A little of this and a little of that, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On the power of difference. The transformative potential of trying novel combinations that “shouldn’t work together.” The fabulous lessons to be found in the heterogeneous.
Carrying a little extra in that middle M region
I enter this week with an eclectic six-pen currently inked. Nib size drives my selection. The color, size and weight of each pen were only secondary considerations.
The intention is to explore three distinct kinds of M nibs. A wet and round Jowo M (TWSBI) — the “traditional.” A stingy, disciplined Sailor MF — the “keep it down up there.” And a ground Naginata-togi (Nakaya) — the “Casanova.”
Wahoo! I made it to anniversary two
This week is the second anniversary of the mnmlscholar. This blog is a pathway for sharing how I use my analog and digital tools to find joy in my writing and teaching. My way of choosing joy. It’s a labor of love — and necessity for my workflow.
We are where we’ve been, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On my philosophical wanderings through how our histories shape what we value now. We are where we’ve been. Biography is the journey to what we value now. And we have no choice but to bring our histories with us. Worn on our sleeves, in our heads, and in our selves. (Philosophical much?)
