Link Love: The Most Friendly Niche on the Internet
Jesi sent me a link to this video above because I get dizzy on TikTok. For your convenience, I am including the YouTube link if you too are not TikTok savvy either. The point of this video is that when the pen community has controversy, we end up being pretty nice about it. It just…
