Archbishop Viganò to President Trump: Beware the "Deep Church" as Well as the "Deep State"
On the 76th anniversary of the Allies' D-Day invasion during World War II (June 6, 1944), Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has published an open letter (full text below) to U.S. President Donald Trump, one of encouragement and exhortation, in which the former apostolic nuncio offers extraordinary insights into present circumstances — indeed, this letter constitutes an act of spiritual warfare "against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity".
"In recent months," His Excellency begins, "we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness [cf. 1 Thess. 5:5]. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority."
"These two sides," he continues, "which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent," referring to the divine pronouncement found in Genesis 3:15 (Latin Vulgate): "I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel."
Archbishop Viganò's language of "two sides" and "separation" into opposing camps is also reminiscent of St. Louis de Montfort's classic work True Devotion to Mary, in which the French priest and veritable Apostle of Our Lady (1673-1716) explains:
"God has not only set an enmity, but enmities, not only between Mary and the devil, but between the race of the holy Virgin and the race of the devil; that is to say, God has set enmities, antipathies and secret hatreds between the true children and servants of Mary and the children and slaves of the devil. …
But the power of Mary over all the devils will especially shine forth in the latter times, when Satan will lay his snares against her heel; that is to say, her humble slaves and her poor children, whom she will raise up to make war against him." (Emphasis added)
St. Louis De Montfort (trans. Fr. Frederick Faber), True Devotion to Mary (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1985), pp. 31-32 (n. 54).
Concerning the rioting, looting, violence, and other lawless acts committed throughout the United States in recent days following the killing of George Floyd (see here for further discussion), His Excellency tells President Trump that
"the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the [COVID-19] virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. … It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction."
Perhaps his most powerful words of wisdom, however, are these: "just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God. Thus the Invisible Enemy, whom good rulers fight against in public affairs, is also fought against by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere." As such, His Excellency expresses solidarity with President Trump, saying, "I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons."
With a closing assurance of prayer "for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States," Archbishop Viganò warmly extends his blessing to President and First Lady Trump, as well as to "the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will."
Catholic Family News stands with Archbishop Viganò and applauds his extraordinary letter to President Trump (available here as a PDF). We join our friends and allies at LifeSiteNews and The Remnant, as well as Marco Tosatti, in helping to circulate it.

Holy Trinity Sunday
In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.
These two sides, which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent. On the one hand there are those who, although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses, are motivated by the desire to do good, to be honest, to raise a family, to engage in work, to give prosperity to their homeland, to help the needy, and, in obedience to the Law of God, to merit the Kingdom of Heaven. On the other hand, there are those who serve themselves, who do not hold any moral principles, who want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy, foment internal divisions and wars, and accumulate power and money: for them the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day – if they do not repent – yield to the terrible fate that awaits them, far from God, in eternal damnation.
In society, Mr. President, these two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies. And it appears that the children of darkness – whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days – have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans. They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions. The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency not only in the area of health care but also in politics, the economy, and the media. We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.
We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony. It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches.
Although it may seem disconcerting, the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles. There are faithful Shepherds who care for the flock of Christ, but there are also mercenary infidels who seek to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves. It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness and hate the children of light: just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God. Thus the Invisible Enemy, whom good rulers fight against in public affairs, is also fought against by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere. It is a spiritual battle, which I spoke about in my recent Appeal which was published on May 8.
For the first time, the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship. Your participation in the March for Life, and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on. And I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons.
For this reason, I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions; not to bring justice, but to legitimize violence and crime; not to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction. And it is disconcerting that there are Bishops – such as those whom I recently denounced – who, by their words, prove that they are aligned on the opposing side. They are subservient to the deep state, to globalism, to aligned thought, to the New World Order which they invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood which has nothing Christian about it, but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those who want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of schools, out of families, and perhaps even out of churches.
The American people are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters. However, it is important that the good – who are the majority – wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes. It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard. What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States, and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy? Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is: an infernal deception.
Mr. President, my prayer is constantly turned to the beloved American nation, where I had the privilege and honor of being sent by Pope Benedict XVI as Apostolic Nuncio. In this dramatic and decisive hour for all of humanity, I am praying for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States. I trust that the American people are united with me and you in prayer to Almighty God.
United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity, I bless you and the First Lady, the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will.

