I submitted a dispute for a video that was demonetised. It's not making much in ad revenue anyway, but it's the principle, ken?

I'm using up the Pink Glitz ink so I can swap it out for a Cross purple ink I've not used in ages. Fountain pens are fun, and this Pelikan pen is such a joy to write with.
