@otomeniki.bsky.social's essay pairs nicely with @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social's Superjump debut, you should read both and then everything else on this list.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

It's time for #inkvent2025 ! Like last year, I'll post each ink from the Diamine Inkvent Calendar here on its following day, so anyone opening their own calendar won't get spoiled. This year, I'll try doodling with each ink to really show off their properties!
