Trying to figure this place out. I will mostly lurk. Interests include history, writing, reading, books, art, drawing, fountain pens, typewriters, vinyl records, RPGs, sci-fi, fantasy, travel, languages, bicycling, urban/cycling infrastructure.

I’m 19 years old

I use cursive on the daily and I used a film camera and a typewriter (I’m getting a new one) and also encyclopedias too :3

Autocorrect just corrected "assholes" to "assjokes" on my phone... I think I'll lean into that one...

Just bought a DECwriter correspondent portable terminal from goodwill for $9.99 plus shopping!!

I didn’t find one on eBay but I suspect they sell for a lot of money from what I saw for the models of decwriter terminals.

Not going to sell it though!! Who doesn’t want/need a portable terminal?

Um. I have done all of these things, and I still do several of them on the regular? 🤣🤣🤣

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

A GENTLE REMINDER:

Wanting a child born is Pro-Birth.

Wanting a child fed, housed, educated, with parents who earn a living wage is Pro-Life.

I am Pro-Life, in the independent, progressive, democratic socialist sense that guarantees every child's health, safety & welfare :-)}

"Pretend like you’re describing the piece to a friend (or a gallery!) over the phone. What information do they need to hear to understand the image and the context (why you’re posting it)? Alt text builds a bridge over that “perceptual black hole.” Descriptive text fills it."

Super useful guide!