1st - 5th Edition
Amber Bracken: Wasicu and the Eagles
Project Statement:
Wasicu means a non-Lakota person but is also used colloquially for someone who is greedy, who takes more than they need for themselves. The plight of the the eagles, like that of the Lakota peoples, was created by colonization but is often blamed on the victims rather than the perpetrators. Eagles are deeply important to the spiritual teachings in their culture and the animals harassment and control within a colonial system is a powerful metaphor for the ongoing oppression of Lakota people.
This body of work examines the cultural significance of the eagle in Lakota culture and the modern and historical pressures that have threatened wild populations. In April 2017 the U.S. Department of Justice announced it had indicted 15 defendants, many who were Lakota from the Pine Ridge Reservation, the poorest county in the United States. Called Project Dakota Flyer, the sting operation by the Fish and Wildlife Service is the latest in a string of investigations into the black market for eagle feathers and parts that has fanned out across North America and beyond.
Golden eagles, number only 40,000 in the wild. After decades of population management and banning DDT, wild bald eagles are thriving, with a population of 140,000 in 2016. The greatest stresses on eagle populations are habitat threat, wind turbines, power lines and poisoning from lead bullets. While illegal hunting does exacerbate modern pressures for eagles, Native Americans have harvested feathers, bones and other parts for thousands of years without impairing the wild population.
Artist Bio:
Amber's interest is in the intersection of photography, journalism and public service with a special focus on issues affecting Indigenous people. With the rise of movements like Idle No More, communities are increasingly empowered to fight for a more just relationship with the government and non-native people. She is looking for ways to represent and foster that strength while documenting issues around culture, environment and the effects of inter generational trauma from colonialism.

Off White X Nike 'The TEN' begins
Off-White's Virgil Alavo is from Chicago, where Michael Jordan was a player. Naturally, he spent the nineties in the street culture of sneakers, hip-hop, and graffiti, and said that his cultural experience at that time had made him and off-white. To him, Michael Jordan was an idol, and Nike was a source of good inspiration. It was in December last year that Virgil Avelo made his first step to Nike's headquarters, also known as Nike Campus or Nike World Head Quarter. He said in an interview. "I was not expecting so many days to do Nike and just 'meeting'." He immediately pulled out an art knife and a few colored markers on the spot and remodeled a black Air Force 1 low. Nike and off-white project 'THE TEN' was the first such.
Is not the hottest potatoes of sneakers and fashion enthusiasts in 2017 a collaboration between these two brands? Nike 's official announcement and some of the SNS channels leaked through the photos are all' true 'was revealed. The name of the capsule collection is 'THE TEN'. Nike 's 10 models that have been modified over the last 10 months is the name attached to the meaning. 10 months is the shortest period in Nike collaboration history.
The 'Ten' collection is based on 10 models representing Nike's three brands 'Nike', 'Jordan' and 'Converse'. 'The Ten' is largely divided into two sets. The names of the sets are 'Revealing' and 'Ghosting' respectively. Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Presto, Nike Air Bayper Max, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 90, And Nike Blazer Mead.
The 'Ghosting' series, which means 'overlap of two wounds', consists of Converse Chuck Taylor, Nike Zoom fly SP, Nike Air Force One Row, Nike React Hyper Dunk 2017 and Nike Air Max 97. All are covered with translucent material on the outer skin.
The first set of 'The Ten' will be released in sequential order from September 9 in New York, September 18 in London, September 21 in Milan, and September 26 in Paris. From November, all 10 models will be released through Nike Lab Store and Retail Shop. It's impossible to get all 10 models, but it's the most ambitious collection in Nike collaboration history, so you should get one of those numbers.

