I worried that I would end up sounding like a woman when I started regularly speaking Japanese -- in the end, I don't think I sound like anything at all... Proust is definitely not a long tweet, but if you don't like those first few pages, you're not going to like the rest of it. I was hooked around two pages in; one of those cases where the aspects I like the most are exactly the parts others find obnoxious.

I added some extracts from my journals. I don't know how you'll feel about it, but this is my favorite page that I've uploaded in a long time.

Thanks for this, Соня. I'm really glad you've been posting more. A breath of fresh air in the more-or-less homogenous and unconditional anti-AI-ism on Neocities.

thank you! your praise means a lot for me. as for the anti-AIsm on neocities — actually, most people with the no AI banners on neocities simply don't want to see websites with AI-generated content, and that's 100% understandable. most of the opinions I discuss in this post I found not on neocities, but in other parts of the internet

Good blog! I have one of the anti-ai banners on my site. IMO, this is like nuclear energy, you can use it to make bombs (replacing people, slop content, etc.) or to give energy to everyone (medical/scientific uses, more efficient google, etc.), the good parts need to grow and the bad parts to get less bad!

i always love reading your blogs; your improvement is truly amazing and reading about it made my day a bit brighter :) working with rather than against myself was something i had to learn after my adhd diagnosis too

I can relate; I was well into adulthood when I self-diagnosed. The avoidance tactics are real and I definitely need those rails in place for my off-days!

yay I'm happy for you! I'm also checking if I have autism and adhd and I feel it's very likely. I think I need to know if there's anything special with what you're doing in obsidian, because I found out about this app 2 years ago and it does not work

oops it cut off my comment! > I may just be too distracted with other evil things being shoved into my face that I can't hold this habit. I find it relatable how I need to write every tiny task down.

@heart143 it actually wasnt my first time trying obsidian, I already tried it several years ago and it didnt click back then. i think i'll write in microblog later what was different this time and describe my system in more detail

You ought to have written it on a typewriter and posted pictures of the pages. And then typed it all out again on the computer for the alt text.

@Skep you act as if this idea had not crossed my mind. But I don't hate myself quiiiiite that much.

thanks for this essay, i know you said you don’t romanticise the typewriter yet it’s still so cozy to think about drafting at that pace. bouncing ball imagery makes me think of pianists, i’m sure an obvious comparison — they way they strike the keys so purposefully and precisely

ooh I've been pondering getting a typewriter recently, a decent one has popped up for sale near me. this isn't helping dissaude me 👀

@sorbier I was thinking about including the piano as a comparison because I imagine the mechanics are very similar to a typewriter. But I've never played piano so I didn't know if the feel would be similar.

@ghostscape I feel like I have been forthcoming as possible about how much of a pain in the butt typewriters are, so if this didn't dissuade you, nothing will.

i am really curious about it as a physical experience (among other things). i used to play piano and i assume i'll be needing to rebuild those finger muscles

You'll probably have a head start because you used to play piano, but yes, finger strength is definitely necessary!
This was fascinating. I understand to some extent the forearm pain. Using braille input on a normal qwerty keyboard involves pushing multiple keys down at the same time in a sort of rhythm and I get pain after doing it for awhile. A Perkins brailler is much like a typewriter in design - I've never used one but it's a fascinating piece of machinery if you want to look up about it.

@pixelglade Wow, that's so interesting. My workplace has a braille printer, but I had no idea that a typewriter for braille existed!
