Bluesky won't let me DM a photo to @drmlharris.bsky.social so I'll just show everyone.

This is the bathtub they book out of my upstairs neighbor's apartment a couple weeks ago.

Gee, I wonder why that was leaking.

I've been liking Design Works Ink Standard Issue No. 4 Project Notebook, for being beautifully designed, reasonably durable, and 280 pages, which these days is lasting me 6-8 months.

Hey, XPhiles? Did we really never catch this?

Anyway, here's a sample of my real handwriting. It doesn't look like what people seem to mean when they talk about "neurodivergent" handwriting, but...this is a real, actual autistic person's handwriting!

It's this! The metal strip is 3" long and 1/4" wide, with two little holes drilled about 1/4" in on either end!
