this alt of mine would have much better flow if I had more energy to transplant posts with full alt text, and more artsy wallflower sadgirl/sadboy posters to follow #onhere and collect drafts from

i lost my dad 25 years ago today*

i don't know if I'll go there #onHere or not. there's a lot.

*for certain common values of lost

Folx #onHere recommended that I get a Pilot Kakuno or Twsbi Eco as another starter fountain pen, thank you for that. I was meeting someone, an up-and-coming creator focused on journaling/arts, in person for the first time and coincidentally they were going to get something similar (though, for their purposes, it would be a "beater" pen, as they put it). We bonded a bit over the experience of trying out the different sizes of Eco, and I swapped pens with them in exchange for ink, given that I currently don't own any, and they have far too much. They were surprised at how much they liked a stubby/bold nib as an extra fine user, and conversely, I was surprised with how much I liked the fine as a bold user. The nib felt smoother than the Pilot Preppy and I think it will help to have lettering that doesn't take up as much space when minimizing the number of sheets in a letter. Filling the Twsbi's piston cartridge for the first time was fascinating. I also got a converter for the Preppy, per the other recs I got on here too! I do want to give it another chance.

Been heavily considering getting an mp3/digital audio player soon to try out the non-streaming life and also separate my music listening from my naggy phone.

Anyone #onHere done the same/similar? How do you like consuming your music sans-streaming? Sans-smartphone? Aside from superior audio quality, do you think it has affected your life in a positive way?
