Wrote a silly little essay about owning a typewriter.

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

@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

emilynhoward 2 months ago

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!

There are two types of people: those that put zero thought into whatever drinking vessel chances into their life, and those who are incapable of feeling the warm, comforting surrender of contentment (I assume that's what it feels like)

congrats on the house! i know you say you don't like double walled bottles but out of all the bottles i've had (and ive had a lot) i've enjoyed Hydroflasks a lot because they can keep my water at a cool temp in 100+ F weather

I also bought a house earlier this year and have only recently stopped obsessively checking my mortgage account all the time for no reason, as if the more I check the faster it's going to go away.

How do you still use the dumbphone you listed? Do you live in a place where 3g isn't phased out yet? If so consider yourself lucky haha.

changed the GREAT BOOKS LIST to the BALCKWELL CANON. implemented a THREE-TIERED SYSTEM which makes it more clear why certain books are on the list -- generally made it a bit more personal and hopefully more interesting... but in the end, it is just a big list of books

new feature: AUTHOR OVERVIEWS, in which i write a little about each of an author's books (that i've read), trying to find connections and generally outline the trajectory of their writings. starting with one of my favourites, NATSUME SOSEKI. this will likely be continually updated as i read more of this works.

i'm curious how you'll feel about sanshiro when you get to it. imo it has some of the best atmosphere of his books. after i read it, i realized this was where a lot of modern japanese media's imagination of turn-of-the-century japan came from
