A pen quote of Scott Adams that reads:

“Remember, there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”

Written using Diamine Noel & Tom’s Studio Marianas & Deep Black inks using our Tom’s Studio Fountain pens.

He's kind and helpful to the sick,
And never spreads a nasty rumor,
He doesn't get on people's wick,
And never laughs at toilet humor.

Blackadder, Blackadder, he's sickeningly good,
Blackadder, Blackadder, as nice as Christmas pud!

#FountainPen #cursive

The same text as the post, written in cursive on lined paper using green fountain ink for the first stanza and red for the second. Little drawing of holly berries at the bottom.

@nina_kali_nina by the way ...

the work that went into joining lowercase characters in Script font was INSANE

The curriculum had this until nearly 1990 at which point "cursive joining" was less of a mandatory thing … actually on second thoughts there's a few differences, because we had a "p" that looked like an "h" so to allow the carryon line to join. And their "h" and "l" have loops in it.

But the 'w' and 'u' and 'v' — the real head-busters when you saw them all joined together — those look EXACTLY the same as what we did. If you know what to look for, there's a minimal viable difference: I typed fffsmnwuvvv

A page full of examples of the 'Script' font in early Microsoft Windows, showing all the dynamic joining examples, ending with a particularly tricky mess to interpret, of 'w', 'u' and 'v' in combination

You hope I brought what now? 🤨

(I don't recall in which US store I took this picture, but it was in Sep. 2023)

Closeup of a light brown coir doormat on a white store shelf. Black cursive writing on the mat reads "I hope you brought wine" but from an angle, the last word could read "urine".

I'm just realizing that #handwriting is can actually be fun. Maybe it's just pushback against digital-everything the there, but the slower speed is actually a feature.

It's time to brush up on my #cursive, haven't done that in a long time!
