Behold the quintessence of mechanical writing technology: the Hermes 3000 manual typewriter.

The fight against toxic Anti-Wokeness is fraught, subtle, uncertain, and hazardous. Yet it is also virtuous, hopeful, redemptive, and existentially vital not only to millions of Americans, but also to the moral health of America itself.

My pleasure. Once you get the feel of fountain pens, there’s no going back!

Yes Pilot’s Iroshizuku inks are absolutely beautiful. They are designed and named after colors in nature.

Hey Doomscrollers. I have a radical, old-school coping strategy for these turbulent times: Cursive Handwriting! Studies show that cursive handwriting enhances brain function, memory/retention, and is soothingly therapeutic.

I'm thinking of coming up with a system. Anyone interested?

Sometimes you need to focus on the small victories…like successfully fixing the hopeless clogs in your favorite fountain pen. Because good words are essential to any successful defense against injustice.

The Manchurian Candidate is now playing on Amazon Prime. Terrifyingly prescient and relevant. I’m surprised Bezos allowed this on his site!

I love my local post office. I’ll mourn the day when Trump shuts it down and turns it into an Amazon distribution center. And when Jeff Bezos then charges us $1.50 to mail a letter.
