  • There is such a thing as glass dip pens (I had one and was too rough with it, so it broke :') ), but I like using fountain pens that suck up ink via a spring or piston filled mechanism. I only fool around with fountain pens because I like playing with fun ink and being a weirdo. This is my TWSBI Eco (Fine nib) inked with Noodler’s Cardinal Kestral.

    Some would argue that there is a proper grip to hold fountain pens, but I found that the normal way I write is good enough. I always enjoyed writing in cursive, and I take a lot of notes (prayer journaling, getting my college degree, writing out my thoughts, etc.), so fountain pens indulge those activities.

    If you like going down rabbit holes, here’s a blog post to learn more: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Beginner-s-Guide-to-Fountain-Pens/pt/927. #twsbieco #fountainpens (idk may this reach the fountain pen people elsewhere in the Fediverse so they can add more)




  • One thing I noticed is that Beehaw doesn’t have hashtags. I’m on Pixelfed, but the photos that appear in my feed are based on hashtags I’ve chosen to follow that also have a photo. So I’m unsure how this post will get picked up on Pixelfed without any tags (I didn’t test that I could add #nails to the post and it’d work). But hey! You found me and that’s cool enough. Also thanks, glitter is great :D
