One thing I really like about the fediverse is how many people use and collect #FountainPens and write about it.
I mean, compared to writing quills, fountain pens are technical stuff, but they're very analogue and talking about them online is kinda cool.

Fountain pens. Running your own kiln for your own pottery. Growing your own veggies in the garden. Coding in assembly language. Restoring a PDP-11 minicomputer and running Unix Version 7 on it. Playing the organ. Playing a renaissance bass recorder. Mixing your own oil paints. Setting up an independent network of radio communication.
All of those things I want to read about. With some, I want to daydream of doing them myself. Most I won't do. All are joyful. Thank you, Fediverse.
