Elsewhere on Bluesky folks are noting that The Kids These Days aren't much into Douglas Adams. As someone who is much into Douglas Adams (and in fact wrote an intro to new edition of his works) allow me to remind folks that it's not actually surprising when The Kids aren't into decades-old stuff.

No feathering or ghosting. Only slight bleed where I really put down a lot of ink!

My very first time writing with a Dip Pen. Different feel, but I like it.

#EndlessAlchemy Raven Blue ink
#Leuchtturm1917 80gsm A5

Maybe I should use it as a dedicated swatching pen?

The Hero is a Safari copy, but is a good pen and has some nice features, nib isn’t as good as a Lamy though.

I’ve had the #TraderJoes version of #Uncrustables (crustless) in my freezer for so long I think they’ve become permafrost!

I just took one out to thaw, I’ll post how it was next week sometime after I’m able to eat it!
