I got a car! thank you so much everyone! the car has already allowed me to get better medical care! and I found out something amazing: just being somewhere else makes me so much healthier than I thought possible!
I will be going back and forth between epic and safe locations and the place that makes me sicker™ until I can figure out how to get medical treatments covered elsewhere. this might take a while. I am going to do my best to get stronger, because I have decided I want to die of old age! thank you for being a part of my life!
if you want to help support my never-ending quest in financial independence from an abusive situation that is seriously jeopardizing my health, you can still toss some spare coins to my ko-fi!
all of my checkmarks were gifts. I am very ill. they are like flowers to me.
why did you change your pinned post?
there are a lot of people asking me for advice for their medical emergencies. I appreciate that you think so highly of me and I am not mad at anyone for being scared. but I am not a doctor, I am not an EMT, I am not a medical helpline, I am not trained to handle this much grief, I am a terminally ill person who tells jokes online.
hey I have a new and sudden heart thing/chest pain/fluttery feeling/heart weirdness going on. what should I do?
heart disease is the most common cause of death in the world. the only way to know if your life is in immediate danger is by being checked out using specialized hospital equipment. minutes can be the difference between life or death. go to the emergency room.
should I ask for your opinion on whether or not I should go to the emergency room?
no. just go to the emergency room. you will get a free bracelet
I have an urgent medical question! should I ask you about it?
no. I am not a doctor. see if there are any nurse hotlines or insurance advice hotlines near you that may be able to give you advice.
you are cool and funny and I am financially stable and will not hurt from sending you some cash, where can I send some hot dollars?
fuck yeah I love money as high fived to me by people who will not hurt as a result. here is my ko-fi
I also have a health amazon wishlist and a non-health amazon wishlist! these go to me and are addressed to john as in, john doe.

tumblr REFUSED to let me post this until I got onto my laptop. WHY
I made it to mickey’s dick smasher in one piece. hopefully will not be here for too long.
there is a new bathroom fan. it took half a decade of begging to get a new bathroom fan. it does not work as well as I had hoped, but it will help there be less mold and more ventilation.
the washer and dryer have not been replaced because some plumbing work needs to be done first. the plumbing work does not involve fixing the leaking shower that causes a lot of the mold growth for some reason, so I will need to clean up mold every time I come back here after at least a few days.
the closer the car got to the dick smasher, the worse I felt. I wound up hanging out in a parking lot until I could be sure I could unload my stuff without any of my family seeing me because of the panic attacks (read back I guess the past week or so for more on that)
my roommates had to help me pack because I was struggling so much. my body was trying really hard to reject coming back.
the panic attacks about being here stopped happening as much once I actually got here, but I am struggling to look my family in the eyes. trying to be away from them as much as I can so I do not wind up blowing everything now that things are finally getting fixed.
but ever since their screaming made my throat close up a few weeks ago, everything feels different, and it is an active battle to try to keep my body from reminding me how dangerous it is to be here compared to baltimore.
I will keep doing my best.
she was using a pilot precise v7 pen last night by the way. in case you were wondering
speaking of companies not issuing statements when they should, has caniplaythat (or ablegamers or any other ‘big’ group implicated in getting tricked) said anything at all about the IGN investigation other than acknowledging it in stories that might get taken down? it seems pretty important for there to be some kind of response considering how much heartache has been involved all around
serious question has anyone high up with caniplaythat (or any other involved group) issued any 'official’ statement other than saying how heartbroken they are that they got fooled into mourning multiple fake people? which is really really bad to be clear but it has been weeks at this point

ooooooooooooooo stationery drama is happening oooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo hoooo
basically:
one of the most beloved papers in the world, tomoe river, has gone through a few different recipes/versions recently. this paper is one of the best papers to use for a planner/journal (in many cases, these are the same thing, but a planner usually has a few extra features/pages than a journal), because it is tissue thin and still has some of the best and most colorful ink performance in the world. tomoe river is even popular for watercolor. and then the machines for making that paper stopped being produced, and it got bought out by another company named sanzen.
sanzen tomoe river paper began being utilized in planners like hobonichi, one of the most famous planners on the planet. and in my opinion, the sanzen tomoe river is better than the original tomoe river recipe.
