Anyone with a recommendation for a #fountainpen? I've been considering getting one and just completed my self-imposed two-month test run with a disposable Pilot Varsity with satisfactory results. Here's what I'm looking for:
Something fairly slim, say 11mm barrel or less
Vacuum/plunger fill, piston would be a reasonable alternative
Flexible nib would be a plus
So far I think my best option might be a used Conklin Nozac Vest Pocket or perhaps a Sheaffer Balance Slender. I don't mind a little DIY effort, but if it'd take expensive specialised tools to maintain an old pen, then maybe I'm better off looking at newer models. What #fountainpens can the Fediverse recommend?

That... is... brilliant! Even if only to get them out of the regular lanes!

Think this is a great time to remind myself that the south is dealing with this bs for soooo long(for about 15 years i think)… The government just keeps on failing yet they keep re-electing them…

As much as I hate Trumpโฆ I lost so much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new lowโฆ
This is new? ๐ค๐ Iโm glad you caught it tho!
Interesting fact of the day... there is a species of dog that is a single-cellular species.
Wow, democrats are really showing their colors today with this whole "boycott the CNN" thing... Unless I missed soemthing he is a presidential candidate, and one who so far hasnt been found guilty of anything that would disqualify him... and a popular one.
Yes he is a piece of shit, and yes he has no business being in politics... But its not CNNs job to make those decisions. Their job is to let the candidates say their piece and let the public decide from there (or the courts if there are legal questions).
As much as I hate Trump... I lost **so** much respect for the democrats today. Supporting censorship, specifically doing so with the intent of winning an election in their favor, is a new low... dont be that party...

Holy fuck that was something.... After 24 hours or so of being bombed one targeted my neighboorhood just now and the local sirens went off. I had to run to the bomb shelter. After a minute or two I heard the explosion overhead. Luckily I dont think it landed, it probably exploded in the air.. but damn.

When I lived in an even worse neighborhood, people got murdered(not specifically shot) almost daily. It became something not worth mentioning as it was so common- you would only care if it was someone you knew or was nextdoor.
Holy fuck that last bomb was close.... the whole building shook!
All day there have been explosions from missiles going off overhead... the shockwave shakes the walls... Its some crazy shit.... kinda surreal being in effectively a war zone with everyone going about their business as if it wasnt even happening.

@freepeoplesfreepress I agree with your assessment of universedon. It is a newer instance but very well run from what I've seen from afar.
Its been great having you on QOTO along with all of the other wonderful reporters and journalists we have here.
