This #music is 22 years old, but I've been thinking about it a lot more and more since 2016: "The World Is" by Unforscene:

Aloha to our new friends on Mastodon! Thanks to some of you for following me, but note that you are unlikely to get follow-backs until you start posting. Once people can see what you're all about they'll be more likely to follow you. And if you haven't done so already, be sure to follow these folks:

It's always nice to see a rise in any country's minimum wage. In this case it's worth noting that ¥1,121 equates to about $7.60 USD. If that seems ridiculously low, note that minimum wage in the US is even less: just $7.25 US per hour. And if you work at a job that is tipped, the minimum wage is an insulting $2.13 US per hour. Just this alone seems proof that we are living in an oligarchy.

Just filled three pens and have to get this out of my system:

#FountainPen ink can stain just about everything, so selling it in the right packaging is important. Sadly though, ink manufacturers use their packaging as a way to stand out in the crowd, which leads to some interesting but user-unfriendly bottles. Two examples: the dangerous rolling of Endless Alchemy ink bottles, and the squat Herbin ink bottles that are too short to easily fill a converter.

Thanks... rant over.
