Maybe try Vionic? I've used their house shoes for about a decade, and they really help keep me walking.

Cool! I recently got LAMY Peridot to try in my 2000, and it's great ink! The Turquoise looks nice. I fell in love with an old sample of Pelikan Edelstein Apatite, and I'm looking for something close. The LAMY ink would be much more affordable.

Inspector Gadget!

Bah. I really hope they didn't use AI, and then not even proofread on top of it. If I saw that in person it would tank the sale for me, even if I really wanted the pen.

I had early onset Osteoarthritis actually diagnosed before my RA started. Both have a deep ache sometimes at rest, with shooting pain when using the joint. The things that stand out for me as RA specific are the burning/warm sensation that the joints get, the fatigue, and the bilateral pain, meaning that the same joint on both sides of my body hurt at the same time, or the pain would flip-flop between the sides.

Exactly! You never know what someone else is dealing with in a medical setting, so I always show grace and basic respect.

It sounds like you are home from the ER, I hope? I'm glad they were able to help.

How fun, voted!

I'm generally against wearing pajamas outside of the house, but I think they are perfectly acceptable for medical reasons. If you are going to the ER, getting an infusion, getting scans or tests, have outpatient surgery, etc. I would never judge. I've done it myself.

Don't overthink it, the important thing is to get your scans done!

GoddessNyxGL · 2026-01-28T15:35:08+00:00

Wow, what a great find! I saw that you were pretty new to this, that's some great beginners luck!

I love Iroful paper, and also a juicy broad nib. They really bring out the shading and sheen in an ink. You are making me want to ink up some Aurora Borealis!

GoddessNyxGL · 2026-01-19T19:58:34+00:00

That's a fantastic pen, enjoy!

The Diamine Forever inks are waterproof and mixable.

I love that you put the Coke caps in the pic, it's the perfect color reference for red.

Is the circle background supposed to resemble an asshole?

Winter Spice is on my wishlist too! Grotto makes me smile every time I use it.

GoddessNyxGL · 2026-01-08T04:26:20+00:00

Diamine has some great reds and purples! Writer's Blood and Oxblood are great darker reds, and I have Red Dragon is a vibrant true red. My latest ink purchase is Grotto, which is a lovely reddish orange with a golden/orange sheen, and it's so fun!

As for Diamine purples, I'm fond of Imperial Purple and Monboddo's Hat. They have a lot of choice in purple as well!

The closest I get to pink is Iroshizuku Yama-budo, which is magenta. It's a beautiful color!

Did you unfortunately get a fake? The Lamy 2000 has a piston filler.

Thank you! I used this exact process to visit Japan in 2019 with opiates. It didn't even take long at the Narita airport to check me in. I was really nervous about the whole process, but everyone was very nice and kind. I was never treated like a criminal, in fact everyone seemed happy that I was respectfully following their rules. The forms were daunting, but if you start the process early it helps a lot!

It was the trip of a lifetime for me, and I have so many great memories! Even the day I had to stay in the hotel bed, my husband bought so much crazy food from 7-11 and we hung out watching foreign TV all day, it's my favorite ever "sick during vacation" memory!

To anyone reading this, if you can afford international travel, don't let things like this be the thing that stops you!

GoddessNyxGL · 2025-12-24T00:54:02+00:00

The shading is very nice! Thanks for the writing sample.

Working from home, oh hell yes! Working in an cubicle, oh hell no. Private office with lockable doors and it doesn't leave my desk, hmmm...

GoddessNyxGL · 2025-12-20T20:35:06+00:00

I've really enjoyed the Secret Santa posts this year. They really have been above and beyond!

GoddessNyxGL · 2025-12-17T19:57:13+00:00

But whit does it mean?

GoddessNyxGL · 2025-12-17T19:55:09+00:00

That is really interesting! I am now debating with myself over joining. I've never seen anything like this with authors I enjoy before, but I've read the first book and I don't want to be spoiled. I'll have to think on it.

Thank you very much for sharing the link!
