I use a paper towel in the bottom of a cup for drying out my #fountainpens. I rarely get ALL of the ink out, especially in my #vintagepens where vigorous cleaning just means more wear and tear on the filling mechanism. After many pens have each donated their water along with a bit of ink, I get this fun slow-motion chromatography mosaic.

Today in Vintage Fountain Pen Brain, seeing a sentence that includes mention of a distance of 2668 miles: “Ah yes, that is a amount of miles.”

@timelordiroh@mstdn.iroh.tv I meet lots of people who hear “fountain pen” and think “dip pen” or even picture like a quill or something. I’m sure that doesn’t help.
