Pride month never started for me. I managed to almost completely avoid it which I all very happy about.


I've gotten to a point within 14 (emphasis on the last 5) days that I can easily do 50 at once and I could probably do more.

That's a huge improvement for me as I really hadn't been working out at all before.

Small steps.


There are a couple communities here that are not Bitcoin oriented. I'm working on developing the fountain pen community I know the homesteading community is pretty robust and there are a bunch of photographers and artists.


This is true the problem is it is ONLY true of Bitcoin.  Nostr can't become what it needs to become only fed by Bitcoin content.

The real value to this pen is the fact that the price is pretty low and the converter is included which is usually not the case for a "starter pen."

Fair point!


We had shit neighbors when we lived in London. They literally built a Trump wall of garbage down the centre of our shared laneway because they didn't want us pulling out of our spot onto their side around another vehicle on our side to get into the road. They made it this huge thing. Some basement dwelling druggie even yelled at me over the whole thing.

They rented by the way.

Fucking retards.


One of the reasons why living rural is superior. Shit neighbors (if they exist at all) are a much further away problem.

At least noise isn't much of an issue.

If you're a content creator on nostr publish your content ON nostr and drive traffic TO nostr instead of away.

If you can upload your content for your X and YT followers elsewhere then you can also upload content to nostr for your nostr followers. Me, I wont consume or zap your content if you drive traffic away. It's not how this works and v4v goes both ways. For everything else, you're already monetarising with ads elsewhere.


I figure I'll stick to nostr for all of my good stuff. I might use some dumbed down stuff to try to drive people to nostr but not the other way around.

I have a job that pays well so anything made on nostr is first, Bitcoin and second, a bonus.


So many people ( yes so many ) are having strange health issues since having the life saving mRNA scam jabs. It’s ridiculous yet not. I tried to tell people. Don’t put shit in your body without critical thinking. ‘Derrrrrr you’re not a scientist’ …guess i am now as they’re all saying maybe you were right.


Thing is, I can't argue too much. I'm not here to tell people what not to use, just what I prefer going forward.

All of my early work (High School to probably College) was with various forms of ballpoint pens so I know they work well for that.

I've just discovered that I far prefer the writing experience of fountain pens. I have not explored them for drawing specifically yet. I have sketched out a few little pictures with some of mine, but nothing serious yet.

I guess my only gripe is that they're cheap and made to be thrown out once they're used up which I don't like from a "let's not make unecessary amounts of garbage" perspective.

nostr:npub16jad3sjdf0hynxhmpzpsuuwazqlxrcq824kjpw3w7wr8ldt3xm0q0zq4nn pointed me towards these pen bodies that accept any ink refill. I would likely lean towards that if I were to want a pen body that accepted rollerball refills.

Then it's "my pen" and reduces the garbage I mentioned before.

I'm be honest, you've got me considering getting one. If I were to keep a backup ballpoint pen this would 100% be the one I would pick.


Dude, that is the Rolls Royce of rollerballs. I can't fault you there. It actually fits most of my criteria and probably all of them of you could find a good enough refill type.

Goulet Pens hands down. They sent me a free Sheaffer 300 when I was sent the wrong color by accident. Best customer service in the industry.


Hmmm... tough because I'm relatively new to this.

As silly as this is, I guess the worst experience is the fact that an unreasonable amount of my income is managing some past poor decisions/unforseen circumsrances for now. If my finances were properly sorted, I would more or less be able to pick up any pen I wanted at almost any time.


TWSBI 580 in orange paired with Diamine Sherwood green.

I wouldn't change a thing. It was a perfect decision and probably why I'm still buying pens and inks.


I don't think I would have one grail pen.

I've got several I have my eye on for various reasons.

- Lamy 2000: Sounds like an all-round solid pen.
- Pilot E95S: Relatively cheap gold nib pen.
- Pilot Vanishing Point: I love the idea of a click-fountain-pen, plus I have the Majohn A1 and A2 so I already know I'm a fan.

Just to name a few.


