        holy shit you just made my brain short circuit that seemed so off topic

        but yeah i guess the top of the typewriter as it cuts off in the emoji does look a bit like a caulk gun, lol. that's the platen & return bar

          omg, so hilariously embarrassing now that I know what it is, obviously it's that

          I have been recently organizing hardware and tools but haven't set eyes on a typewriter in at least five years, that's my only excuse.

    Was gonna start Iron Council when I'm mentally stable enough for me to have China Mieville introduce me to a bunch of characters I adore only to slowly torture them to death in front of me

    I read like 25 books last year so I'll cut myself some slack on primarily consuming vidya slop right now
