just refilled my Pilot Metro with a 50% dilution of Noodler's xFeather (bought before I knew the brand's reputation). Hopefully this is nicer to work with. Undiluted it takes FOREVER to dry. #fountainPen

Question for the #FountainPen hive mind. I love the Diplomat Magnum. I love how bouncy the nib is. I love how lightweight it is. I love the snap cap function, tactility, and sound. My only complaint is the diameter. I find pretty much all number 5 nib pens to be too narrow for me and give me hand cramps. Is there a pen that is basically the Diplomat Magnum but widened enough to be a #6 nib? (Yes the extra 1 or 2 mm do matter)

What a weekend. Lots of walking around trying to get a shiny Bewear in #pokemonGo (no shiny bewear was gotten :( ) and some juicy juicy drama over in /r/fountainpens.

Please tell me other people care about light pollution, that it isn't just me? With the aurorae this week, i've lamented several times in person about how bad my city's light pollution is. you can't see the milky way. you can barely see any stars. Nobody cares. It's either "eCoNoMy" or "jUsT MoVe FuRtHeR aWay". Apparently I'm the only one that thinks you can have economic productivity while protecting nature and no one sees lit skies as a form of pollution that harms all of us :'(

Home from the #pelikanhub . What a wonderful weekend! Chicago was amazing! Atlas was amazing! Chicago Pelikan hub was amazing! My cats being mad at me for leaving them, not so amazing. They'll get over it though. They know how important my #FountainPens are.

Just got back to my hotel room from the Chicago #PelikanHub. I had so much fun! Definitely will go to one next year! #FountainPen

Rip to my one and only titanium nib :( #FountainPen

I've started using the con b squeeze concrete in my pilot metro. I'm not sure if I'm really losing much ink volume with it over reusing cartridges; I've seen a range of values from different websites. Anywho, not being able to see through the ink sac is very much helping me to stop worrying about ink levels and just write. Not that I ever have worried per se, but I love seeing ink slush around. #FountainPen

welp, the peanuts x esterbrook pens are an ugly bust so my no-buy can continue unhindered. Though that sailor tea-time is annoyingly tempting. #FountainPens

Me: ya, I'm tired. I spent the day doing yard work. Literally everyone: wanna come do my yard work No. No I don't. Fuck off. I don't enjoy yard work. I'm definitely not doing yours. Why is this such a common response from people?
