A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Okay, so I've seen a thing were people will send a box of #FountainPen ink samples around by mail from person to person. Individuals will add and remove inks from this box, recording the changes in a log book. It seems like a really cool way to get exposed to new inks, and I'd really like to participate in one of these. Is anyone doing this in Canada?

This is an example of what I'm talking about.

I've thought about organizing one. The trick is that I don't know how this would work without giving a bunch of random internet strangers my postal address, which I'm not sure I want to do.

Is there a safe address you could give, a rented post box, or something?

@pathfinder I mean, a PO box is an option, but last I checked I remember not being able to justify the cost.

@me
As a short term solution it may be worth it though. Whilst you build up trust with the other members of the group.

@pathfinder Maybe that's the route to go. I wish I personally knew enough people who were into the hobby locally to be able to bootstrap such a thing.

@me
Put the word out, see what happens and then work out the logistics, if anything comes from it.
