OMG, I just placed an order for a Kasama Una Takipsilim pen! At first I hesitated when I got the IG message because I’ve been greedily guarding my budget for the SF pen show, but if there’s anything worth splurging on, it’s a beautiful, hard-to-get, well-made pen from a small maker. Icing on top that the brand is from the Philippines, as my heritage is.

My only experience with #Pilot nibs is through my Capless Fermo, Elite, E95s or Falcon. Oh, I also bought a stub nib unit for a Vanishing Point which I’ve used in Majohn A1s. I’m interested in the SU, the FA, and the PO from @penaddict ‘s article. I wish I could buy the #nibs separately! #FountainPens

Hello, All! We're back on schedule with day 27 of #30Inks30Days. W00t! I cannot believe there are only 3 days left in the series. 🤯

Yay, a #Diamine #Inkvent color I finally like unconditionally! 😆 (I like Early Dusk, also, but this one is slightly higher in the tier list) Day 8 is up on my #blog:

I don't really need to build a collection of TWSBI ECOs, but considering my recent thing about getting brown pens, brown inks, and coffee-related pens and inks, this one may be a purchase. 😅

Hello! Hubby just posted his STL files for #Inkvent stand I posted about a little bit ago (https://www.cheryllindojones.com/personal/3d-printed-inkvent-tree-version-20).

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/inkvent-tree-2023-l8apex01

It’s set at $5 for the download, which is pretty modest for all the work he did designing it. Check it out! #FountainPen #inks #Diamine

Nooooooo (although I didn’t realize this still existed and haven’t chewed “candy” gum like this in forever)

I will keep asking this until I get a satisfactory answer: Why do shows or movies about apocalypses or monster attacks, etc. have dysfunctional family plots woven in? I don’t get it.

OMG, Y’all!! #AnimalCrossing never seems to get featured in #toys like this. This #LEGO teaser looks so great! 🤩

I don’t know why I signed up for the restock notification for this awesome-looking nib, as I have no space in the budget for it now. 😭

If anyone else gets one of these, I’d love to hear how you like it.

You know, I don’t think I’ll ever need to make such a huge volume of ink samples in such a short time that I’d need the pipettor tool mentioned in this article, but dang if I still want it anyway. #gadgetty #ThePenAddict #ink #FountainPens

I apparently had a lot to say about my changing opinions and preferences for #FountainPens and #ink.

#blog

Let me know what has changed for you with fountain pens and inks. 🙂 Have you flipped 180 on an early opinion you had, or have you stayed consistent with your preferences? Are there things other people like that you just can't relate to?

Also, if you have a dusky ink you like, I welcome your suggestions!

🤦‍♀️

A) The pandemic is NOT over
B) You cannot put remote work back into the proverbial toothpaste tube, or genie bottle, or what have you. Get over it.

Stop investing in traditional office space and invest in people instead. #WFH #work #StopWhiningBillionaires https://mastodon.social/

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)