Less than two months after Dalian Wanda Group walked away from its ambitions to crush Disney in China's theme park market, the country's biggest developer has revealed a scheme to take on the Magic Kingdom with its own empire of amusement parks.
China Evergrande Group this week announced plans to expand its tourism portfolio to include 15 "Children's World" theme parks across the country over the next two to five years, adding to an existing project in the city of Changsha.
The statement by the developer controlled by mainland billionaire Xu Jiayin directly challenges the Walt Disney Company by noting that each of its theme parks will feature 33 large-scale rides, compared to the typical Disney project which boasts just 18 to 22 such rides.
Evergrande says its parks are geared to children from two to fifteen years old and will rely on a repertoire of characters and themes from Chinese and Western history to pull in China's amusement-hungry masses. Each park aims to draw 15 to 20 million visitors per year and generate annual revenue of about RMB 20 billion ($3 billion) from tourism-related services. The statement provides no details about where the upcoming parks will be located, and Evergrande did not respond to multiple inquiries by Mingtiandi by the time of publication.
Evergrande has already announced its first Children's World park in the Hunan provincial capital of Changsha this past January. At the time, the developer was said to be planning similar parks in Guizhou's provincial capital of Guiyang, the city of Kaifeng in Henan, two more in Jiangsu province near Shanghai, and an Ocean Park in Jiangsu's Qidong, according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
A company filing to the Hong Kong exchange in March revealed that Evergrande had two "Fairytale Land" projects under construction, one in the island province of Hainan, where the company is building a 7.18 million square metre artificial island with 28 commercial attractions. The other Fairytale Land was reported to be under construction in the city of Qidong in Jiangsu province, opposite the Yangtze River from Shanghai.
Evergrande's Qidong theme park forms part of a 3.42 million square metre project that also includes a large-scale housing complex. With real estate markets lagging in many third-tier markets, China's smaller cities have become eager for commercial projects that can help them to sell land and build taxable commercial bases. Developers such as Evergrande, and earlier Dalian Wanda, have in some cases been able to secure residential land at attractive discounts by agreeing to develop theme parks, medical centres or other potential magnet projects.
Wanda, China's largest commercial property developer, once boasted that its planned theme parks would outsell the $5.5 billion Disney Shanghai Resort that opened its doors in June of last year. But the property-and-entertainment conglomerate headed by Wang Jianlin dropped its amusement park dreams last month, selling a 91 percent stake in its 13 project portfolio of "cultural tourism" properties to Tianjin-based developer China Sunac for RMB 43.8 billion ($6.5 billion).
As part of the same deal, Wanda sold 77 hotels to Guangzhou's R&F Properties, in a transaction intended to reduce leverage amid scrutiny from Chinese regulators. Two of Wanda's tourism parks – in Xishuangbanna in Yunnan province and Hefei in Anhui province – have opened their doors while a third, the Wuhan Wanda Movie Park, was shuttered for renovations after struggling to attract visitors, nineteen months after opening in 2014.
Evergrande reported a first-half profit rise of 832 percent to RMB 18.8 billion, amid higher sales volume and selling prices for its properties. Focused on residential projects, Evergrande was China's biggest developer by sales in 2016.


Bonjour! There is so much history, culture and beauty to discover in Quebec City. The highlight of the city is old Quebec, which is a maze of whimiscal shops, cafes, restaurants and murals tucked amongst cobblestone steps and century old buildings. Its most famous building is Chateau Frontenac, a grand hotel overlooking the st. Lawrence river. Cruises along the river are also available.
View of the St. Lawrence taken from the Promenade of Governers' in old Quebec.
Le Chateau Frontenac. Parts of the hotel are currently under renovation.
A mural located in old Quebec.
Surrounding old Quebec is the parliament buildings, the orignal fortress of the city (known as the citadel, I believe) and the Plains of Abraham, where many historical battles occurred. There is also a reolving restaurant, L'Astral, located at the Concorde hotel which provides a panoramic view of the city. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for a full revolution. It's an expensive place but here's a tip: order drinks/desserts instead and let it be known that this is your intention before sitting down.

For the foodies, there's so many delicious places to explore. Near the VIA train station is a farmer's market and along Rue Saint Jean is Moisan, a specialty grocery store founded in 1871. My favourite food place was an incuspicous takeout joint that specialized in Lebanese galettes called La Galette Libanaise. Galettes are a circular bread type food item. At La Galette Libanaise, the dough is flattened in front of you and then baked, which only takes a few minutes. The galettes are accompanied with your choice of chicken, lamb, minced beef, cheese, veggies (lettuce, pickled onions, cucumbers, hot peppers and olives) and two sauces: a spicy one and a garlic one. Bon appetit!
Since 1871, Moisan is a specialty grocery store.
La Galette Libanaise with meat and cheese, $6.95.
Kartoffel-knödel are German style potato dumplings. They are an ideal side dish and can easily replace rice or pasta in a meal. Their texture is chewy and sticky and their taste is rather similar to mash potatoes.
A box of knodel, ~$5 (CAD).
The ones pictured above are an instant version and simple to prepare. Being from Canada, they are not readily available here but I found some at a local specialty store called Vincenzos. Each box is approximately $5 (CAD) and contain six knödel.
This is how the knodel appear before cooking.

