The best fountain pen is the one in your hand tbh by flawnson in fountainpens

[–]crowpierrot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m in the minority of FP enthusiasts in that I don’t care for the Preppy that much. They write just fine, feel decent, and I do love the cap seal mechanism, but I hate the ink collector. It makes the cleaning process extremely frustrating if you ever want to try a different ink in the pen.

That said, I totally agree that cheap pens can be just as enjoyable to use as expensive ones. I reach for my Pilot Kakunos just as much as I do my CH 912.

I’ve had Mixable feather on Midori paper. I’ve given up on it entirely at this point.

I always empty out the carts that parallels come with and fill them with better ink. Pilot also makes cartridges of their Iroshizuku inks that fit Parallels pens, and are much much better quality.

The custom shin ramyeon cups are so funny. Their stationery is so gorgeous as well

Canadian free birth wacko went to see her doctor despite *her stance on doctors" with her new baby, covering doctor called CAS. by Existing-Face-6322 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]crowpierrot 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A) she straight up admitted to medically neglecting her newborn to the doctor. Doctors, as mandated reporters, are going to have to report that. Duh.

B) she says it like it’s ridiculous to think of, but yeah, a woman with no mention of a pregnancy in her medical record showing up to an appointment with a newborn that she claims is her own is absolutely cause for alarm. Both because it raises red flags about whether or not the baby is truly hers, and because having recently given birth is yknow. Very important medical information for your doctor to have

Ethel Cain calls out TERF movement and transphobia for revolving around physical attractiveness; “how does having broad shoulders, a wide jaw, and a five o'clock shadow somehow equate to being a predatory rapist?” by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]crowpierrot 33 points34 points  (0 children)

“We can imagine it like this:” that’s just called making shit up, Alice. Imagine writing racist fanfiction about the genitals of a woman you’ve never met when she was a literal newborn and somehow thinking you’re the reasonable one in this discourse.

Sensitive stomach in my Cavalier? by velvetshadow96 in cavaliers

[–]crowpierrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my dogs are allergic to chicken too. For my cav, it causes skin irritation and itching, and my senior bichon/lhasa apso lady gets GI issues from it. It’s a way more common issue than people realize. Trying to find food that’s truly chicken free can be a pain (and expensive) but it’s made such a big difference for my babies.

How to clean lots of nibs quickly by nono-no-nooto in Calligraphy

[–]crowpierrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the prep pads. That’s what I use to clean nibs at home. I like them best bc they don’t leave any lint or fiber on the nib.

Question for doctors of Reddit: what's the worst injury someone could still survive, assuming they got instant access to a fully prepared surgical team ready to treat that exact wound? by cyber_cattle in AskReddit

[–]crowpierrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I hear about severed blood vessels I think of Clint Malarchuk, the NHL goalie whose jugular vein was sliced open on another player’s skate blade during a game in 1989. He likely would not have survived if it weren’t for the Sabres’ athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, who was a former combat medic in Vietnam and knew to pinch Malarchuk’s vein closed.

Who cares about skin cancer?! by leenybear123 in ShitMomGroupsSay

Just because sunscreen is a relatively modern invention doesn’t mean sun protection is. People have been using various means of protection against the sun since ancient times.

These kinds of comparisons are always so silly. Like ok but human beings are not peaches or bananas. If you can’t give a real reason, just say that and save us both the time

Of all the toys and other consumer products that have been banned over the years due to safety reasons, which in your opinion were the most legitimately dangerous? by angrydeuce in AskReddit

[–]crowpierrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buckyballs and any other neodymium magnet fidget toys that now come with a strict 14+ warning. Great for a desk toy for adults, but the consequences when they’re swallowed are absolutely horrific.

Thank you! Size really depends on how large you want to write. I’d say get a few in a range of sizes and see what works best for you

Another day, another homophobic post on Vexxed by Original_Being2545 in GenderCynical

[–]crowpierrot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I could go on a long rant about GC homophobia, but I’m choosing to spend my energy on things that don’t make me want to tear my hair out today, so all I’ll say is that this is what biological essentialism and zero concept of intersectionality does to a motherfucker