I would eliminate the price gouging that foreign pen companies utilize when exporting to the American market. Many brands would immediately become much cheaper for us in the Western countries.


Add a child to this and it turns it up to 5000.

I'm still not ready.


I do not have one of those yet but I plan to!

Right now I have my two Sheaffer 300's and my Majohn A1 and A2.


I do like my Lamy pens. The Aion is my favorite at the moment but I think that will change once I get a 2000. Bahaha

#Bitcoin will be spent by people who need to spend it.

#Bitcoin will be hoarded by people who prefer to hoard it.

If you prefer to transact in #Bitcoin, even if you don't need to, that's because you want to be part of the borderless, permissionless economic zone(s) being created in parallel to the permissioned economic institutions of today.

I know what economic zone I want to proliferate in, but I wont admonish someone for wanting to use their Bitcoin differently.

It's antithetical to our mission of creating the largest voluntary economy in human history.

Update!

I've revamped my Creatr profile! Although photography is still a passion of mine, my fountain pen notes seem to have struck a nerve on Nostr. I may still do some photography content here, but for now I think I can add more value to the Nostr community with my writing-oriented work.

I've made my tiers as cheap as I can. I think developing one's writing skill is important, but it shouldn't be restrictively expensive. I will develop some more detailed resources as I go, but for now I will offer some more thoughtful pen reviews, letter writing tips and pen suggestions where appropriate.

Feel free to join me in the craft of writing and collection of fountain pens as a hobby! I would love to have you along as we learn and develop our skills within the #penstr #letters #fountainpens and #artstr communities.

I did Inktober once. I loved it. I don't remember following the prompts though. I just did 31 ink drawings. I would 100% try it again.

In light of the excessive number of gay holidays we have, I feel there are many things left uncelebrated:

International Fence-Sitters Day: All key decision makers at all levels of government and business MUST remain on the fence when considering at least two different options. Effectively nothing changes day-to-day.

International Sleep with your Celebrity Crush Day: Don't worry husbands, your wife won't leave you for him.

International Bone the Babysitter Day: It only happened once, he swears.

International Plank on a Train Day: Whoever stays on the longest wins.

International Ask for Directions Day: Men typically stay home this day which means there's a big uptick in househokd spending for 48 hours.

International Wear a Melon on your Head Day: There's no good time of year for this one so they made it happen once in Winter and once in the summer.

International Slap a Nun Day: Find one, then slap her!

International Poke a Donkey Day: Hospitalizations up 12% on this holiday! Turns out Donkeys are skittish.

International Show Porn to a Rabbit Day: Just to see what happens.

International Remove the Warning Labels Day: Darwin's favorite holiday!

International Kiss an Electric Fence Day: The second day to feature a fence only far more exciting!

The Majohn A1!

Of the two Majohns I've got, this is my favorite. I like the metal body and the texture of this one. It feels a little more substantial in the hand and it actually writes a tad better. That could just be some variation in their nibs though so I'm not putting a lot on that fact.

As with the A2, I love the clicking mechanism. It's super fun to click. Much better than any rollerball pen I've ever used.  Another feature on both I like is the clip. It clips so the nib is up, preventing leaks, which I feel was smart.

Oh and they both come with cartridges that you can fill, substantially increasing their capacity. Love that.

When I first learned about knockoff pens I figured I would be against purchasing them, but when I thought about it a bit deeper, I realized that I could buy both. Why not test the knockoffs out as well?

With this pen, I fully understand that I will be getting at least one Pilot Vanishing Point. I can, and will, support both.

Bitcoin won't destroy your apartment on you.


Agreed.

I didn't account for a bad renter either which can net you a $10k+ easy.


Same size you might use for a small sharpie. Fountain pens are typically a bit wider than your average rollerball pen.

https://i.nostr.build/oMnB5.jpg


Property taxes
Maintenance
Fuel for lawnmowers etc.
Insurance (homeowners is much more expensive than renters)
Unexpected costs
Roof
Renovations

I'm probably missing stuff. There are costs to owning that aren't always passed on to a renter.