Nearly a year after the oil disaster began, Gulf Coast residents are sick and dying from BP's toxic chemicals.
Florida Times Union reports that over the past two months, hundreds of Eastern brown pelicans have washed ashore along Florida's northeast coast. The North Carolina University (Wilmington) Seahawk newspaper reports that an "unprecedented" number has washed ashore in North Carolina.
People on the north coast of Labrador say scores of dead seals have been washing ashore since early December. A conservation officer with the area's Inuit government estimated late last week that hundreds of adult and young seals have died in the area between Hopedale and Makkovik this winter.
This is the first of many videos that we will be releasing from Project Gulf Impact's conference at Seattle University. I choose to release this video first because of the personal impact it had on myself. This is an American citizen whose son has been poisoned by a FOREIGN Company!
Researchers testing the waters off Louisiana in June found hugely elevated levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, some of which are known carcinogens. The researchers from Oregon State University say that a device taking samples just off the shore of Louisiana's Grande Isle registered a 40-fold increase in PAHs between May and June.
Despite repeated assurances from federal officials and President Obama, independent scientists and public health experts have serious concerns about the long-term safety of Gulf seafood consumption.
Shirley Tillman logged what she and her husband saw while working for BP in the Gulf cleanup. They took hundreds of photos. The Tillmans confirm, both with what they logged in writing as well as in photos, what Truthout has reported before: BP has hired out-of-state contractors to use unregistered boats, usually of the Carolina Skiff variety, to spray toxic Corexit dispersants on oil located by VOO workers, writes Dahr Jamail.
Some people questioned the credibility of bloggers who ran the story and the chemist who reported "BP mercenaries in fatigues were spraying dispersants from Carolina Skiffs" as part of black ops to coverup the BP Gulf Oil Spill. New photographs reveal the truth after all.
I previously ran a few stories about an independent chemist being harassed by BP Thugs. Washington's Blog followed up and confirmed the chemist's statement who stated that BP Mercenaries wearing camouflage fatigues were spraying Corexit.
There has been a spate of articles recently throughout the MSM and alternative media depicting the methane gas predicament associated with the BP Gulf Oil Spill. Many of these perspectives portray an alarming state of affairs concerning extremely high concentrations of methane that have accumulated in numerous areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The two primary issues of concern are the methane effects in the aquatic environment and the methane gas accumulations in the atmosphere above the Gulf and within contiguous land masses. In regard to the latter, the weather patterns will reign supreme. Once methane rises above the surface of the Gulf, where it goes, how it accumulates and what its toxic effects on life will be, is going to be dictated to a great extent by the weather.
Is BP Hiding Seriously Ill Clean-Up Workers?

YEAR 4 IS FUN – COME AND JOIN IN!


