   I went to a fountain pen shop in Brooklyn with my ex and I swear the whole place was full of lesbians buying fountain pens and journals

   There were so many of them I felt overwhelmed and had to leave before I could buy more fountain pens

   Gayest / most Brooklyn thing ever (this is also different from the other super crowded ‘line around the block’ fountain pen and journal shop, that I went to last weekend)

     Young queer people are not drinking, they’re spending all their money on fountain pens and inks

     @skinnylatte This tracks. I went to a place in Brooklyn last weekend where you can smell niche perfumes and it was SO busy and just packed with queer folks. I’m so envious of the sheer amount of options available to folks who live there!

     I never imagined I would stop drinking alcohol. But it’s been almost five years and I do not miss it.

     I’m glad to see a larger social conversation about alcohol. As a geriatric millennial I feel like I imbibed (hah) many unhealthy practices around alcohol from the older generation.

     I still miss the social spaces that alcohol-first places provide, but at this point if you’re not providing overpriced NA options to ex drinkers in your bar, you’re simply just going to go out of business.
