#gaysoftwitter by Pens (me)
Words: 900 Summary: Guys why is Ilya Rozanov in the #gaysoftwitter tag giving advice about bottoming?? or: a deeply unserious socmed soft launch thing set in an AU where they get to come out on their own terms.
Read on A03
Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally
Source (non Aboriginal)
And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history
Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)
This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.
My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.
The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.
as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.
thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been despairing as it is so hard now to find references and photos of succulents and other things for my designs!! T_T
Every day I get closer to starting my webcomic series. I just need my executive dysfunction to go away so I can lose myself in my space dramedy.

"Yes. Many people died in this house," Al-Haitham confirms. "Some of them are even buried on the land." And then, almost like an afterthought, he answers, "It is my house."
happy pride month to this iconic scene
happy pride don’t forget to set billionaires’ houses on fire and steal their drugs
Ilya Rozanov in this baby daddy era secretly giving his crying 6 month old tiny sips of vodka to help put her to sleep. Secretly because Shane does not understand how to put babies to sleep like a good Russian and told him not to give their infant child alcohol.
happy pride Ronan Lynch, gay disaster dream boy of all time
Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
"omg you remembered!" of course i did. I have a file on you
Any fancy fountain pen peeps here? What are your favorite pretty ink brands? I need like all the glorious purples and greens and shimmery stuff, give it to meeeeeeeeee!
HELLOOOOO yes i am fountain pen people!! And I am happy to talk your ear off about fountain pens and inks :D
For shimmer inks, Diamine is really well known for well-behaved shimmers. I have a bunch of theirs, they’re always rarely clog and are generally well priced and a great all-around option.
I am also really enjoying Wearingeul Inks! They have a lot of pretty shimmers (with great names XD) I’ve used their “The Great Sage Heaven’s Equal” for a while now with no problems.
Robert Oster is another brand with, in my experience, good shimmers.
Sailor doesn’t have a lot of shimmers, but they have a lot of gorgeous, very well-behaved inks. Their dual-shading inks are definitely worth checking out. (I am at the moment kinda preferring dual shading to shimmer, partially because they’re easier to clean out of pens and less likely to clog.)
Troublemaker Inks can be hard to find but they have some GORGEOUS inks, both intense colors and cool dual-shading. They make my favorite muddy green - Hanging Rice.
If you want to check out in-depth ink reviews, Mountain of Ink is hard to beat. A lot of people do ink reviews but I appreciate MoI’s consistent review format and the sheer number of reviews she’s done. That said, you will definitely end up with a terrifyingly long shopping list, which brings me to my next point…
Vanness Pens has the best selection of inks in the US. They’re my go-to for inks! It’s pretty much always worth it to buy a sample before committing to a whole bottle.
Vanness Pen Shop Supplying writing instruments, fountain pen inks, stationery, education, custom engraving, and unique gifts since 1938. Thi
Also good: JetPens, Yoseka Stationery, Enigma Stationery. (Avoid Goulet Pens, they turned out to be super fundamentalist Christian and one of the pastors of the church the owners helped found compared LGBTQ people to murderers.)
(Also avoid Noodler’s inks, the owner is racist, antisemitic, anti-vaxx, and his inks sometimes damage pens.)
Inks I Have Issues With (Aside from the Aforementioned Noodler’s):
De Atramentis copper shimmers: so pretty. Sooooo prone to clogging 🫠 they’re utterly gorgeous but they’re also the only inks I have used which instantly clogged my TWSBI pens. They’re very pretty in dip pens but don’t waste your money on them for fountain pens, imo.
Ferris Wheel Press has gorgeous packaging but they’re also kinda notorious for being dry inks. A lot of people feel they’re more about the packaging than the actual product (influencer brand ugh.) Also they’ve used AI, their pens are repackaged Fuliwen pens that they charge too much for, and they are doing a Harry Potter collab -_-
And now if you’ll excuse me I opened up Vanness to get the link and now I need to go peruse the fall collection of Midori stationery - my greatest weakness XD
I would like to add to this fantastic reblog!
absolutely get yourself the little test vials of ink which are extremely useful for testing out colours without spending huge amounts of money - and also get different papers! Different inks behave differently on Rhodia / Clairefountain / Leuchtturm / Midori / Tomoe River. I like getting small notepads for inks testing and shopping lists. Avoid Moleskin, they suck.
get yourself a cartridge converter and this syringe-like instrument for easy loading and cleaning:
my current favourite inks are J.Herbin Turquoise de Perse, Diamine Racing Green, Barock 1920 Sepia and KWZ Sheen Machine
(Also I didn't know that about Ferris Wheel press, what a bummer!)
Also I'm going to lovingly tag @owlspinningyarns for more insights!

Please go to my friend Tina’s kickstarter. They have one more day on their fundraising drive. It’s a lovely hand-drawn short, so please give what you can.
