So many missed opportunities on defense. These guys need to learn to finish plays. And get healthy.
Offense is a huge disappointment. Fields is playing well below that high floor we thought he had when he was drafted. Leave it to be Bears to ruin another QB.
I don’t want to see a WR screen ever again.
I can type pretty fast on a full keyboard, so for me writing is slower. But because it is slower, I find it can be more thoughtful. About two years ago I started making an effort to hand write notes to help me think, learn, and remember things.
Pen and paper are also pretty great. You can take them anywhere. They don’t require electricity or a battery. They are small and lightweight. You can use them on a hike. You can use them if the power goes out. The format will never become unsupported.
Those look neat. You can use glass and metal nibs in them!
Moore and Herbert have some speed!
Pass was a little behind if we’re being honest, but this is what good skill players can do! JF1 doesn’t have to be flawless. I’m pumped.
That looks like a nice reliable blue.
I primarily use document inks for addressing envelopes, which can be infrequent. To avoid clogging a pen, I’ve been considering getting a dip pen like the Pilot Iro-Utsushi. It’s still a metal nib, as opposed to a glass pen, and more for everyday writing than a calligraphy nib.

I’ll be using a burgundy Pilot e95s with Diplomat Burgundy ink for work notes.
Looks lovely! I enjoyed looking at the writing sample. Your ink really helps show off the line variation. I like how the loops in your b, h, and l letters look!
What are you quoting? That language does not appear in any parent comment or the linked Wikipedia article.
I agree that looks to be a Metropolitan. Great pens!
As @techwizrd@programming.dev said, you won’t be able to see the ink level. When your line starts get get darker, thinner, and the pen starts to skip, it’s time to refill. Or if the pen has been sitting for a while, maybe a quick cleaning.
My favorite notebook is the JetPens Kanso Noto. They have 160 sheets (320 pages) of Tomoe River paper with a 5mm dot grid. Tomoe River paper is a premium fountain pen friendly paper that should solve your feathering problems.

JetPens offers free shipping in the US for order of $35 or more. I don’t know what options are available outside of the US.
The notebook is currently out of stock. I expect more to be back soon. Tomoe River paper was sold from one paper company to another. I think JetPens just cleared out their stock with paper from the original company and I anticipate they’ll bring the notebook back soon with paper from the new company (Sanzen). In the past, the notebooks sold for $19.50, which is a great price for a premium paper notebook (seriously, I think only the Nanami Seven Seas notebooks have a better price per page for premium paper) . However, to keep the price low, the notebook doesn’t have bells and whistles like an elastic closure or page marker ribbons.
I think Poles gets more time. He took over a team in free fall and saw it crash into the ground. It’ll take more than one off-season to build a competitive team. I like what Poles has done with draft capital. Claypool is a big mark against him. On paper it was a good move. At the time, I recall a lot of excitement, further fueled by talk that GB was after him.
I don’t know about Flus. Maybe one positive thing I can say about him is I believe the defense has been playing a little better since he took over. I thought the rule used to be that coaches got three years. (Trustman was a fairly recent counterexample).
I agree regarding Fields. It was unfortunate the circumstances he’s found himself in, but I think good quarterbacks would find more ways to have success. He’s going to have to play great the rest of the season too stay in Chicago. I’d love to see it, but I’m not very hopeful.
