It’s that time again! 🖤

Some of my recent media log posts. Honestly, I’m so bad at taking pics and posting my media log, but I’m pretty good at keeping up to date with actually logging stuff!

The world is falling apart and I’m still here fucking around with some pens

My moonman pen, pre-tuning. It’s a Wearingeul ink, but I feel like it shouldn’t be this dry…

I am absolutely in love with this fude pen, but I’m having alignment issues with it. I’m comfortable enough tuning a straight nib, but this strikes the fear or a Rubik’s cube into my heart… anyone able to offer me some advice/guidance? 💜💜

Poking my head back in here- still playing with pens 💜

It’s late for this, buuuuuut- I’m hosting my first ever postal washi swap!

Using a separate pen & ink tracker this year. I’m tracking purchases, swaps, and which pens I ink with which inks. I’m hoping this gives me a better understanding of my own supplies. Do you track anything like this?

This ink has been really well-behaved in every pen that I’ve tried it in so far, including this new-to-me TWSBI- my first TWSBI that isn’t an eco!

One of the things I’m really excited about is learning nib-tuning! Ultimately I have a few vintage fountain pens I’d like to restore, and nib-tuning feels like a great place to start. I picked up a loupe and some loose nibs- with a few jinhaos on the way to get started with- exciting times ahead!

I’m struggling to get along with this ink AND the pen 🫠 but I’m determined to reach our friendship point: ink is in a new pen today, and this pen has a new ink!

Currently trying to figure out what I’m actually doing on here- so for now just enjoy me being a spooky, cozy, weirdo 🖤

Determined to make this year one where I really return to my values and support small businesses and people 💜 would love to hear about all the BC- or Canada-based stationery businesses I might be missing!

I picked up a Pelikan Jazz, and it’s my first Pelikan. It seems to write a lot drier than I thought it would?? Like, similar to a Kaweco? I’d love to know what other folks think about Pelikans in general

Finishing a spread like this is one of the most satisfying things right now 💜

New here! Learning different scripts, starting to tinker with nibs and vintage fountain pens- trying to find my people! 💜
