i was a fool

honestly my top 5 pens are probably
1. uniball vision, either 1.0mm or .38mm
2. uniball zento body w/ uniball one .7mm refill
3. zebra sharbo x lt3 w/ zebra 4c refills and uni .3mm b lead
4. hmm aluminum ballpoint w/ parker .7mm gel refill
5. kaweco liliput stainless steel fountain pen

even though i have 4 zebra sharbos i still have a soft spot for uniball visions

i dunno why the tiny drafting erasers are still around in 2025 when we can have twist erasers or ones like this

the metal index tabs are actually very nice and i've also come to the conclusion that zebra 4c refills are the best d1 ballpoint refills. they work consistently every time with no start up, almost every other ballpoint refill i've tried needs some scribbling to get going.

it’s so easy to poorly justify text that i think most people should just never attempt it unless they’re a designer who knows what they’re doing

i know technically you can do this on the web but practically no one ever does and for good reason

i just want to live a mediocre life where i get by doing what i know best. i don't want to sell my soul making the world worse just so a corporation can increase their bottom line in a world full of inequality

you are in constant competition with other people and if you aren't doing more than them then its a personal failure. you must lie, cheat, and manipulate other people to get whatever scraps are left

like wtf

kinda grim how capitalism is slowly killing all the free over the air stuff

slowly making my way up the ladder

gonna sleep so good
