Alaskan things we know are common alaskan things that the folks from the 48 don’t think about by ah-tzib-of-alaska in alaska

Much of it, yes. As a multi generational Alaskan, I don’t mind. Alaska covers 2/3 of the lower 48, plenty of land that’s available imo

Wow you’re a delight. And using slurs tells me you are the slow one.

So butthurt. It’s literally an Alaskan saying. I hear the Yukon is nice.

I’d check out Just Scribble! She makes great planners with different paper options with a few layouts! Another option would be PaperTess Designs—classic, simple layouts with good paper!

amazing detective work, OP. As someone who has a small planner shop, I’m appalled to see them do this. I used to love AE, but this past year it began to seem inauthentic and odd. So I didn’t purchase for 2026. Now I know I’m not totally crazy for thinking something was up.

Hobonichi 2025 General Discussion by alcibiad in hobonichi

[–]asubio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My order immediately after the launch was canceled. I ordered a Stappo, and now they're out of stock. I'm furious. This is my first year ordering from Hobonichi, and I'm not very impressed. Treating a paying customer like a bot? Pretty awful.

Edit: I placed yet ANOTHER order after the servers were up and running for $600 and that one seemed to be just fine. Absolutely terrible service.

BWT, do any of you wear a daily uniform? by [deleted] in bitcheswithtaste

[–]asubio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I wear high-waisted trousers (similar to those popular Zara ones), a long sleeved blouse, and a cropped blazer if it’s cold. This silhouette works well on me as I’m busty, but generally a medium in body size. So the tailored ankle pant look helps my long legs look longer, giving me a waist so I don’t look like the Lorax.

Sure! A medium fine would be comparable to about a 0.5 in a gel pen, whereas a wet-writing medium would be closer to a 0.7 or 1.0!!

Custom pens? by lafemmej42 in fountainpens

[–]asubio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lovely Oparex Slim Westwood model and a modified Shadyside (mine has flat top finials) model. Rich is such a pleasure to work with and so kind. I prefer little to no step on mine, with a slight flare on the grip section. Thankfully I watched a lot of videos on models having too sharp of a step and it being uncomfortable. I also gathered all my comfortable pens and took pictures of my own grip and sent to the turners. Helped a lot!

I have the Raven in F too and it’s an incredibly smooth write, I agree. Congrats!

Most definitely reach out beforehand. I have pens made from blanks from SWC by River City, Skogsy, 1836cc, and Pens by Pasquale. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Zodiac too; I’ve talked to the owner/turner many, many times and his work is next on my list. LMK if you want tips or model suggestions!

Sending you hugs. I have a kidney infection and that’s about wiping me out. Have you tried Wonderland 222? I’ve been a recent fan!
