As someone who had a flight medic certification and nearly applied to work at Jet Rescue once upon a time, there are no words for the grief I feel for the loss of the crew, the patient, and their family.
Rest easy, my brothers and sisters. We've got it from here. 💔

For any of my friends grieving about what we've learned about Neil Gaiman.
May I suggest the excellent work of @alixeharrow.bsky.social ? Her books are incredible and helped me when I was in a Bad Place™, and everything I can find about her is that she's a good egg.

Thanks to Jeremy of @unfinishednotebook.bsky.social who turned me on to this phenomenon, and who graciously sent me one to try.

Sometimes you just want a little guy to help you out with your fountain pens. I'm absolutely charmed by my pen crab.

Hey @jonnysims.bsky.social - If one makes oneself a 1,000+ page #themagnusarchives Tome / companion journal, does it automatically count as a Leitner? 🤣 (More photos in thread)

When a leatherworker and bookbinder needs a new project journal, what does she make?
Something whimsical! A faux half binding. Full leather binding, experimentation with gold foil, and experiments with new dyes.

Hard agree. Best when mixed with the in flight cran-apple they have that comes in a can and I never even think about when on the ground.

I was really, really hoping Drew Brown would land on his feet. It looks like he is!
Oh, well, this is interesting, fountain pen feed: Drew Brown (lately of Goulet, we still like him though) and the folks who took over Retro 51 have acquired Fahrney’s Pens. writesideholdings.com/writeside-ho...

I remember the first time my wife took me to a wolf preserve. She didn't tell me where we were, had me keep my eyes closed when we drove past the entrance. I learned where I was when the first howl grabbed me by the spine and shook me to my core.
This? This did the exact same thing. Well done.

Looking for something special under the tree?
The season has me thinking back to one of my favorite leather #journal cover builds. Hand-carved elephant, stained with coffee, and finished with an all-natural leather balm.
DM for commissions!

I have not seen a single minute of this show, but I 100% back your vibes.
Oh no I just watched the Wheel of Time Season 3 teaser trailer. Oh no. I'm about to go fully feral again, aren't I? I'm going to rewatch the first two seasons. I'm going to get WEIRD. I can feel it coming. Brace yourselves.

Journaling can be many things.
It can be keeping a commitment to yourself.
It can be writing a letter to a permanent friend.
It can be self therapy.
It can be a meditation.
It can also just be a journal.
But it is always a good thing to do, no matter what it is.

All these #diamine #inkvent Marley posts got me feeling Big Humbug Jealous, so I mixed up a dusky purple of my own! #fountainpens #fpsky

Man, I always think, "I don't*need* the #diamine #inkvent calendar. And then I see images like this and I realize I am Wrong™ 🤣
#Inkvent day 8: Marley
There's a lot going on with this ink. It's a nice cool grey that shades from light grey to nearly black. With water it breaks out into a dull purple and a vivid teal. I really like it.
