Went to bed early last night but couldn't fall asleep. Why? I was wondering … what if the ball tip of the new LAMY M17 doesn't deliver the new Jetstream ink properly? The ink should have a different viscosity, what if it doesn't "roll" properly? What keeps you up at night?

So if I post images in Flashes they land in my Bluesky feed directly, right? Might try this at the California Pen Show this weekend. This is my “waiting to board” face.

This visual slayed me from the Apple Music recap. 🫣🤣 An image of all 11 months would have been ideal, but alas, Billy Woods was on top for only five months. Goals for next year!
