developed over years of being a big notetaker. it’s hard to pick between the three but bic cristal bold might be my favorite. it is unexpectedly a really good pen

i grew up loving the pilot g2 pens but within the past year have been using the sharpie s-gel pens. i’ve tried a few other brands as well. what’s your favorite pen?

I've tried some nicer pens and fell out out of - I'd like to try them again sometime. but out of everything I am picking up those little bic pens 99% of the time. part of it is for sure that they are everywhere when I'm at work, but they're even creeping into my work at home.
It's mostly the sensitivity - it's devine. a lot of (especially cheaper) pens go from 0 to 100% ink and even leak randomly. but bic has mastered handling really intricate pressure. it's hard to find that in even artist tools...
I want to look for a go-to pen ever since my last microns fizzled out though.

easy to hold, cute, and writes well (of course). i usually use the pilot hi tec c but this has been a pleasant change.

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
