Luke DornyOh, my, these Olivetti Valentine typewriters…
Jason Santa Maria@Luke I’ve always wanted to get one of those!
@jasonsantamaria You can now at retrospekt!
@Luke That may be a good price for being in such good shape... but also more than I want to spend on something I will probably let gather dust after a few weeks 😂
@jasonsantamaria true.
…until power and internet go down and we start sending thoughtful letters to eachother just to check in …delivered via horseback?
I suppose that’s an entirely different set of concerns. 😬
Brian Warren@Luke @jasonsantamaria So you’re saying I need a typewriter *and* a horse.
@jasonsantamaria @bw Ha! That’s true, too!
Let’s remember that pen and pencil are chaotic and unreliable now that we’ve used computer keyboards for fifty years.

@jasonsantamaria @bw it’s not like when I was a drafting school. That much is for true.
@jasonsantamaria @bw perhaps now is a good time to make my own handwriting typeface. 🧐
Theo Rosendorf@jasonsantamaria @Luke @bw I've been taking longhand notes for some months. It was painful at first. But I retain more ideas, easily over double. Something in the inconvenience of it?
I'm eying that typewriter. Bet it's inconvenient AF, I must have it!
@Luke @jasonsantamaria @bw Here's a cool little typewriter display: https://youtu.be/CJqYPVOb2Ss?si=XZ9TJYJkJzrwgUQw

@theo @jasonsantamaria @bw @mwichary I fought so hard to not let myself buy this. I did back it though. 🙌❤️
