@catbuttes It can be affordable. Ink samples can be found at some retailers or trading with friends. Plenty of quality pens for <$50. Plenty of not so quality pens too. If you focus on doing things with your pens, you may feel less desire to collect. Or at least you can say the money spent lets […]

#swatchwednesday on Saturday. I'm either late this week or early for next. Two inks from Sailor's Yurameku series, Date Gokoro and Byakuya that are designed to look different with pen or paper. Two images, Colodex on top and Iroful below. Date Gokoro is […] [Original post on flipping.rocks]

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I like canola for most cooking. It has a light neutral flavor and doesn't burn too easy. Corn oil tastes and smells like, well, corn.

@vicgrinberg Are there any good units that you know to visualize the mass of CMEs? Something like 200 blue whales or half a Moon. The raw numbers aren't landing in my brain well. How big are they and how much hits the Earth during a solar storm?

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I wouldn't call it more fancy but it does drift out of bluegrass and into classical harmonies and melody variations. Traditional players also vary a tune but not in this calculated fashion. I think it was Melvin Wine that was said to never play a tune the same way once.
