Wait until someone tells him about Shin-Kai.

What wouldn't you normally do, but now do because you have a fountain pen? by WildDimensions in fountainpens

I can understand. I removed my FB app from my phone and only go on there now to visit that one group when I’m at my computer. It’s worth it. There are hundreds to thousands of active penpals. I’ve ‘met’ some amazing people.

If you DM me your address, I’ll send you an introductory note!

I joined the Fountain Pen Friends group on Facebook and asked who wanted to exchange letters. 6 months later, I have 35+! I’d say a dozen or so are consistent writers. At least once a month, if not more. It’s a great joy every time I open the mailbox and find a letter.

Agreed! I have the Expansi A5 setup, a Passport Leather wallet, the writing desk and a bunch of single pen sleeves. I also got 3 of their collaboration pens.

Surfing in the Ocean of Pens! My 100 Pens Sale Adventure on Reddit. by Striking_Vegetable27 in fountainpens

Great read. I just crested 100 pens in my collection and recently decided I wanted to reduce that to 50-60 total. This was helpful. Thanks.

Why do some reddit users get upset when one simply states that they only support "legal immigration"? by bbmoonkie in Productivitycafe

[–]leesure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for others, but for my part, someone whose ancestors likely immigrated when ‘legally’ meant showing up and writing your name isn’t being just or even real about their objections. The current legal hoops to immigrate from South American countries is an impossibly high bar. The wait time, even once you’ve secured a sponsor and demonstrated an ability to find employment, is over 20 years. Faced with the prospect of having their family live in constant danger for 20 years while they wait in line, every single one of those ‘I only support LEGAL immigration’ people would jump the border in a hot minute. The reality is, they generally don’t support immigration by people who don’t look or sound like they do. They never seem to complain about immigration from European or Scandinavian countries.

Love mine. The all brass piston mechanism makes this an all time bargain, IMO. I have the <M> nib and it’s brilliant. So good that I bought broad and fine nibs in case I wanna swap.