These days I almost exclusively write with black ink in some form. Right now my favorite pen is the Pilot Hi-techpoint V5 Grip pen (a Fine Roller Ball Pen with black ink). The metal nib seams to hold up for the pressure I put on it daily. I've written with the same pen all summer and it still works! Pen testing (for me) needs to go on for some time before you can give a true testimonial and judgment of the pens long-term qualities.
I have tired of the Pilot G-tec-c that used to be my favorite. It has the thinest nib ever and when you write with it it feels great, but it does not hold up in the long run. The nib keeps breaking before the ink runs out and it drives me crazy that I have to through away a half full pen over and over again. It is too costly to be a staple good in the house, so when one pen breaks I try to keep writing with it but the nib gets stuck in the paper, I get irritated, the ink pools and smears – and I though it in the trash with a sigh.
In my last order from Amazon I bought a pack of two Sharpie Fine Point Pens that I really enjoyed writing with – for a week. Then the nib got pushed in and the fun was out of the pens. Maybe I have too much pressure on the pens, but I think they should last more than two weeks for daily writing!
Have you found your own best match yet, when it comes to pens and notebooks?
This entry was posted in Draw & doodle, On writing and tagged daily creating, diary writing, ink, journaling, pens, product testing. Bookmark the permalink.
For notebooks I will use nothing other than a large Moleskine sketchbook. The price is a little high, but for the page thickness and quality along with the lovely cover itself makes it worth it. Plus, since I don't journal as often as I should, I don't go through as many journals as I should either so that saves on the cost for me.
For pens, right now I am using a Sharpie pen. Although it's the best I've used so far, it is not the pen of my dreams. I have no problem with the nibs, generally it's the writing on different textures that it gives me issues with. So I will keep using the Sharpie pen until something better comes along that suits me better. Maybe I will try the pen you were raving about in this entry.
The Sharpie fine point is my favourite so far. But you do have to be gentle with it. My first one's tip got hurt in the process but I'm on my 3rd one now and it works fine for daily writing/drawing.
I absolutely love those pilots! But I use the vball grip 0,7 and I've used them for at least four years. It was love at first sight and I never looked back. And they work great in moleskines too!
It's almost boring, I've found the perfect pens and the perfect notebooks, the search is over.
I alway buy a recycled Strathmore sketchpad. They're cheap and environmentally friendly so I don't get that guilty nervous freeze where I can't bring myself to mark up a nicer notebook. I usually use pencil on that, or plain old ball point pen. For poetry though, nothing beats typing. I can type a lot faster than write, and I can almost keep up with my thoughts when I pour them into my word processor, plus it's so very easy to edit. Your pen looks luscious though. Have fun with it!
I am always trying new notebooks/journals, as I'm a paper addict. I do love Moleskins for their quality paper, which holds up well to various mediums. As for pens, I am a huge fan of the Sharpie pens. I haven't had a problem with the point breaking but I do recognize that they don't write well over layers of mediums and I do have to push on them harder.
That was my comment above. I accidentally hit enter before I had a chance to fill out my info.
you cleared up a mystery for me about the sharpie pens. I didn't realize the nibs were getting pushed inside I thought I was wearing them down to nothing! And it happens so quickly (2-3 weeks of daily writing and a bit of sketching) I was wondering why they didn't produce longer lasting nibs. But now I see they are inferior rather than merely disappointing. I use picadilly press spiral bound notebooks for my writing journals. I detest trying to fit my thoughts and handwriting into a smaller more precious sort of journal. The paper is quite smooth and I would love the sharpies for this task if only they lasted longer! My husband has a horrible habit of "acquiring" my writing instruments so I do not like to get attached to very expensive pens in case they migrate to his work room rather than mine. All my gel pens and other art journaling writing stuff is HIDDEN so he cannot get them.
I am smitten with the uni-ball gel impact pen (the 1.0 mm size). The ink is shiny and blakc. The line is smooth, fluid, and inky. I use it primarily for writing in my private notebook journal (a cheapy spiral bound notebook they sell for schoolkids). My thoughts are quick and this pen keeps up with them. Writing with this pen, my letters are loopier and freer and it loosens up my thoughts as well. I do love my pen!
I just found a new-to-me pen from Sharpie, they call it the Sharpie Pen, and it's like the ultra-fine-point marker but intended for writing, I guess. I haven't used it enough to decide if I'm in love, but I do like the idea of a Sharpie that writes this thin. I'm pretty gentle with my writing pens, so hopefully I won't wear out the nib. If I'm writing a lot, like on plain paper, I just use a cheap ball point pen, but if I'm writing on some kind of art project, I usually use Sharpies so far, but would prefer something that writes more like the cheap ball point pens I love (but on paint, shiny paper, plastic, etc) so I'm starting to understand why so many artists are always searching for the perfect pen.
i am looking for the perfect pen that writes smoothly on oil pastels and watercolor crayon? like you, hanna, i may be a bit too hard on the pens since it seems i go through so many!!!
I loved sharpies until I started trying to write on top of Neocolors, Acrylic paint and gel medium. It would ruin them in one sitting. Now I adore Staedtler Lumocolor permanent markers which write on ANYTHING and never dry out. I have yet to run one out either.
For paper I like hotpress 140# watercolor paper and make my own notebooks from that. I haven't found a bound book with hotpress yet but I would enjoy the neatness of it since my own books are umm… rustic at best.
I'm enjoying this blog, thanks for writing!
I've been writing with the same fountain pen for about 15 years now. It's a black Parker falcon my aunt gave to me when I was a teenager. She didn't like fountain pen. It is amazing and it never dries up. I use cartridges, usually black or blue. I found that it's cheaper in the long run to use cartridges than to buy new pens. It's simple yet beautiful and it's my writing companion.
Just found this blog, and I love it!
With notebooks, I tend to go back and forth between the large Moleskine, a medium Ciak (shorter but fatter, and better paper), a small Miquelrius flexible notebook and my most expensive (but worth it) notebooks so far; the smaller sized Adam's journal.
That one does have lines, unfortunately, but I find I can ignore them while drawing.
As for pens, fountain pen only!
Current favorite; Pilot Prera with an M nib (which is more like an XF in western terms) with Noodler's ink, usually Bulletproof Black.

