refilling the pens also doesn't seem like such a difficult task after having opened them up, as long as i can find good water-based pen inks here i should be able to saturate the felt in them and flush out the ballpoint, then hopefully they'll work like new!

okay! managed to make some time to mess with it, and
- think the pens aren't completely dry but rather dried out. been soaking them inside and out with some alcohol and look how great that blue came out!
- definitely will have to replace some nylon gears; losing steps frequently

the models i have as of today are:
- Canon Typestar 10-II, thermal printing head, sadly a later cost-cut model that's not too exciting but works perfectly
- Panasonic Penwriter P400C, pen plotter head, serial interface, very exciting and needs some restoration

i can't believe i now own two different portable electric typewriters with vastly different methods of printing, i blame @AkBKukU@twitter.com's video on this Brother model for making me wanting one in the first place

sadly i gotta go back to work now so i can't play with this right now but gosh i'm excited!

i have a plotter! i can finally be part of !

Panasonic Penwriter P400C, uses ALPS DPG-1302 plotter mechanism. keyboard needs repairs, original pens mostly dried up but the green still works! has RS-232 built-in so can be controlled from modern devices thru serial

“How come I’ve never heard of trans until now?” He asks as the ink dries on a bill he ran that would paint affirming parents of trans kids as child abusers and allow the state to take the kid away and torture them until they act cis.

"live and let live" works as a personal policy, not as a community one, especially if it doesn't enforce accountability

of course i don't expect this from every single person randomly following me but if we're *mutuals* and you have a *reason* you're not able to follow my work the same way to publicly follow the work of much more famous people than me, i'd like to know what i'm doing wrong

i'm fully aware this kind of "neediness" is what made my exes & ex-friends perpetuate a gaslight abt me being an abuser but i don't think it's unreasonable to have abandonment issues to a breaking point when uwu good vibes people keep fake-preaching "it's ok to need attention"

i'm just going to delete all these tweets in the morning anyway as usual whenever i have a very real and sensible breakdown anyway because i need to keep up the ~*~status quo~*~ so who gives a shit.
