When I was poking around on the internet looking at information on National Arts and Humanities Month, I came across some pretty cool links that, well, link letter writing and the humanities. I'm sure there are plenty more out there, but these are the ones I came across:
My Brilliant Pen Pal by the DePaul Humanities Center - this program allows people to mail questions to scientists, writers, etc. I don't know if the program is still in place since the last "brilliant pen pals" listed were for Spring. Still, it is a cool idea.
"I have now attained the true art of letter-writing, which we are always told, is to express on paper exactly what one would say to the same person by word of mouth." -- Jane Austen
Rouge: Hi ! Just a few days ago, I've seen some Herbin's Ink bottles, in my favorite stationary shop. I really liked the Vert de Gris and Vert Empire colors, and I went from "How can I choose between them ?" to "Why should I have to choose anyway ?"

radellaf: Fireside and (another teal?) Velvet Emerald. I ordered Cashmere Rose, Early Dusk, Jacaranda, Walnut, Weeping Willow as well; I think that's all the colors with no added particles.

radellaf: Vert de Gris and Rouge Grenat may be my favorite Herbins.

distractedmom: I have a shipment from Birmingham pens arriving today. I can’t resist an ink with a good name. I love the Megalodon.

radellaf: I have so many of theirs partly for the names. I've passed up their last four bundles to save for the Diamines.

stompie: My very first Waterman ink! Intense Black and it is so wet!

distractedmom: I have Waterman Audacious Red (not as audacious as I had hoped) and Inspired Blue (a favorite!)

Mia: black for 2024 inkvent

radellaf: So now to decide: order the Inkvent calendar, or wait 6 months and order the colors I like? Probably the latter. I don't want any more glitter/shimmer/chameleon inks with particles. I'm not diligent enough to use those (and I have enough)

radellaf: Gratz. Looks like a pretty destination. I wanna do another 3-night beach trip this October, or the mountains. Haven't been to them for years. Longer drive.
