@tsutrav.indieweb.social.ap.brid.gyI love this story. “Typewriting habituates you to do your best, which is the opposite of what goes on with electronic devices…” It is all so true. Analog has its place within creative efforts. h/t @cookiesinheaven @ChrisMayLA6 #typewriters #analog

@mjrichards.bsky.socialToday is the day in the semester that I break out the entire class set of #typewriters and set them up in the student lounge and get students writing round-robin stories on them. I will be wearing my dress with typewriter key caps on it, and photos of the event will be forthcoming later!

@adamjwhitlatch.bsky.socialMy editor calls them typos, but I call them creative word choices.

@mjrichards.bsky.socialSpent half the day working on #typewriters. Three swings, three misses. I know exactly what’s wrong with each one of these machines, but in each case, I can’t seem to figure out the fix. My mechanical abilities are limited, and YouTube only takes me so far.

A 1940s Champion, original case: $12.
It joins my analog Leicas, Nikons, Rolleiflexes and manual-wind watches. I’ve loved mechanical things since my teens—not because they’re old or easier. They ask something of you.
