Hello!

So, my brother got me a typewriter for christmas. He is the hipster of the family, and has had one of his own for quite some time. Now, if you’re me, and have some admittedly hipster-ish tendencies yourself, you think that this is very cool and fun. I was ecstatic to receive a beautiful, functioning typewriter for christmas.

But what to do with it? Well, to start off with, I’ve been using my typewriter to write journal entries. The un-editable, stream-of-consciousness nature of typewriter writing makes it ideal for this purpose, with the bonus that the sheer fun of writing on the typewriter (click clack tip tap! ding! entertainment abounds) motivates me to actually write my journal entries. I’ve also decided to use my typewriter to type up snail mail letters to my siblings who live far away. I already wrote them letters to keep in touch, but lately I have gotten out of the habit. The typewriter will make my letters more aesthetically pleasing, as well as hopefully motivate me to write more regularly (again, it’s very fun). But what else can I do with it?

Well, who would I be if I didn’t immediately make a new tumblr sideblog upon finding a new interest? Not myself, that’s for sure. Introducing @typed-tumbles! (a tumble being anything you do on tumblr.com, of course. I have lovingly referred to being on tumblr as “tumbling” for quite some time now, and you’re not allowed to put the word “tumblr” in your username apparently.)

And what is the purpose of this brand new sideblog? Well, to typewrite tumblr, of course! Do you have a textpost that you just love and adore? A thought you feel needs to be more than just a textpost? A song lyric that haunts you? Immortalize it forever* and bring it into the real, physical world through the medium of typewriter! Send me the words you want typed, and I will type them up, maybe add a little border, doodle, or sticker, and then post a picture here on tumblr.com! DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right not to accept any post for any reason. It’s my blog and I’m just having fun here. The main reasons I can think of that would cause me to not accept a post are if it contains sexism/racism/homophobia/transphobia/hatred or bigotry of any kind, misinformation, or any stuff like that you know. Don’t be scared to submit a post cause you think I won’t like it or whatever. The worst that could happen is I don’t post it. I mainly just don’t wanna put any nasty stuff on here though. It’s just a fun and silly blog.

Let’s have some fun with typewriters on tumblr.com!

*forever here being however long a piece of paper, or an image on the internet lasts. Which, according to my dad, is forever. So if you trust my dad, then yes, forever.
