I always have a few pens in my bag or packet. Typically 2 uni-ball visions (black and blue), 1 Le Pen (in a fun color), 1 Zebra Sarasa for things that require a really fine line. But the Uni-ball really is the standard for me. They’re not expensive, they’re smooth, just heavy enough without excessive bleeding and they last forever.

Big yes. Le Pen is that b**ch that makes me write the neatest I have ever written, and they're cute, too. Have loved them ever since I could steal my brother's pens.

Uni-Ball currently has some of my favorite pens, and the colors are so good.

For like a normal guy pen that comes in a 3-pack. Writes great. Nice ink. I like Kaweco ballpoints for a fancy but cheapish option, though honestly they don't write that nice.

No screen Sundays. If I want to listen to music its CDs or radio. If I want to watch a movie, no I don’t. If I want to see a friend, I will make plans with them on Friday or Saturday to meet up. As a result, I read more, write more, and sit with questions like “did Citizen Kane‘s 50 year winning streak in the Sight and Sound critics choice survey end in 2012 or 2022? When did Stephen Merritt come out? Whats the etymology of Whitsun?“ This is something that I have practiced off and on for many years but I’ve been doing it every week since December and I love the way that it just allows me one day of true freedom and rest.

My calendar this year has 52 of these week at a glance pages but I don’t think that way. So, I've been inspired by Ross Gay’s Book of Delighs to start recording the little moments and sensations that bring me joy throughout the day. An analog pi.fyi, if you will. heres some of what I have so far: - Waking up to the sound of my upstairs neighbor‘s footstep. It sounded nostalgic. Felt like company. - Strawberry jam - feeling tender for strangers: their lips, nail colors, their small wrists. Thinking of all the lives we hold gently. - A young girl bought an LP at the bookstore just before I left. She stroked its cover with love - Green tiles —the mint shade always makes me think of Jancie - Charlie’s little bop and punch dancing to some German language punk - lunch with Katherine, curry Brussels sprouts - small talk at the photo studio. The photographer's brother was named after their dad, stole his identity, bought jet skis.
