This week’s Short Stack is up, and it's about catching up. Catching up after the winter break, some of the critically-acclaimed films of 2025, and our favorite medical drama.

Just the bits that felt worth pocketing before the week slipped away.

The Weekly Short Stack for January 9, 2026

Each week, I pull together a short stack of the things that stood out – something I made, something I read or watched, an experience that left a small but noticeable impression in the week. Not a grand unifying theme, not a comprehensive recap. Just the bits that felt worth pocketing

Jason's Journal
#schondsgn sure makes one heck of a nib with the #monoc. These 4 have been putting in the work this week, inked with the following in order from L-R: Robert Oster Avocado, Diamine Early Dusk, Wearingeul Kyeong-Hee, and Caran d’ache Electric Orange. #FountainPen #FountainPens #anodized #robertosterink #diamine #Wearingeul #carandache

i've (basically) #JustEmptied my #SchonDSGN Pocket6 <M Monac> #FountainPen in Ultem. It had #Pelikan Edelstein Golden Lapis.

I love how the ink and pen work together so I'm planning to ink it right back up with more Golden Lapis.

I #JustEmptied my #SchonDSGN Pocket 6 in ultem. I've got the Medium Monac nib on it, and boy is it a juicy nib. It was inked up with Diamine Polar Glow and would often put out so much ink that my 5mm ruled journal was too small. College ruled paper is barely big enough. Next time I ink it up, I'll try a drier ink, maybe an Akkerman? #FountainPen
Nice things do be expensive

Splurged on a #fountainpen finer than my penmanship! #SchonDSGN faceted brass “Pocket Six” with a Fine #Monoc nib.

Super-smooth. Super happy. Super-light wallet for a bit, though.
