human rights Nibtober Day 25 #nibtober2024 The dominant thought at the moment is that transgender rights, women's rights, and queer rights are all seperate issues. In reality, they're not. These issues are all about BODILY AUTONOMY! These are all about how you can and cannot use your own body. It'

Soon, though, I'll be in Ireland (Northern Ireland, that is) where there is actual Autumn and cold air. And soon, Christmas Markets! Pen: Yiren 890 Ink: Diamine Oxblood
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 23 #nibtober2024 It takes so little to do your civic duty and vote. It's sad that voter turnout can be so low. 2020 was the largest voter turnout ever at 66%. 2018 midterm only had a 49% turnout, which according to Pew Research was the highest rate for a

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 21 #nibtober2024 Some days you like to feel a little fancy when you write, so that's when I pull out my @benupen. They are definitely one of my favorite pens. I miss having all my pens, since most of my pens are in Ireland, and all my inks. But
nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 20 #nibtober2024 There are a lot of interesting birds in Florida. I keep thinking that one of the birds I see out the window is a crane of some sort, but I know that's wrong. What's funny about this bird is that it's legs are

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 18 #nibtober2024 As much as I hope for a smooth transition between being here and getting to Northern Ireland, I know I'm still going to have travel anxiety. I always arrive early and give myself lots of time to get through TSA and all that. This time I got

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 16 #nibtober2024 Well, the plan is to be heading to Northern Ireland by the end of next week! I am so excited! Although, it won’t feel real until I’m on the way to the airport. Right now leaving feels abstract. I still have some things to do before I

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 14 #nibtober2024 We haven't gone far afield, but at least in our immediate area the damage is signigicant, but not as bad as it could have been. Yesterday was my parent's 45th anniversary! We went (today) to a Carribean restaurant which was super good! Life here is

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 9 #nibtober2024 I like ice cream sundaes with cherries on top. I also like using “cherry on top of the sundae” as a phrase (along with it’s many colorful variations). Trust me, I’ve been using it a lot this week. We decided to stay in Orlando until Saturday morning.

nibtober2024 Nibtober Day 5 #nibtober2024 I like this pen a lot, but sometimes it ends up an inky mess because it's flow is pretty fast. Not quite as bad since I changed the nib, though. Just goes to show that spendy pens aren't necessarily better out of the box. Speaking
