@heroineinabook @bookstodon Sadly, I just did this on Saturday. It was the only solution I could come up with as well. It will all be ok in the long run, painful but ok 💪

@Ashley every damn time...I feel your pain 😞

@krystynlambert Infinite inks and one Pilot 843 please 😎

So I have a question for you… Would you rather have an infinite number of #fountainpens but only one #ink OR an infinite number of inks but only one #fountainpen?? For me, it’d be infinite pens with Diamine Onyx Black. Either way, lmk what your one item would be!

So, I’m resisting getting into audio books because it seemed like cheating somehow, as there is no physical reason to do so.
With this in mind I open the floor to my fellow #Mastodon peeps. (VI folk are excused on the basis of necessity 🫶 )

Should I make the leap into a brave new format, or will doing so leave me a broken and bitter exile from the literary world?

"Red and white, blue suede shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my."

US Blues, Grateful Dead, 7/4/89 Orchard Park, NY

@SFFMagazineCovers @fabianocerqueira Nothing better than a wizard with a computer!

The problem with editing old books, films and TV to remove all acknowledgment of systemic prejudice is that it raises new generations to think that such prejudice never really existed, and that the social-change movements that fought those prejudices were lying and frivolous and unnecessary.

We already have GOP extremists forcing that notion into school curricula. We don't need well-meaning progressives aiding and abetting them in spreading that lie.

@maryellen_reads @bookstodon It was a fantastic book. I can't wait to start Bookshops & Bonedust.

Best part of a fountain pen meetup other than getting together with friends? Lots of new ink and pens to play with! Plus, getting to bring home samples is always awesome 😎 #fountainpen #fountainpenink

@aleen Good luck 🤞 Hope you find one!

So if anyone ordered an Iridescent Purple Mark One from Studio Neat but has decided they don't want it, please let me know. Things were too nebulous for me to pre-order before the move and I'm having serious FOMO. #FountainPen #FountainPens

I used to think the "winners" in life were the people who had the most awards, the most money, the biggest fame, and the most political power.

Now I realize the real winners are the people who are kind, who bring joy, who serve and take care of others, and who make the world a better place.

@Nikkileah naps and cats....both great 👍