Is it bad that i know at least two or three young white girls who married Indian guys?


In Canada it's almost more worth it not to own your home.

Renters have all the rights so being a good and consistent renter is worth it versus the extra loss of money to taxes.

Think of the Bitcoin you could buy!


Top notch.

Turning this into a large format print.

Just waiting for it to be mounted and I should be getting it back in I believe August?

It's a bit of a wait but if the printer is right, it will look amazing. Very much worth it.

Provided this looks how I think it will, I'll be getting more of my photos done as prints.

As stated before, anyone can post photos online. Fewer will produce high quality prints with real world value.

I really like creatr but I haven't done much with mine. I'm too busy to put the requisite work in and unless they've changed it, I operate mostly from mobile which didn't work well for a while.


Greetings! Welcome to the best of the internet!


This made me smile in Bitcoin.


I hope this is real.


I don't know what that says but a pretty girl in a bikini said it so I'm happy about that.


Love it.


Also, fun fact. I've seen Slipknot live. This was prior to Joey Jordison leaving the band. It was one of the best live shows I've been to and I've seen a fair few.


So here's a question then. What do you think Bitcoin's monetization will do to real estate? Especially in markets like Canada where real estate is heavily tied to our monetary system.

Genuinely curious about this.


Excellent song.

The delicious ones arr meat. The ones that give you cancer are vegan.


#### Writing has recently taken hold of my drive and passion and I'm thinking it's more important than I originally thought.

I started this journey having not considered my writing in any way. I began this with a simple desire for a tool that would last me a long time and was not built out of garbage. I found fountain pens. Immediately, I found writing with these a much more enjoyable experience than with any other writing instrument I had used to date. I could chalk that up to the first pen I bought, but I've bought plenty since and even the worst writing one is better than any ballpoint I've ever used.

Since this discovery, I've found every excuse I can to write more and more. I'm journaling, writing letters to my family and I've started writing to several pen pals, not to mention the notes I take for work or the notes I'll take for projects at home. I write more now than I ever have in my life and it's not like I'm a stranger to writing in a journal. I've even started expressing my thoughts more within the digital realm as a result. This is a big deal for me and it is way bigger than me just trying to improve my handwriting.

I've started to find others now, who espouse the importance of writing. Not handwriting as such, but writing in general.


Oh wow that's weird and fantastic.


**In an increasingly regulated world, the industries that are not heavily regulated need to start switching to Bitcoin and Lightning payments now**

**I**'ll start this article off by giving you a little bit of back story. I'm from Canada and in Canada the government is increasingly crushing people under high taxes, massive inflation and unreasonable regulation. This seems to be the story in a lot of places but Canada is particularly bad on the regulation and taxes front, at least from my perspective. I live in a rural area where gasoline prices are much higher than in the higher population density areas of our province.  Food prices are higher, product prices are higher including on the used market and property taxes here are way higher than what one might expect in such a remote area. You get the idea.

 Now when I moved here the only method of income I had was crypto mining, specifically Ethereum. That seemed to be doing well for me for a short time.  As time went on I noticed my savings dipping further and further and even though I was holding a lot of coins that were doing well overall, I was spending much more than I was able to earn with any of the crypto mining methods.  I didn't lose a ton of money on any one of these but the Canadian market got so bad that I was forced to liquidate most of the tokens that I had set aside in order to make myself more on the cryptocurrency market.  Not an ideal situation to be in.

 As time went on I was forced to shut off my Ethereum mining rigs and get a "real job."  Since then I've been more or less happily back in the the fiat mines (literally working at a gold mine) working for a meager (but not terrible) living and doing better than I was without a job. The biggest change over the course of the Last few months has been my switch to Bitcoin maximalism. I've learned more about the technology/currency and I've switched any remaining extra funds over to Bitcoin.

 This all being said,  The Canadian economy is now worse than it's ever been and I'm living paycheck to paycheck even though I make something like $78,000 a year in the mining sector. Obviously, this is absolutely Ridiculous. This is what brings me to my side income.

