I'm a bit of a stationary nerd, though not to the extent that some people take it. I really dislike those cheap ballpoints. Do you prefer the finer things in life, or is any piece of crap good enough for you?

Hey, everyone, go sign up for a guest DJ spot.
Let's also, erm, finish up the 2024 showcase as well.

Feel free to set it up whenever.
cut me loose, DK already played my Lo Moon video a few days ago -- go give it a listen. thanks
I don't use it super often, but writing with a fountain pen is a joy I've relatively recently discovered.
I also love a good fountain pen, but they always dry out on me (I mainly use mechanical pencils at work). I found these guys though and I love them. I bought a box and gave most of them away to spread the joy and had to get another box. Highly recommend.
I'll consider getting those, although I haven't had as much trouble with dried up pens. Plus, I like having my ink containers sitting on my desk, makes me feel olde timey.
Not nearly to the fountain pen level, but when Covid first hit and there were questions about its spread, I bought a ton of branded pens for my office. Ultimately they're just retractable ballpoint pens, but I splurged a little and got some with some very nice heft and a soft grip exterior so they're more pleasant to use.
5 years later and I think I'll finally be re-ordering this year. I'm stupidly looking forward to picking out something even nicer than last time.
I will say, if you're at all fountain pen curious it is reasonably
cheap to get started.
