They are so much fun! But their shimmer inks are *very* glitter forward and need a wider nib. My usual floss the tines trick didn’t work on my ef and I had to go up to a broad to make it work. But so pretty.

Yes they do! And it’s so sparkly! Itβ€˜s called shimmer ink!

As an EF girlie who basically only uses shimmer ink - it’s totally possible to make most inks work with most pens. I’ve only had trouble with Robert Oster and the super Diamine Shimmers that come in the inkvent calendars. all of the other shimmers work just fine! You just have to floss the tines.

Rainbow pens are the best pens!

So sparkly! I’m also an ef nib girl lol and I’ve met a few that I can’t make work. But for the most part shimmer inks work just fine. You just need to floss the tines a few times after a refil.

Iβ€˜m a glutton for punishment and almost exclusively use shimmer inks. lol. Good luck! Fountain pens are so much fun.

What’s funny is I didn’t realize it was his son at first and thought they did some kind of de-aging thing cause my brain kept registering him as a younger Kurt Russell.

Omg same! I was like two of you nearly hooked up - you don’t have to stop just because the other two actually hooked up. all of you should kiss!

It’s definitely some of this. My stress and anxiety is so much worse these days.

Pretty much go look at those articles that tell you how to get better sleep and try things to see what works for you.

-sleep timer to auto shut off audio book I listen to while trying to fall asleep
-if suffering from insomnia; LoΓ³na is super chill, I usually fall asleep mid sleep scape (it breaks the no screens before bed, but sometimes I need it).

In addition to the sleep apnea check, I’ve found a couple of things that work for me:
-ditch devices/tv at least an hour before bed/have less bright lights and do something chill and analog.
-very low dose of melatonin (1mg is plenty)
-consistent bed time

My Apple Watch will show me my breath rate - you could check yours, if it drops very low that’s generally sleep apnea. It’s good info to bring to the doc.

Oh no! i Was really hoping they’d have answers for you. give your kitty some cuddles from me.

I’m going to need a picture of her lying on top of the puzzle kitty when you’re done…

That’s so cool! If you haven’t checked them out Ancient Arts yarn is a Canandian indie dyer. I really like their nettle yarn.

The one I know of is called Sheer β€˜em to Save β€˜em and I’m fascinated by it. Despite being able to search Canada, i think it’s only a US thing though.

I’m learning to spin yarn - and I learned of an organization that is trying to preserve sheep breeds, and if you buy at least 4 oz of wool from a participating farm - you’ll get a sticker! Apparently they also have a β€˜passportβ€˜ you can buy to put said stickers in….
