It's kind of cool that @adamlambert released his cover of "Getting Older" on my birthday. 🎂

I somehow hadn't listened to Jann Arden past her 90s stuff that I love, and this new release is so good! youtu.be/neGpR0YEbPk

My condolences to Candy's family. I'm really going to miss her wisdom and humor.

Twitter tells me that I've been here 15 years now. Do you remember why you started your account? Mine is all due to LiveJournal friends who were making accounts. #MyTwitterAnniversary

I'm so excited about this presentation on Wednesday. The intersection of Indigenous storytelling and science is a topic that always grabs my attention.

During the last round of #30inks30days, I felt like it was hard to share the interesting color and undertones of Monteverde Elephant. I think the paper towel I used as I was cleaning my fountain pens helps to show it off a bit more. Look at that pretty t… instagr.am/p/CUibb2yv06u/

I'm ending #30inks30days with Papier Plume Desire. This rich red-purple is the kind of color that grabs my attention and makes me wonder if it's different enough from my other inks in that pink-red-purple range to justify a purchase. 🤣 #fountainpeni… instagr.am/p/CUdgvbVPyyH/

Vinta Bodabil is a deep purple ink with a gorgeous green sheen. The green and purple combination always makes me think of jester hats. The ink name is one I often mispronounce as Bombadil, but there's no Tolkien connection here. Bodabil is actually vau… instagr.am/p/CUbeM7vD_ol/

Each time I participate in #30inks30days, I try to focus on my ink samples and then treat myself to a bottle or two of my favorites. Robert Oster Caffe Crema was one of the past winners, and I still love writing with this ink. It's a warm yellowish brown… instagr.am/p/CUYsjCVjaS2/

Robert Oster Citrus is a lime green with some shading. #30inks30days #fountainpenink #fountainpeninkaddict instagr.am/p/CURO5XSDgKc/

Monteverde Giraffe is a reddish-orange ink that sometimes looks more brown. I don't use a lot of orange ink, but I like this one because of the subtle shading and color variation. #30inks30days #fountainpenink #fountainpeninkaddict #inkswatches instagr.am/p/CUKubaWAxQf/

My fondness for coffee-related inks brings us to 3 Oysters Americano on day 21 of #30inks30days. I love this dark cool brown that has a bit of a purple undertone to it. #fountainpenink #fountainpeninkaddict #inkswatches #3oysters instagr.am/p/CUFiFnYAAYM/

Van Dieman's Blackberry Jam is a beautiful choice for the 20th day of this round of #30inks30days. The color is perfectly named and reminds me of making jam and canning with my grandparents. It's a gorgeous dark purple that looks almost black at times an… instagr.am/p/CUDZ0oEvTiw/

My 17th ink is KWZ Grapefruit, and it's the brightest of the bunch this week. #30inks30days instagr.am/p/CT8dfDlDroy/

3 Oysters Caramel Macchiato is a warm light brown. This ink highlights my weakness for inks with coffee-related names. I love writing on ivory paper with golden brown ink. "What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?"… instagr.am/p/CT5L69BPvFt/

I'm enjoying the ink with the great name - Diamine Brandy Dazzle - on day 11 of #30inks30days. The gold shimmer and warm brown ink make a great combination for autumn. #diamineink #diamineshimmertastic #fountainpenink #fountainpeninkaddict #inkswatches … instagr.am/p/CTryDDMgxnS/
