This is why I can easily go a year or more without buying any now!
Oddly, he ignores most things on shelves! Which is a good quality for a writer's (and reader's) cat to have, I feel.
The brand name is Diamine so if you search Diamine Garland you should find it there or elsewhere! ๐
As a non-fishing person, I am the wrong one to ask ๐ I imagine so! I mean, you just need ways to store lots of little similarly-sized things, so... probably?
I am TRYING to be brave
I have a BILLION MILLION TRILLION SQUILLION little bottles, omg
You can read this! :D
(Short answer: buy a TWSBI Eco or ECO-T in your preferred nib size(s), they're not super expensive. They're the easiest to learn to fill and clean. Buy a medium or broad nib if you want sparkle ink. Go to town! ๐)

www.patreon.comI know, I'm just not buying new ink for 2024. :( (I decided I needed to use up what I've got... I now see my mistake of starting with, among other inks, this particular sample.)
Unrelatedly, the clip-on phone lens that I use for those close-up-sparkle shots is like... 10 years old now? Maybe more? I bought it at a dollar store in Vancouver somewhere. I think it's so nice that I'm still getting both utility and pleasure out of something so cheap!
RIGHT?! Every time I'm out (in this pen) I just fill it up with Garland again and I'm like... sample bottle... will be empty soon...... but I cannot weep about it
It adds this weird numinous quality that kind of elevates anything you write EVEN IF what you have written is medium-to-severely stupid
No no that's just the training facility for my research assistants
OK I probably have six-seven hours more work to do today to meet all my deadlines for May 31 (don't ask, I am not smort) but it would be SUPER COOL if backers could pick up both of these tiny, incredible paintings by end of day! ๐
Both of these mini oil paintings are available as backer rewards for @smallwondersmag.com Year 2 Kickstarter Campaign!
Help this mini mag make their year two of wonder come true! โจ

First of all, titles are my nemesis and no one CARES or buys me CUPCAKES when I have to come up with one and
*flees, sobbing*
(Anyway RWTH is a great title)
*high five* Sulphuric acid and high-pressure liquid ammonia and H2S for us!
Ahahaha I had friends at that job who had favourite pumps! (And valves.)
It's all VERY EXCITING to find new things every month that we have to pay for! Like a GAME! :D :D :D
Well this seems unfair, how do we get rid of the irritating voice in that case
Hmmm if you'd like to step into the lab for a minute here to discuss this
No no, more to your left
Little more
On the black 'X' painted on the floor
Can't you just chloroform the man and then ask the woman if you know her
Ahahaha MOOD
I was ALMOST at the point where I was like "Hey, I might have... some disposable income this year??" and then my home insurance and property taxes just went up for a combined total of about $150 more per month
THERE GOES MY DISPOSABLE INCOME
SORRY ECONOMY
The biggest issue with the economy is that everyone wants YOUR money, but doesn't want to pay YOU money, and friends, even Henry Ford knew that if you don't pay your people enough to be able to afford your product, your business is going to fail. You run out of customers.
Well I'm not really supposed to talk about that either
Unless I can ensure that the person I'm talking to won't discuss it with anyone else
I worked there for six years and every day varied between 'brain-meltingly boring' to 'gland-meltingly terrifying,' but the plant itself, I mean the overall site itself, I never stopped loving. It was so INTERESTING. (As a contaminated sites specialist.)
Email exchange reminding me of one of my past jobs -- it's weird because I miss the *place* but I don't really miss the *job* if that makes sense?
I had a favourite tank! (This one, behind the sulphuric acid plant.)
Well we're not SUPPOSED to talk about it
It's in the lab code of conduct that I wrote
I cannot imagine what you could be concerned about!! It is merely one of many scientific facilities aboard this exploration ship!
Seconded. My feeling when I see someone who is hot AND talented is always "How very dare," leave some for the rest of us, it's called SHARING, the least people can do if the book is good is put a bag over their head
*snif* Thank you my frond
I quite understand
And I appreciate your offer of help
Um, would it be too much to request comms privileges to be reinstated? I would like to hear from my assistants at the lab, the backup lab, the secret lab, the secret backup lab, and the Lab That Cannot Be Spoken Of
Wait I have a backup plan and it's to tell them "No no, not me, hit up Sandra for this workshop, thanks byeeeeee" and then VANISH
I have many suggestions for workshops that are focused on private writing like various types of journaling and personal mythmaking and memoir-adjacent writing exercises etc
I am not going to suggest they get into traditional publishing, never fear
It is Not Good For Wellness
Ugh I guess I better get out of my pajamas and into something Zoom Casual for my meeting at 11... v. ironic that they are tapping me to do a writing workshop for a local wellness centre because if there is anyone around here who is UNWELL ABOUT WRITING,
This may explain why I cannot convince the cat that personal space is the space that I have, as a person, that does not have a cat in it
He's like "No dis is OUR space" "It am SHARED"
