Basically, this is the same for me as well. I like Lemmy but there’s just not enough content yet and that’s OK but until then I’m gonna naturally gravitate to other social media until more staff is able to transition over. Half of the post seems to be reddit reposts.
I was raised in an atheist/agnostic household. nobody ever came out and said we were atheist or agnostic, but no one went to religious services Weekly or on holidays. There was never talk of prayer or worship or god.
Both my parents came from different religious backgrounds. One parent is Jewish. The other is Christian, though I would argue that their parents were atheist/agnostic as well.
We celebrated the holidays that involved presents so Christmas, Hanukkah and Easter. I didn’t really learn any of their religious symbolism behind these holidays until I was much older and it wasn’t through my parents. Part of it was cultural, osmosis, and part of it was curiosity about these religions when I figured out what they were.
We lived in a pretty big Jewish community or so it wasn’t uncommon to get invited over for Passover dinner at someone’s house.
I went to Synagogue with Jewish friends and church with Christian friends. My friend’s mother holiday taught classes at their synagogue so I do remember going and learning about Judaism and the holidays there but I didn’t last very long. I didn’t really enjoy it, I must remember not wanting to go back in after our little recess/break and watching fiddler on the roof.
When I was curious about Christianity and wanted to know why my friends went to Sunday school or church on the weekends, my mother took me to a Unitarian church. We didn’t attend for very long and I don’t remember being particularly interested or involved in any of the activities they were doing for the kids.
Now I would say, I am firmly an atheist.
I have pretty terrible handwriting so I feel like mine is pretty easy to not be able to read in the first place so something so loose doesn’t really work for me. I think if I had a nice Penmanship or with artistic, it would just flow a lot better, but I need something quite firm and stable.
For me one looks like it would be very nice, but it’s just too loose when it comes to writing and the ink smudge is really easily from what I remember. My dad had them all around the house because they look very business like but I don’t really remember enjoying writing with them.
I think I’m more of a bic fan if it comes to pens or pencils But pilots are always been fairly standard. I guess it’s gone downhill which is too bad.
1 and 2 look good but looks are deceiving. 5 and 7 all the way.
Five. Tired but true.
OK, so clearly you’re seeing into my mind with the Monstera plant. That’s not fair and please help me save it.
I love Ralph
