warmer days.

Late night post as I slowly make my way through "The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life" by Suleika Jaouad

The Book of Alchemy and the 100+ Day Project

February’s #fountainpen and ink line up. I can’t really say it leans into the pinky scheme February often gets, but I’m happy with my choices. I think this is the first time I’ve inked the Parker in like 4 years…
I have a bunch of things (sadly non-stationery related) in the mail right now and refreshing my tracking is about the only thing keeping me going right now.

@BennysLittleThings it sucks because while yes, there are a TON of sub $50 pens out there, especially in the Chinese market, it makes the more popular/ household brands out of reach. But when you have companies like Sailor coughing up LEs like they’re candy after a price hike (which I think Sailor’s was hefty) it feels like a slap.

I’ll stick with my maker pens for the most part and just put fancy grinds on them lol. But even that can be out of reach for many.

Am I consistently behind when it comes to trends? Yes. Do I care? Nope! Took me some time to think about my 2026 stationery goals, which probably didn’t start off great as I immediately indulged in the #fountainpen fomo. # NoRegrets?

Stationery Goals 2026

I’m late to the trend started by RB at Gathering of Curiosities, but sometimes you just need to let things sit. 2025 was a bit of a rough time, and 2026 isn’t looking much better between some inten…