except this year it turns out, a HUGE bad batch of sanzen tomoe river apparently made it through their quality control and is popping up in books for 2025. at the beginning of the month, hobonichi planners went on sale, and people quickly realized that the “fountain pen friendly” hobonichi was being shipped with sanzen tomoe river paper that does NOT take fountain pen ink well. the ink feathers out and bleeds through the page, and this should NOT be happening. worst of all, it only happens in some of these very expensive planners, and there is no way to know without first buying one and then testing it.
in addition to this, the hobonichi servers crashed during the ordering process, and a lot of people had their carts cancelled. and a few days after the messy launch, hobonichi then hiked the price of their products, claiming it was an error to ever sell them so cheap.
but here is the thing. the type of planner that seems to be most affected by the bad batch of paper is the 5 year planner, which is a planner/journal meant to last someone 5 years, and is one of the most expensive planners hobonichi sells. fucking yikes
worst yet is a solid chunk, if not most people, will not even write in their planners until january 1st, 2025 since a ton of people just use them as journals. so they will not know whether or not they got one with bad paper until they start their entry for the first day of the year, which is supposed to be magical.
this problem apparently also affects other planners using the current batch of sanzen tomoe river paper, like the midori hibino.
if you bought hobonichi for 2025, any kind of hobonichi, or any kind of planner that uses tomoe river paper, CHECK YOUR PAPER NOW
dedicate one page to testing the inks you want to use in your notebook just to make sure that you are not disappointed when you go to make your epic entries.
this is incredibly disappointing from everyone involved here. sanzen should have never let this get through their quality control, and neither should have midori or hobonichi.
to my knowledge nobody has made an announcement yet saying they are going to accept returns from the bad batch of paper, and I am not even sure anyone has officially acknowledged that there has been a bad batch of paper, but reach out to whoever you purchased your planners/journals from if you wind up with bad paper. the vast majority of fountain pen inks should not bleed or feather on tomoe river sanzen paper. if you have tomoe river paper from a 2024 planner/journal, use that as reference for how the paper should perform.
just embarrassing all around. sanzen is pretty new to manufacturing tomoe river, and they have already fucked up BAD
the fountain pen ink performance on sanzen tomoe river, at least in terms of feathering and bleeding, should be pretty similar or better than previous versions of tomoe river. the amount of shade and sheen may be different, though.
some types of fountain pen inks that are more likely to bleed or feather on good batches of tomoe river:
- thick and wet pigment inks like de atramentis document
- certain shimmer inks
- very wet inks or inks that have a wetting agent added, like white lightning additive
- scented inks
- certain other types of ‘special’ or 'luxury’ inks
- inks that have been left in pens for so long that a lot of water has evaporated out, and now the ink is highly condensed (basically if you write with a fountain pen for the first time in a while and it feathers, do not freak out, consider cleaning out the pen and refilling it or adding more distilled water.)
however, you should NOT see ink bleeding or feathering from basic fountain pen inks from common brands, and I would argue most fountain pen inks on the market should not give you any trouble.
for a little more background on why this is a big deal:
hobonichi is a company run by the creator of the mother/earthbound series. hobonichi as a company has a reputation of having some of the highest quality products around in the stationery space, and they make a big deal about every part of their products, down to some extremely fine details. there are announcements, countdowns, and international events dedicated to hobonichi products.
from what I understand some schools even mandate hobonichi planners specifically.
when hobonichi has changes in its paper, they make announcements, they do detailed comparisons, and they send out test paper.
these are supposed to be durable and reliable products, and the prices reflect that.
so for hobonichi to have such an enormous problem with their paper, and to have said nothing about it WEEKS into launch, is a big big big deal. considering these products ship all around the world, shipping fees get pretty high. and for a lot of stationery companies, hobonichi product launches are some of their highest traffic days of the year. this impacts not only hobonichi, but every single company that stocks their planners.
one of the main features of hobonichi planners is that they take fountain pen inks well with ultra thin paper. for people like me who primarily write with fountain pens due to disability, getting a bad batch that cannot handle fountain pen inks would be a complete dealbreaker. to be clear, right now it seems like most people are getting good batches of paper. but I am getting pretty nervous about my own order.