 I've been a professional photographer for several years now and up until this point I hadn't considered trying to generate an income in anything other than Canadian dollars. With Canada being in the state it is currently I have reconsidered that and I am now accepting preferably Bitcoin or cash but I really want to emphasize Bitcoin.  My issue at the moment is that I live in an area that is very rural and very remote so there are not a lot of people who even know what Bitcoin is let alone people who will actually use it. This is my biggest hurdle at the moment but frankly I don't think it's not much of a hurdle.

 My primary plan for some time has been to build an online business focusing on education, community And maybe a bit of consulting versus going out and doing primarily photo shoots. Obviously that has to exist as part of the business ultimately, but my real goal is to focus on educating others and helping them to get to where I am and beyond.  Basically I want to pass on my skill set and I want to avoid the awful economy as much as I can while doing it.

  This is where accepting Bitcoin comes in. By accepting Bitcoin as payment for my photography services and only using marketplaces that Are built on that technology, I can largely skip past the modern woes of our economy. I can skip out on taxes and I can skip out on any kind of reporting that I would otherwise need to do. I can basically run a business completely free of the government and not need to do anything other than simply do what I would do if it were a hobby.  This really excites me.

 Imagine a world where you can just transact without having to report anything on your taxes. Imagine not having taxes at all! In an industry such as photography where it's mostly digital anyways,  Bitcoin is the perfect method of payment for your services.  With the lightning network And NFC chips, You can do all of your transacting right there on your phone to a lightning enabled Bitcoin wallet.

 I think these industries where there isn't any regulation at all or at least very little regulation, are the perfect places to start doing this. They're the perfect breeding ground for all Bitcoin transactions and businesses.  Why get the government involved at all when you can simply run your business the way it should be run?  As they say on nostr, "Bitcoin fixes this."

I'm really looking forward to building my business in the nostr environment and on the back of a Bitcoin standard. I've already started the transition by joining nostr and I'm beginning to speak about photography there. I don't think I have felt as positive or as enthusiastic about this endeavor since joining nostr as a social platform and I'm really happy that I'm here. I believe that this is the future of digital transactions and social media and it may just be the best way to run an online business going forward.

 Thank you for taking the time to read this and if anybody wants to see anything specific from me feel free to hit me up on nostr! I hope my thoughts brought some value to you and maybe got you thinking about how you could start transitioning your business to a Bitcoin standard.


#### Bitcoin is the perfect currency for the generalist.

A ton of the advice you get when trying to start a creative endeavour is "niche down," "find your niche," or "specialize." I've heard it my entire life and I don't think a single person who's ever handed that advice out has ever followed it themselves.

What it looks like to me is that the paradigm has shifted to one where the generalist will thrive. I know so many people who are locked into one "niche" and it paralyzes them on multiple levels. I think the currency for that will best serve this shift is Bitcoin.


This made me laugh way harder than it should have.


I wrote about how Bitcoin survived China's bans and actually grew much stronger - diving into the details on the level of what was attempted - really showing how Bitcoin thrived despite a very robust attack from a large state adversary - and what lessons can be drawn for future resilience.

Hattip to @`jb55`who gave me the whole story of how Damus had to face down Chinese censors firsthand who took the Damus app down and then banned the default relay IP addresses.

Thank you! I think it's important for a variety of reasons!


I look forward to your report!


The A1 is metal and comes in a smaller selection of colors and styles. The A2 is plastic and comes in more colors.


I actually would! They're a nice transition from normal capless pens to fountain pens. They give you all the benefits of a fountain pen but offer some familiarity with click pens.


I love that book! And a dip pen! I have not tried one of those yet! You'll have to let me know how that experience is for you!


https://i.nostr.build/Z5BXM.jpg
Still working on my letterforms as well as some variants. I'm always looking for different ways to write various letters.

At some point I'll compile a list of the letters and the variations I've come across.

I'm also doing my best to take notes and journal as much as I can. The more I put my thoughts to paper the more coherent they get over time. I'm definitely starting to get into that writing headspace.

