I find the constant stream of &#34;Limited Editions&#34; very tiring. i&#39;m still relatively quite new into fountain pens (got my first one in 2023). I think this is ultimately part of the end-stage capitalism world we live in. If a company does as well this year that they did last year, they&#39;re considered a failure. That&#39;s driving a lot of the same sales tactics and push for overconsumption in many industries. 2025-03-19T08:12:29+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8sxhz8aycyem7vw4xqp2du4vejzn7k37rrkrps708cf98uxslyxczyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhjq8yhh3 Tonight&#39;s #FountainPens include:<br/><br/>Tega Pen Co Fantasy Snorkel &lt;EF 14k Imperial&gt; inked with Waterman&#39;s Tender Purple<br/>TWSBI Vac 700R Iris &lt;F&gt; inked with Diplomat Royal Blue<br/>Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age Skylight &lt;EF 18k&gt; inked with Monteverde Horizon Blue 2025-03-18T10:29:44+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxwtjf9ughd03du4cmvd6slcn4ep7xcsmt7ntfpygr42asmdq7wlqzyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhj9ghrp7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspnuywd46pkwx7hvfq9al4u3wqz8k0tlsx7rg5aqpkhkgzddzfaqcsgjlf8'>nevent1q…jlf8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah, this style gave lots of preferential treatment to whatever got posted first, which the winning shade was posted very early 2025-03-06T02:28:32+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv086vhngvl927ktk8f37uj60gekvpmpf7448n0e3la4ma3k4s02gzyzsy9tzfjlsfdn6jed0kdxcsezwr7ks76ukfca9h6dqcjuteugyhj0u2clc Just saw the Diamine/Reddit ink shade results and any excitement I may have had for it are immediately dead.
