Yesss. I’ve got this one in a Conklin Nozac 1.5mm stub and it shows off so beautifully!

This Trader Joe’s receipt from 2015 makes me want to cry.

Bill Watterson has been my guiding star throughout my life. Just ask my mother.

New Ink Day! My wife got me a bottle of Birmingham Pen Co Abacus and some extra Glassblower’s Flame for Father’s Day. Dropped in my Lamy Al-Star <f> fountain pen right away. I love the shading and orange undertones.

Lucky enough to see the first stop on tour for @theantlers.bsky.social and Okkervil River at The Drake in Amherst. The show was pared back, intimate, perfect. Everyone was friendly and happy to be there. Will Sheff started his set with The President’s Dead, and the crowd went wild.

I dabbed some of Birmingham Pen Co’s Voltaic Arc fountain pen ink on the box top for faster identification and wow did it put on a show!

The Nahvalur Nautilus fountain pen is a wonderful writing instrument. I can’t use it because it activates my trypophobia somehow. A hole exists where my brain insists it shouldn’t. Even preparing this post has left me feeling nauseous.

Virginia Wolf and I share a penchant for beginning notebooks. I copied this quote into my latest one in fountain pen, but neglected to use “strikingly legible handwriting.”

We are CSA members at the farm down the street. This chive plant from their covered tunnel is going in the ground next week.

I found a random office spiral notebook from staples that handles anything I ink on it with aplomb. It only says “Staples” on the front cover. I have no idea how to get more and I was unable to search through all 2000+ results on the Staples website.

The clouds looked so beautiful through my polarized sunglasses, I tried to capture it with my phone, through the car’s sunroof, one-handed, sunglasses in my mouth. One of those attempts to capture a flying moment where the taking of the picture is the story.

Western Mass has had nearly a week of rain. I grabbed this shot of our lilac bush during a morning lull.

I am a firm believer in No Mow May. This invasive Bugle is crowding out the invasive lawn grass, and I say it’s welcome to it. My pollinators love them.

Thank you! Really beautiful! Reminds me of KWZ Honey, which I just swatched a sample of from VanNess.

I found some inspiration in your poetry.

Your story of fountain pen woe inspired my practice today.

Augusten Burroughs’ new curio boutique in Northampton, Massachusetts: The Shiny Black Door. I captured one of its windows before Christmas.