I picked up a few Majohn's. The A1 and the A2. They're Pilot Vanishing point knockoffs, but I've heard good things so I thought I would check them out.

Let me tell you, having a click-fountain pen is AWESOME. I love these pens! I definitely see at least one of the two becoming one of my daily carry pens, at least until I get the real vanishing point.

Highly recommend.

Rollerballs, ballpoints, gel pens etc. are fiat.
Fountain pens are BTC.

You get an overall subpar writing experience from your rollerballs and pallpoints. Gel pens are a bit better but still not great. The benefit is that you can write on pretty much any shit paper and it'll work. Generally, these are all made to be tossed after they run out of ink which means they are cheap and plentiful.

Fountain pens give you a much better writing experience overall but typically you'll want to invest in better paper as well. The ink is watery but nibs deliver it well and a big benefit is that you can refill these.

Fountain pens are really for those who have a writing habit of any kind. If you journal, take notes, study or are an artist, a fountain pen is a worthy investment. They last longer as they are built better, they have a more customizable and personal writing experience and they come in many shapes and sizes and price ranges so it's easy to find one that works for you.

You're very welcome! I'm glad it brought you value!

Some things to note:
This colour is a 2021 special edition and apparently it is being discontinued so if you want this colour specifically, I would pick it up as soon as you can.

The other two colours it comes in are a blue and black, both of which are pretty slick. I like the blue a bit better than the black in this case.

I like to pair my pens with their inks in one of two ways. I either match the pen with a colour similar to the colour of the pen or I'll match it with a complimentary colour.

I received my Lamy Aion!

Now this is a nice pen. The entire thing is metal (except for the converter but that's expected) and it's got this brushed, matte finish. The nib is an extra fine that is exclusive to this pen and it writes beautifully!
https://i.nostr.build/Q7ROX.jpg
The cap snaps on nicely and posts as well. Considering there are more metal components in this pen than the Sheaffer, it is actually lighter than they are! I would say this pen is largely comparable to the Sheaffer 300 in most respects but the build quality is definitely a little better.
https://i.nostr.build/6GmPO.jpg
For smaller hands, this might not be the pen you would want as it is a little wide, though light. If you can deal with that, it's a wonderful pen and I wouldn't hesitate to swap Lamy's 14k gold nib onto it to make it a truly premium writing experience.

This pen will run you $70 USD, similar to the Sheaffer 300. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It's damn close already for me as I'm Canadian. At $100k US it's about $136k CAD and frankly, that's not all that life changing.

I hold only Bitcoin.

I'm going to assume that the collapse of the US dollar will also have an effect on the Canadian dollar as well.

I would still only hold Bitcoin regardless.


On June 9 the pedro dollar agreement expires and Saudi Arabia has said that they will not renew the agreement with the US. The pedro dollar was established in 1979 when the US abandoned the gold standard. Without pedro dollar the USD is worth even less than it is already. now you know why everyone is buying gold like mad.

Act accordingly, get rid of excess dollar liquidity, fast.

On Nostr, we can actually begin to see what the minarchist state (or libertarian private government) would end up being like.

The people who currently pay a lot of (net)taxes, tithing, and charitable giving will end up financing most of the infrastructure, but they'll be better-able to limit access by people who aren't paying because all or most of the infrastructure will be private.

Most of the people who aren't paying will be true anarchists and socialists/communists.

It is actually literally degenerate.

"Given to vice" is one of the definitions of that word and I would argue that sex exclusively for pleasure (without the option otherwise) can be classified as a vice as it is a corrupt state of the act of sex. Sex, fundamentally, is for reproduction whether pleasure is involved or not. You can argue that pleasure is a part of the whole act, and I would agree, but when taken to the extreme where there is no option for anything but pleasure, my above argument stands.

They're insane.

When one of the 830's drives by you loaded everything shakes and for a moment you're praying whether you think God exists or not.

If one is going by fast enough, it can fire a rock the size of a baseball through a pickup truck door. Like the metal part...

