@Twotired usually what happens is that they start as signals of wealth ("I don't need to dress practically because I don't labor") and then lower-class people imitate it to try to gain more respect and the cycle is complete when literally everyone is wearing it despite it being inconvenient and the rich move on to a new signal

I am always seeing news stories about men getting caught not wearing pants (trousers) on webcam or seeing them openly fantasize about not having to wear pants. I have to conclude y’all find them extremely uncomfortable. May I suggest: skirts? Pants were invented to make it easier to ride horses. Most civilizations that didn’t do a lot of horse riding have traditionally garbed men in skirts. You can in fact just wear a skirt. You can call it a kilt if that helps

@batterpunts I've got well over 50. It's not just a color axis – some inks are "high-shading" (variable like a stroke of watercolor paint), others are a matte uniform color, some sheen different colors at different angles, some have glitter etc. And then there's specialties like iron gall, the traditional-since-ancient-times Extremely Permanent Ink

- Us fountain pen fans are so into collecting inks, it's easy to forget that the average person only stocks a few Iroshizukus and Emerald of Chivor.

- And Diamine Quartz Black, of course.

- Of course.

With original xkcd attached, because assuming everyone's seen it would be very quartz, of course #fountainpen #fountainpens #xkcd

ONE HOUR AGO:
my husband: do you think the Steam servers will survive the Silksong launch?

me: of course, they've handled tons of very big launches for games that are much larger downloads, they'll be able to handle it

ONE MINUTE AGO: my husband starts screaming

#steam #silksong

Y’all there’s thirteen laptops open in this room and aside from mine, only one has stickers. The rest are completely factory default. Are linguists okay??
