Stop acting like you're "fighting" anything. Your belief that you are is either self-serving or ignorant of how that website funds itself & how it pays the fascists you're yelling at for getting you to yell.

@ZhiZhu Red states want women to have lots of babies. To have lots of healthy babies, the state needs good obstetricians and gynecologists. But red state legislatures pretend to know more about obstetrics than doctors, so the doctors are leaving. Good job!
We really need to stop electing stupid people to lead us.
"One by one, doctors who handle high-risk pregnancies are disappearing from Idaho — part of a wave of obstetricians fleeing restrictive abortion laws and a hostile state legislature...
All told, more than a dozen labor and delivery doctors — including five of Idaho’s nine longtime maternal-fetal experts — will have either left or retired by the end of this year."

@TruthSandwich @lovelylovely That's certainly true. Hamstringing the Natonal Guard for several hours allowed the insurrectionists to proceed unimpeded.
@griff @lovelylovely Well, look at the bright side. You probably don't have to worry about getting shot for having something other than a Trump sign in your yard.

@atomicpoet USian here. Went to good schools in the U.S.A. in the 60s and 70s. None of that was taught. I know the history because I'm an amateur history buff. Most people in the U.S. aren't.

@bethsawin i quit twitter, quit bluesky, mostly quit facebook and use mastodon almost exclusively now. i'm well aware of how far mastodon and the fediverse are from full usability for different types of users, so i donate to @Are0h's patreon to support his collaborative work on elevating our overall trust and safety here. there is some exciting work happening there and i'm enthusiastic about the future of the fedi
@keraba Ah, well, haha, I wasn't writing sales material for Jinhao. Various pen sellers carry Jinhao and you can find an abundance of them on Amazon. Lots of product info there.
As far as I know, they make no piston fillers (unless you count converters.) Their converters work very well also. Never had a problem.
They have a new model, I believe it's the X159 that takes a #8 nib. It can accommodate an international cartridge or standard converter as you'd expect. But it has space inside for an extra large converter that they'll offer for that pen. I guess they'd like to appeal to the TWSBI users like me who enjoy the huge ink capacity.
Other than listings by pen dealers and on Amazon, I don't know of where to get more product info.
Lastly I should mention that the X designation can be important. For example the 159 and X159 are very different pens. So beware of that.
