Yeah, it does dry if I set it out for too long ๐Ÿ™‚ but I use it enough that it isn't an issue.

Ooh. I've heard about the ranga pens! They look gorgeous to me!

My very first ink I brought was this. The noodlers polar green ink. It feathered like nothing else even on good paper sometimes... But the color is still gorgeous to me. But as it stands I'm unable to use it

I've been using this pen for a while, not sure how long with the hero 234 ink. It's perfect. The nib and the pen itself still has the old moonman branding.

Do you have a workhouse pen?

authors do get money from libraries that buy the books. and in some places they even get money depending on how much its checked out.

Ive used /r/penpals before with good results, as well as swapbot. Would highly recommend a po box.

Clicked on it and the first thing I saw is "women's bodies were meant for the male gaze"

I'm not a fan of lemmygrad at all but yeah thats wild lol

yeah! You're right ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™‚! and I'm so happy to see it.

donations are important too! id like to donate more when I can eventually when I am more stable (in the most general term). one day

yeah thats what I plan on doing! I hope you're right and I'm just being paranoid. thankfully a lot of other instances are defederating from threads too... hopefully it'll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe

optimistically, the fact that zuck is even trying to take over the fediverse means he sees it as a threat. we've been already doing well enough without their "help" and it scares him

yeah but threads has advertising and corporate money backing it up checkmate library

for real though my greatest fear is that threads devouring the fediverse regardless of how much of a dumpster fire it is

oddly enough I prefer the new ui over to the old ui. Feels snappier

(Probably because I'm on mobile though?)
