Behold, a $7 pen that writes as well as anything, purchased from a local stationery shop. Original ink cartridge re-filled using a re-usable $4 pack of ink syringes, filled from a $20 bottle of ink that lasts for weeks of heavy writing or months/years of casual writing.
Fountain pens is only a pricey hobby if you buy pricey pens. Unfortunately, many pricey pens are very very desirable. And so, you will want pricey pens.

Platinum preppy fountain pen. Better than the much more expensive pilot fountain pen i have. People don't like fountain pens and can't even write correctly with them but for me they are awesome.
Agreed that less and less people know how to use one and don't care if there pen is bad. Then they think the fountain pen is bad when its actually much better.
I feel like the expensive nibs like gold nibs are better but also the rest of the pen the cheaper ones are better
I actually like the cheap pens because they tend to be less temperamental than the really pricey ones (or so I've heard), and if it goes bad (or you drop it on the nib, OWWWW!!!), it's cheap enough to get replacement parts.
My #TWSBI Eco is on its second nib. The nib was about half the price of the pen, but the pen was $30, so.. .;)
I agree I actually like the cheaper ones because its easier to carry around and I don't have to worry about it much. Also if I don't use it for awhile it will not dry up like my other expensive fountain pen does.
So actually while the nib on the more expensive fountain pen is better the overall pen is not better.
$30 for a nib is expensive but worth it for keeping the pen going.

I enjoy making music and noise, as well as putting together contraptions that help me with that: analog pedals and synths, a little bit of software.
Recently I've been trying to explore atonal and noise elements in music, improve my sound design chops and look for unusual movie soundtracks. Any pointers to artists and instruments in that realm would be appreciated!

The image features a large crowd of people arranged to form the flag of Portugal. The flag is divided into two vertical halves: the left half is green, and the right half is red, with a yellow circle in the center containing a white shield with blue and red details. The people are densely packed, creating a textured appearance that mimics the flag's colors and design. Above the image, there is a block of text in Portuguese, which reads: "ninguém tem sangue puro e a falácia da ascendência única não tem correspondência com a realidade, cada um de nós é uma soma do nativo e do migrante, do europeu e do africano, do branco, do negro e de todas as outras cores humanas. Somos descendentes do escravo e do senhor que o escravizou." The text is attributed to Lídia Jorge.

The background is a light purple with the text "10 JUNHO 2025 Lagos" prominently displayed, along with "PORTUGAL CAMÕES COMUNIDADES." Below the woman, there is a quote in Portuguese attributed to Lídia Jorge from Público, dated 10 de Junho de 2025. The quote discusses the diversity of human ancestry and the importance of understanding this to mitigate extreme revisionist views. The bottom right corner of the image includes the text "FRASE DO DIA" and the logo "abril."

They want us to believe resistance is futile. But we know better. A win stalls their agenda. A delay buys us time. A political blow exposes their weakness. We fight on every front. The tide will turn - because we are turning it.