They are still awe-inspiring to me and I've been at this job for over a year now. That feeling has not worn off one iota.


The 830E is one of the larger commercially produced Komatsu haulers but it is pretty small compared sole larger ones. I'm certain there's a truck that could carry one and a half of this truck in its box.


I know right!?

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure this gold goes straight to the Canadian Mint.

I'm feeding the government their gold.

And I use that to buy Bitcoin.

It's a weird position to be in but the job is pretty fun!


Oh and they burn 3500 liters or so of fuel in a 24 hour period.

The mine I work at has 18 active trucks.

3 shovels (they use more)

2 loaders (similar to the shovels)

And a whole array of support equipment.

Needless to say, when a climate activist starts whining, I just laugh.


The truck is so large that it cannot travel on normal roads. There needs to be something like six meters of solid rock underneath them or they'll crush whatever they're on and sink into the mud.


Ugh, don't remind me.


I have a knife similar to the one he's using here.

Every man should own a knife like this.


We'll thank you! I really appreciate that!

I'm going to keep posting as it seems to have struck a note here on Nostr. I'll likely end up developing some resources that people can use to develop their own handwriting as well!


I drive a 200 ton dump truck in a gold mine. They're designed to haul 200-250 tons of rock at a time.

They're actually very fascinating machines.

Look up the Komatsu 830E haul truck. That's what I drive.


Oooh, good idea!


Amazing.

#newcarssucktooihatemysubarurightnowtoo


A lot of people have heard my moped story but I don’t think I’ve ever told the story of my extremely cheap wedding lol 😂

I got married in 2016, at the time I was aggressively stacking sats and trying to be as frugal as possible.

So I convinced my fiancée to have the wedding in our backyard to save money.

Total cost was under $5,000 which included the dress and her ring (seriously). So how did I pull that off when weddings in America routinely cost 30-50k?

Here’s how…

1. Ring: Her ring is fake. More specifically it’s a moissanite which is a lab grown gemstone that looks like a diamond but isn’t a diamond. My wife was on board with this because it allowed her to get a much bigger stone than she otherwise would have and no one can tell the difference. Total cost: $1,200

2. Dress: When it came time to pick out the dress I didn’t want to interfere, so I just let her mom and sister go pick one out with her. She didn’t have a budget, but she was fully bought into my crazy money saving plan and found a dress she loved that only cost $500. That’s how you know you’re marrying the right girl. Total cost: $500

3. Venue: Free obviously because we did it in our backyard, but I did spend a little buying gifts for the neighbors because we were going to be making a lot of noise. Total cost: $200

4. Tables & chairs: We rented these, something to understand when it comes to rentals. When I called vendors for this wedding I didn’t tell any of them it was a wedding. I used the word “event” on the phone. This makes everything 30% cheaper. Total cost: $600

5. Decorations: we bought a nice metal arch to get married under for $300 and then we spent an additional $500 on lanterns, tablecloths, candles, fake flowers etc… I put them all up myself. Total cost: $800

6. Drinks: Instead of having a fancy bar with a bartender or whatever I went to Costco bought a bunch of wine and beer, threw it in a cooler and called it a day. Total cost: $500

7. Music: at this point in the thread you really think I’m hiring a fancy DJ for this shit? lol no we had a Bluetooth speaker. Total cost: $200

8. Food: instead of doing some BS catering company we got a taco cart guy. Taco cart guy is the shit, you should really have one of these at every event. Everyone loved this dude and said they were some of the best tacos they’ve ever had. Total cost: $500

9. Photo/video: Even though I was running a production company at this time we decided to skip the video altogether. Why? Because nobody ever watches it. Plus my business partner and crew members were going to be attending the wedding. The only thing you want is that one photo of you walking down the aisle that you’re going to hang in the house. So I hired a good photographer I knew in town to show up for 20 mins and take a few shots of the ceremony. Total cost: $400

Bringing the grand total for the backyard wedding to $4,900

The wedding was so out of the norm by modern standards, that my new father in law pulled me aside and suggested I was being too frugal and needed to loosen up a bit. I smiled and nodded politely and then continued right along my path. My wife was on board, I was on board. We had a vision for our future. No one was going to stop me, no matter how “well intentioned” A vision I’m happy to report we are living today.

