I put a pen in the wash by mistake, and the nib is severely damaged. It's an old pen (rOtring Newton, 18 K gold nib), and there are no replacements. Can anyone recommend a nib meister? #fountainpen #fountainpens

@ko@gotosocial.art Almost all the art books mentioned in the replies are comics related, so I wanted to jump in to say I have history of art, artists from dadaists to Pol Bury to Cornell to Rauschenberg to Lichtenstein, and a few architects. I now live in a much smaller place, so I have no room for more and a lot hidden away in boxes. I've had to stop. I used to try to buy books from museum exhibits whenever I liked a show.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run I love my Fold 5. I've had it for three years. The screen protector delaminated after about a year, and I had to have it replaced by a shop that was a bit far away. I had to wait a week, since they didn't have one in stock. That said, they did it on the spot and it wasn't expensive. No problems since. I use a case that protects the hinge. I've dropped it numerous times, even open, with no problem. It has allowed me to stop using a tablet. I use VNC on it, though it's a bit awkward.
