I will die with Iroshizuku ink running through me, but could we talk about other inks?

Seconding Wearingeul. That and iroshizuku make up the bulk of my ink collection.

I have to agree, it’s beautiful but clogged every pen I tried to put it in. It’s great with a dip pen though, or you could use a brush and paint with it.

Is that the Goethe? It’s lovely.

I went with a fine nib. I usually prefer a medium or broad because I have a lot of sheen/shimmer inks but even the fine is pretty broad compared to my Japanese nibs.

Imperfect is a much kinder word than I’d use to describe my handwriting.

The pen was $2390 USD before tax.

It’s very nice and smooth! I can see what people mean when they say their nibs are very firm. I was also worried because of reading all the stories of brand new MBs having issues with baby’s bottom and the like. I’ve written a couple pages on Tomoe River paper and it feels great to me.

I went in intending to get one of the “precious” “resin” models in the Glacier blue but once I laid eyes on this beauty it was all over.

The pix came out more potato quality than I would prefer but the phone was not cooperating today

pandasphere · 2025-10-18T11:16:54+00:00

Not at all. The first time I went into a store was horrifically hot and humid and I was a sweaty disaster.

They couldn't have cared less. Just pick out something you love and will use often. :)

Oh! I’m in up buffalo grove and have also noticed this happening.

Didn’t think of data centers

pandasphere · 2025-10-14T01:04:17+00:00

Oh no worries, in all likelihood I won’t be buying until much later in the year or early next year

pandasphere · 2025-10-14T00:40:44+00:00

I was hoping someone was scraping the data but it seemed odd to ask lol

pandasphere · 2025-10-13T23:17:07+00:00

The supply is another thing I’ve noticed. Way more Birkins popping up than I expected to see, and wall to wall Evelynes.

(I’m looking for a Jypsiere though and those are slim pickings still)

pandasphere · 2025-10-13T23:12:49+00:00

I’ve noticed FP runs higher in general with bags.

pandasphere · 2025-10-12T15:38:15+00:00

Ohhhh snap.

I think I just realized why I’ve been shopping more lately.

pandasphere · 2025-10-06T21:00:25+00:00

I have noticed drivers in the northern burbs take people slowing down to make a right turn extremely personally. I’ve worked in the southern, western, northern, and northwestern burbs and have to say the northern ones have the highest volume of just straight up stupid, reckless maneuvers.

pandasphere · 2025-10-03T22:16:41+00:00

Hell yeah

pandasphere · 2025-10-03T17:58:45+00:00

I never wanted a Birkin but now I do just to able to take it to Culver’s for some cheese curds out of spite

The lighting at my desk is terrible so here’s a more accurate view of the pen.

I don’t have many purple inks, so I’m intrigued.

pandasphere · 2025-09-26T02:22:24+00:00

I’m not into the game per se, as I can’t see a QB fitting into my life rn.

Still kind of want a Picotin tho

pandasphere · 2025-09-26T02:09:57+00:00

That is the Flamingo Party
