Looking for a way to seal fountain pen cartridges after refilling them with ink so I can carry them around for situations where I don't have ready ink at hand to fill. Has anyone here tried this? Do you think beeswax will work?

I didn't grow up reading Science Reporter and stuff though (I grew up on Sanctuary CUB and later the "grown-up" Sanctuary) but a bunch of us were editing a magazine until recently that I wish was still running: https://snipettemag.com/

Your periodic reminder that Israel is still committing genocide in #Palestine
This time, they've managed to turn everyone's attention away with a sham "ceasefire" that lasted only long enough to release their prisoners of war (and didn't quite hold even during that period)

would adding them to wiktionary be a start? But maybe it's not so simple in the case of non-exact matchings for words 🤔️

hi Pepper and Carrot 👋️ always great to see y'all in my timeline!!
I have an e-ink monitor so these line drawings come useful as I can use them for wallpapers instead of the coloured ones! (Maybe the full colour pictures can also be converted to line drawings in Krita by toggling layers? I haven't investigated)

The Government of India has now officially declared war on books. I take this personally.

I'm coming #travelling on a brief trip to #Malaysia! A day each at Johor Bahru and Malacca and a very brief one at Kuala Lumpur. Anything inexpensive (food, sights) I shouldn't miss?

is there a list somewhere of all the higher-up Labour leaders who've left the party in the past few months? I've noticed quite a few but wasn't really keeping track: it would be nice to see them all in one place! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

aren't Palestinians and Lebanese people Semites though? I'd say the IDF is the most antisemitic terrorist group at the moment...
