Great ask. Lamy Rollerball pens are my go-to, they have a really good ink flow and feel comfort to write with for extended periods of time. I like their fountain pens but Iโve found that once you replace the ink cartridge they never work as well.

its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention

they're nifty, elegant, and fun. all the little things that make up a fountain pen are very cool-- nibs, ink cartridges and converters, clips, oh and of course, INKS! some fountain pens are for calligraphy, others for everyday use. there's beginner-friendly ones and super fanciful ones, too. i like them all. they can be cute or they can be classy, have your pick. you can be a lamy loyalist or a twsbi truther. as for me? i'm with the kaweco kind. much love to my pilot pals always. they can be an expensive hobby, so i make do with my humble, tiny collection.

This was a rec from someone else that reminded me I had one in primary school So I bought a new one! (so maybe itโs a rec from 10 year old me too?). They come in lots of colours and feel really nice in your hand, and donโt slow down your writing which as a speedy writer I find lots of pens do

Incredible book that changed the way I appreciate art.
Honourable mention to G. by John Berger, fiction but also excellent.

Going to the gym every day isnโt mental fortitude. Reading a 400 page book about Oliver Cromwell is mental fortitude.
