I quite enjoy how Valente wraps self evident things in engaging prose. It sucks me in, just how she writes about things.<br/><br/>&#34;If you make a person feel small, and stupid, and embarrassingly unlovable, if you make them feel like they&#39;re not worth seeing, if you do it on purpose, if you do it with intent, that person will, sooner or later, rip your and/or your whole societies face off and eat it with ice cream.&#34; 2025-08-23T00:33:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr668lr2x7v8xrwptpmgdfwhe40ses6c3g5zfz8z55q2h0vqre4ngzypqkwzmpqjh2p50hsqqsdm84y4xhf2g04skvn2w39hwpmcj03yqrxlxkqwt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy4gv424edplk89mlu66uxrd5me0afwp4lnnewj2hpnm6r4k8lngc67wc5w'>nevent1q…wc5w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m now a solid third of the way through the book.

But... A lot of hobbies are? Take for instance hiking. Hiking can be done cheaply, with second hand gear. But a lot of the dream expeditions, take a lot of time and planning (transport, organizing, paying for training, etc)... But more than that, money.<br/><br/>So why did people feel the need to hate on the guy who bought expensive fountain pens? If I had the money I totally would too (well not quite. I&#39;d probably spend it on shoes first (looking at you trickers). Is it because collecting pretty things is somehow less worthy a way of spending money?<br/><br/>And it&#39;s pretty fucking hilarious. When even a basic Lamy safari is 40x the cost of a Bic pen, does the same job... And even though you can refill the ink... Over a lifetime of use, you are never going to save money compared to the Bic.<br/><br/>And let&#39;s be honest. Who here has ever stopped at a Lamy Safari? 2025-02-01T00:43:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz9juflg7wjshhugkhjlm3l5ndywdmruvrfrqrunvfqmkd8ey73lczypqkwzmpqjh2p50hsqqsdm84y4xhf2g04skvn2w39hwpmcj03yqrxelulk7 #fountainpens I went to a local arts and crafts fair and saw this fountain pen display.