More of the March 1918 Air War
March 31, 2018 • 94th aero squadron • eddie rickenbacker • james norman hall • luckiest man alive • wwi
Also in March 1918
There is so much going on in aviation history of 1918 that there isn't time to blog about each of the events; we'll have to wrap up March with a summary of things that happened this month that we haven't yet covered.
Captain Hedley, the "Luckiest Man Alive" has gone back up after not - quite - falling to earth. Calling him lucky seems a bit odd as in March 1918 he is shot down (anyway, wouldn't good luck have been not falling out of a plane to begin with?) He liked to claim it was Richthofen who shot him down, but probably his nemesis wasn't actually the Red Baron. Question to consider: would you have gone up in a WWI airplane at all? How about after falling out of one? How about after falling out AND being shot down? What kind of men were these aviators, anyway?
James Norman Hall scores a double victory with the 103rd Aero Squadron on 27 March. To put a double victory in perspective, you have to remember that the top ace of the war scored 80 victories, over a couple of years, so a double victory accomplished in a day what the Red Baron took on average about 20 days to do! Hall's last victory before becoming a POW would come in April, as a shared victory with Eddie Rickenbacker (Rickenbacker's first!) Read much more about Hall in the Vintage Aero Flying Museum Highlight of the Month.
Tsarist Russia, so instrumental in the events that started the war, stops fighting much like a dead soldier stops fighting. The Bolshevik party (the minority party with a talent for media promotion, since the name "Bolsheviks" implies "majority") takes over the government, renaming itself the Communist Party, making Moscow the capital, and redefining world alliances and superpowers for the next seventy years. Peace with Germany is bought in the Brest-Litovsk Treaty with Russian holdings in eastern Europe, which become independent...for a couple decades. Oh, and now the October Revolution officially happened in November, as Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar in February!
American squadrons are gearing up, becoming official, and becoming more American, as victories owe less and less to French and British aircraft, leadership, and training. The 94th (Hat in the Ring) Aero Squadron, the first squadron to be composed entirely of Americans, with a Lafayette Escadrille veteran, Major John Huffer, as commander. begins operational flights in March, and gets its insignia which is still used today for the 94th Fighter Squadron. Eddie Rickenbacker explained the origin of the insignia:
The honor [of being the first American squadron to go into action against the enemy] deserved a distinctive insignia. One of the pilots. Lieutenant Johnny Wentworth, was an architect, and he was asked to design it. We all threw out ideas. Major Huffer, the CO, suggested Uncle Sam's stovepipe hat with the stars and stripes for a hatband. Our flight surgeon, Lieutenant Walters from Pittsburgh, mentioned the old American custom of throwing a hat into the ring as an invitation to battle. And thus one of the world's most famous military insignia, the Hat-in-the-Ring, which became a part of my entire life from then on, was born.

The US administration has criticized the plans of the terrorist movement "Taliban" (banned in Russia) to return executions in Afghanistan as punishment for crimes. This was stated by the official representative of the State Department Ned Price, RIA Novosti reports.
According to him, such actions represent clear gross violations of human rights. Washington is determined to bring to justice those responsible for such violations, Price added.
On September 24, the Associated Press agency, citing the head of the Commission on the execution of punishments, Noureddine Torabi, reported that the Taliban will return the practice of capital punishment and severing limbs used in their first period of rule. However, now women will also be able to participate in the consideration of cases in court, but the Koran will be the main law of Afghanistan. Torabi also claims that the practice of cutting off limbs has a positive effect on safety and has a "deterrent effect".
Earlier, the Taliban militants closed the Ministry of Women's Affairs in Kabul and instead reopened the Ministry of Islamic Recruitment and Orientation, Promotion of the Desirable and Prohibition of the Reprehensible. From 1996 to 2001, the body existed to make repressive and punitive decisions and performed the functions of the"vice police". It was condemned by both the local population and the international community.

