I almost forgot about #InkSwatchWednesday again. This time I'm highlighting Sailor Yurameku Date Gokoro because I recently inked a pen with it and had a breakthrough.
I am a recovered #FountainPen addict. I only use them for #poetry. Took a long time to pay off. I will never to sell them no matter how broke I am.

#Vampire Hooker (1978) von Cirio H. Santiago ist so schlecht wie der Titel es schon vermuten lässt. Hin und her laufender, alberner Softcore-#Trash mit einer eizigen redeeming Quality: John Carradine als Richmond Reed, der Literatur zitierende alte #Vampir in den Philippinen.
Today in Labor History November 21, 1910: Sailors on board Brazil's warships mutinied in what is now known as the Revolta da Chibata (Revolt of the Lash). The sailors, who were mostly Afro-Brazilian, were protesting the use of whips by white naval officers when punishing them. Nearly half of the 4,000 sailors on these ships participated in the mutiny. Several officers who attempted to resist were killed. The rebels sent a telegraph to the president, reading "We do not want the return of the chibata [lash]. They threatened to destroy the city if the President of the republic and the Minister of the Navy didn’t cede to their demands. And they fired on army forts around Guanabara Bay, and at the naval arsenal and bases on Ilha das Cobras and Villegagnon Island, as well as the presidential palace. Ultimately, the Brazilian government granted an amnesty for the mutineers and the conflict ended without further violence. However, as soon as the mutineers came ashore, the government disarmed the ships, to prevent any further mutinies, and most of the men were discharged from the navy.
3 week update on my first Sailor pen: I now have a feeling for the pen and avoid certain papers. I actually like to write with it a lot and will sometimes actively choose it over my Pilot custom. Never deemed that possible a few weeks ago. The only thing still bothering me: the f nib is definitely too fine for my taste. I'd probably prefer a B nib in a Sailor. #FountainPen#sailor
I don't recommend any pens that are cartridge/convertor only. I only recommend piston fillers, aside from the Preppy, which can be used as an eyedropper pen.
