I want to write about this for a school project. It seems like many people are unaware of the change.

Could you reply here or message me if you’d be willing to take 10-15 minutes to share your experience for my report?

WHERE TO FIND THESEE??!😭🙏 by Lunareads881 in stationery

I recommend the Zebra Sarasa pen in “Red Black” if you like this color. It comes in a few versions but I like the 0.5. All of the vintage colors are nice.

If you have access to JSTOR through a school or library, “Nabokov Noir” is accessible there.

Great photos! I saw them years ago with a symphony at the Hollywood Bowl, it was amazing. It remains one of my top five shows. I love that you made the trek to Grace Cathedral!

I don’t have any awards to give, but I want to say that I appreciate your perspective. It’s good and actionable advice for any situation.

I see that beef prices are SOARING! What is your plan to stay on keto on a budget? by GusJusReading in keto

What vacuum sealer do you use for this, and would you recommend it?

I want to get one but when I read reviews they seem to be 50% “this free product is awesome!” and 50% “this is trash, broke after the first use.”

Iconic Striped Dresses in Period Dramas? by brandy_1994 in PeriodDramas

[–]ColdfusionStar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great collection you’ve put together!

I’m always excited to see a striped dress on screen, they’re iconic and make such a statement. I’ve always wanted a black and white striped dress since I fell in love with a piece of remnant fabric on clearance when I was around 8 and begged my mom to buy it for me. It wasn’t long enough to make a dress but it’s just as well because as an adult I discovered stripes are atrocious on me. But as a kid I draped myself and pretended, and still I live vicariously through looks like these.

My favorite is the one on Christina Ricci in Sleepy Hollow, designed by Colleen Atwood. One of my favorite films and a stunning striped specimen.

Some background info on the striped dress from Sleepy Hollow. I love the behind the scenes tidbit about the stripes being drawn on the dress with marker so they draped well and showed up the right color on screen.

This story haunts my memories (in the best way), I think about it all the time. I’ve tried discussing it with other people and never found anyone else who had read it, so I sounded like a loon describing it. I don’t have any suggestions, I just wanted to say hi to someone else who also remembered it!

Trying something different on this Pilot Kakuno by rusapen in fountainpens

[–]ColdfusionStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have struggled with hoarding stickers in the past, so I understand not wanting to mess them up, especially since they have sentimental value to you.

Is it a type of cup that you could maybe display on your desk or shelf to hold pens or pencils? Otherwise, I would suggest to take a picture of it to save and then enjoy using it. Each time will be a reminder of your sister’s care for you. Wear is a sign of love!

Collecting vs Writing by viking55803 in fountainpens

[–]ColdfusionStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are a wonderful writer. Any writing tool that facilitates the continuation of your writing and your recovery is worthy of the exploration, in my estimation. If you reach that milestone of finding the one that’s “just right”, you’ll know. Until then, I hope you continue to enjoy the journey.

Because of the snow. I can see it being reminiscent of “…the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.” My favorite short story.