I was halfway through writing this post when I remembered that Twitter doubled their character allowance to 280 sometime last year, but there's something so challenging about creating these super short reviews that I decided to keep the 140 (or less) versions in. Also, not going to lie, it meant a much shorter blog post to write up tonight as I'm slowly easing into this daily blogging lark.
All the spookiness of Shirley Jackson with all the class of F Scott Fitzgerald. Hauntingly sophisticated and so, so good.
Did you know that Oreos are vEgAn?!? Supposedly, anyway. Does anyone know if this true?
Proper don't-watch-alone-at-night spooky stuff. Looks at the psychological profiling of different types of criminals and how this can be used to catch them.
On the first listen, I didn't like it. Now I've listened to it on repeat for a week and LOVE it. Proper R&B soul bops. R.E.M. is my fave!
Using this sample instead of Pixi Glow Tonic. My skin is in good condition, so thumbs up! Nice smell too, though a bit chemical-y.
Though I never got into the TV series, this true crime case intrigued me. How does a seemingly 'normal' man become a murderer? Don't even get me started on the owl theory!
The medium was too big and the small is slightly too small, but it beats wrapping her in a bin bag for rainy walkies! Good value too.
And that's it! Special mentions go to Pumpkin Spice lattes, the TV show Reign and Lush's Celestial facial moisturiser – maybe I'll review those next week!
What things are you loving at the moment? As ever, let me know in the comments what you think and whether I should write more like this in the future.

@Amy wow great coverage, thanks for sharing this 6 to 9 steps of AA, I just saw this one though, looking forward watching the previous steps and I'm going to share it with my friends. Very lucky to found this blog site I've been looking for the AA steps on other websites for days. Luckily found it here.

I mentioned in my 2018 DC Pen Show post that I purchased a green nib from Hinze Pen Company to match my Green Ivies pen from 18111. At the time, I thought I was purchasing an anodized nib. Turns out, it's lacquered steel, which explains my experience. At the show, I was warned by a few people that colored nibs tend to experience flaking. Sadly, that warning held true for my nib.
I waited a while to write this update, because I was hoping that I could give you a positive result. At first it seemed as though the flaking was minor, and, if it had stayed like that, I could have lived with it.
With the first and second cleaning (both within the first month), a bit of green flaked off either side of the nib slit on the outer edge of the tines. It was noticeable, but it wasn't really obvious, so I hoped that that would be the end of the flaking, and I'd have a good nib.
However, with the most recent cleaning, I decided to change the color in my pen. I found, as I cleaned it, that the ink was being particularly stubborn. After 10+ minutes of flushing water through it, I decided to pop it in my ultrasonic cleaner.
Last year I wrote about my Stipula Etruria Rainbow Prisma 88 and followed it up with an update. It's one of my favorite pens, so when the Stipula Etruria Prisma 88 Magma was announced, I snapped one up.
Now that my Magma is back in action, I'm writing a comparative review of the two. I couldn't find anything about the Rainbow when it first came out, and there doesn't seem to be anything about the Magma, so hopefully, this will help anyone considering purchasing either of them.
If you know the history behind these two pens in my collection, feel free to skip down to the main review.
I've wanted one of Regalia Writing Labs' Sequel Nibs ever since Ralph shared the first photo of one. Part of my interest was based on the uniqueness of the nib, and part was a desire to support Ralph in his continued nib tinkering and modification. I'm very interested to see where his efforts take him.
Unfortunately, he teased us all for a while before making the nibs available, and then, only at shows. They're still (to the best of my knowledge) only available at shows or via Instagram flash sales.
With one exception, my experiences with fountain pens have been fantastic. Today I'm going to tell you about that exception. Before I do, however, I want you to keep something in mind. I vacillated for weeks between sharing this story and keeping it to myself. I don't want it to read as a smear on Motegrappa. What I want you to take away from this story is the amazing customer service offered by Cary Yeager of Kenro Industries.
I bought my Montegrappa Fortuna Heartwood Pear (FHP) on November 11 at Bertram's Inkwell's yearly trunk show. I'd been eyeing the pen for a while. It's beautiful. Cary had one at his table with the nib size I wanted, so I bought it. And so began the FHP saga.