You want different results than others? You gotta do different shit than they do. Be weird. People will judge you for it, but it won’t matter, because in the end you’ll win.

Today we look back fondly on our cheap wedding. 10/10 would recommend.

Love this. Can this be a trend?

Also, you should add a good fountain pen and notepad into that carry.

Based on your tastes here, I would say something robust like a Lamy in a leather pen slip.

As for the notepad, Rhodia makes an excellent little "Dotpad". 3.3in by 4.7in. Perfect pocket pad.

Fair point. Sometimes it's too much.


Always try to push yourself. Try new things, even if you think they didn't work, you'll learn more from the experience.

A trick with that is you can play with your white balance. White balance will add blue, yellow, green or magenta depending on what's needed. Sounds like you could add some blue to your white balance and that would help balance out that yellow.


Excellent.

I changed my biological age back to at least my late 20's early 30's.

it amazing what fasting, eating red meat, whole food and exercise and do for you

Mentally, I can focus and think clearly, no more brain fog, my recall is so much better

My transformation started on April 6th 2023

I was eating the red meat and whole food before, but I introduced the fasting and exercise just by walking 10,000 step everyday

That is the Sheaffer 300 in matte green. It's the pen I originally ordered but got the black one I have featured previously. I loved the color on it but I ended up with the black one. This one was sent for free to me to make up for the mistake so now I've got both. I'm thrilled with both of them.


Those things rock.

Agreed!


Thank you muchly!


If you read the right book, it might put you to sleep!


Oh shit.

Actually, I should definitely do that!

It showed up!

I don't know why I was so excited about this pen. It's functionally the same as the black one, it writes just as nice but it's green!

I like it very much. Definitely my desk pen.

Right now I've got it inked with Diamine Oxblood but I think I might pair it with one of the purple inks eventually.

Did I say I was excited? Cause I definitely am.

Question for the natural remedey people here on Nostr.

Besides the obvious solution of red meat and organ meats, are there any other iron supplements that one's wife might look into if her iron levels weren't where they needed to be?

I know now iron can be an issue but she's trying to avoid taking an insane amount of pills in a day.

It finally showed up!

So when I began writing letters to my family, I just started writing and I didn't think too much into the formatting and then I realized I actually care about that too, so I started digging.

I came across a few references to this book called "How to Write Letters" by a Professor named J. Willis Westlake from 1876. Naturally, I had to get myself a copy of it!

Now I did not just want one of the many reprints you can get and I don't care for extensive PDFs like what Google offers for free, no,  I wanted the original.

Thanks to Ebay, I found one from 1883 that was in great condition so I picked it up! I found older ones, but they were in rougher shape and I wanted one that was in relatively good shape. Apparently this book is quite rare so this will be one of my few collectibles.

Now onto reading!

No worries! Border Boxes seems to be okay and should work for us.


So a few that I'm looking at currently:

The Pilot E95S.

This pen is spoken of very highly. It has a very classic look and converts from a pocket pen (shorter, small form factor) to a regular sized pen when you post it. It's one of the cheapest gold nib pens one can get and according to many, writes very nicely.

The Lamy Studio

Basically anything Lamy will write well and have that simple Bahaus design to it. Very simple, well-made pens that will last a lifetime.

The Diplomat Aero

You could drop a house on this thing and it would still write. It's a very resilient pen and apparently quite a nice writer as well.
The Pilot Vanishing Point/Decimo

You can't beat a gold nib that retracts and apparently can be left quite a while before the ink will dry out, despite what one might think. I just think the idea of a click-fountain-pen is amazing and very convenient. Definitely high on my list.

The Pilot Falcon

This is a very iconic pen with a very classic look. I think the black and gold version would make an excellent "desk pen" paired with a wooden box with the acessories all inside. Use it to write very important letters to your Grandma.

