I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

Given time, all religions, sects, cults, political parties, fandoms, book clubs, etc. become violent to outsiders.

I like to follow accounts but immediately mute for a random amount of time. It becomes an ever giving surprise when these show up in my timeline a few days, weeks, or month later.

Received a phishing text purportedly from alberta registries that I need to pay a ticket yadda.

Responded with the classic goatse image.

Sometimes there's real people behind these things, sometimes not. Hope springs eternal that this'll get to a human's eyeballs.

@ZenHeathen I should put my pens back together (cleaned them before I left on a trip in April) and get scribbling again.

I've more than enough different kinds of paper here that I obtained when I took a trip down the paper rabbit hole, but I do still fondle and run my fingers on the paper of random composition books I pass by in the drug store, grocery store, etc.

@ZenHeathen I realize this is going in a different direction from your request to find more inexpensive options with that kind of paper you like.

I've read that some of the composition notebooks and loose paper made in Vietnam is fountain pen friendly and good value.

No idea if that will meet your needs or if you can find it easily, but if you do it could be a cheap thing to try.

@ZenHeathen Writing boards go in the notebook, under the page you want to write on.

@ZenHeathen Writing boards are a thing too. Some are hard, some are softer.

@ZenHeathen Site says 60 pound text, which is 24 bond I think.

Interesting that writing on copy paper with this notebook paper underneath felt better. Perhaps look into a leather or similar desk writing pad to put under your copy paper to try that out? I have a small pu leather (aka fake leather) one that I use.

The stationery rabbit hole can go a long ways down.

@ZenHeathen

Re little, cover joke etc : Was it a "Tiny Farts Diary" or maybe a Field Notes?

Re paper type : Is it a smooth and not porous feeling? You might want to try some laser printer paper

Curating who I follow is a never ending task. It's fine, just part of what social media should be. Follow as you wish, instead of being force fed slop.
