keen eyed viewers will notice i'm not using a broad nib to do that lettering and am instead using a flexible nib in a way that's both bad for the nib and unnecessarily laborious. that's cause it's what i have on hand and perfectionism is The Single thing that stops me from creating as much as i want

dialect snack for my linguists, the linguist-adjacent, + the linguistics-curious: if something is on the floor, it is "in the floor" for me and my mom's side of the family. "a bunch of dirty laundry in the floor" "why are you layin' in the floor?" etc etc