The BENU Euphoria

I'll be honest, I have no interest in these pens, but I've heard they're great writers and they're highly praised by several pen sellers and content creators. They make great "bag- pens because of the material being lightweight but sturdy and in such vibrant colours and patterns.

The TWSBI Kai

All TWSBI pens are amazing and offer a writing experience far out of their price range. The Kai looks to me to be a special edition pen with a price that matches its quality. My family owns several TWSBIs and you can't go wrong picking one of these up.

Sounds about right.


I will compare the fine Lamy nib to the Sheaffer fine nib Since they're closer in terms of writing experience than these two are.

Neither of these are flex nibs so it's not recommended that you apply a lot of pressure on them to spread the tines as that's not how these are really supposed to be used.

That being said, there is a bit more play in the Lamy nib than the Sheaffer. The Sheaffer is stiffer, but writes a tad smoother than the Lamy.

I have not had any tines cross over each other because I'm not pushing down hard on any of my pens. That's more of a calligraphy pen feature than a fountain pen one. A fountain pen should write under its own weight and really only the softer nibs (14k, 18k gold, flex nibs) have any kind of play in them and even then, it's not much.

Basically, if you're pressing down hard on these, you're using them incorrectly and you're going to damage your pen.


That's fair. I'm not particularly confrontational about such things.


She has not yet. I forgot that was a thing. Might have to look into that.


Interesting. Did not know that!


That would be amazing, I would love to marry her again.

Keeping in mind that infidelity is one of the two reasons that God said a marriage could be destroyed... Unless that's not in Catholicism.


I enjoy your musings.

My wife is black. Very clearly made to be a mother. She's fantastic at it.

We both came from situations where one parent was not around for one reason or another so we both struggle in the relationship a little bit. We love each other and our communication is top-notch. We're also surrounded by Christian friends who care and talk to us in depth about managing a marriage long term.

She's been married once before. Family pressured her but he had cheated on her I believe 7 times so her trust was destroyed. He otherwise treated her very poorly and blamed her for everything.

Then I came along.

I enjoy your musings.

I will never mute you. 😊

I may be relatively new to this but I learn quickly and I spend a lot time studying topics I'm interested in very in-depth. I've learned a lot in only a few months and I plan on picking up a lot more pens, inks and other accessories to continue sharing my experience with them.


https://i.nostr.build/Z50AP.jpg
Closeups of both the Sheaffer and the Lamy nibs.

I love how the Lamy nib comes right off the front of the pen and is interchangeable with other Lamy nibs. It is very easy to turn a fine pen into a broad pen and you can even get 14k gold nibs off the same variety and turn your $30 Lamy into $130 Lamy.

The Sheaffer fine nib on the other hand, writes a touch nicer. It's a bit wetter and makes thicker lines than the Lamy fine. I wouldn't get this pen in anything but a fine as it's somewhere between the Lamy fine and Medium. Overall it's a good writing experience for the money.

Thank you as well and may your men always be inked! 🖋


Very cool!

I was taught in school and despite being an artist young, my handwriting never developed past basics and my printing is atrocious. I mostly new to show down and work on my form but I'll get there.

There is a power in it for sure and I'm fairly well-spoken so I would like my writing to match!


That is my goal! I'm developing/searching for a curriculum for it for my daughter once she's old enough for school. We're homeschooling her anyways, so might as well help her learn it!


That's more or less the way I feel about it. It's very interesting for sure, I just wouldn't have much utility for such a thing and that guy got WAY too excited about it from my perspective.

There's no way I could have an iPad at my job, but I can easily bring in a few pens and a notepad which has worked wonders for my handwriting!


I'm happy with it! It's a good one for my job.


Good points! I appreciate the share though, it makes me flex my reasoning skills. I like posts that force me to think.


May your pen always be inked good sir! 🖋


I'm lucky and grateful and you are too if you stop for a minute and think about it.
You have a place to live, you and fam are in relatively good health.
You are not hungry. Be grateful!
All the other stuff that might be stressing you out can and will be worked out in due time.
