lucius you can never go wrong with an A5!! perfect for portability without compromising your notes’ structure or handwriting size

It looks beautiful!!!! it took me a lot of practice to get my cursive looking the way I wanted like to an obsessive level I think it can be learned. I always forget in the middle of writing how many loops I’ve already written though LOL

aubergina i THINK I may have referenced some old book about how to improve your penmanship but I would literally just rewrite the same thing over and over and over again every time I wrote something like a school assignment and just fill countless pages practicing because I’m a psycho!!!

when iā€˜m not writing slow and intentional (ie note-taking, journaling) i write as a mix of cursive and print. also when i write fast i do a lot of shortened versions of things - i.e. int’l, ex., +, and so on. also! i cannot write in a straight line on a blank surface + my handwriting is huge (this is not a college-ruled notebook lol) so i have a hard time filling out forms no matter what i try lol for a while i tried making my letters and numbers fancy but i gave up lol. my capital Ms are nice though and i loooove a cursive capital J, Z, or L… those have got to be my favorite letters in cursive. lowercase f is also great i can’t believe they aren’t teaching kids cursive anymore!!

i’m not sure what area you’re studying/working on, and which is the basis of your essay - also, as a newbie who isn’t well-versed on the culture here - i guess i’ll just say some random misc thoughts about my experience so far!
there is something about this interface, i.e. the fonts, the emojis, the formatting, the colours, etc, that’s all so incredibly nostalgic of early tech. it looks like an elevated version of the bare websites they had us build with html/css in ict class. it also feels like a more text- and community-based tumblr, another platform that i found a lot of comfort and joy being on. i don’t have the introspection or technical knowledge to pinpoint what exactly it is about PI, and similar platforms (like tumblr) that makes them safe and comforting/less stressful to use compared to others, so i’d be interested in seeing whether this is something your essay will touch on, or define!
maybe it’s because it’s still new and with a smaller user base than Big SMā„¢ļø sites, but the culture here doesn’t seem to care about how many followers you have, or in getting the highest amount of engagement on everything you post! itā€˜s an even playing field where everyone iā€˜ve seen is just enthusiastic, helpful and thoughtful in their recs or general comments. a small detail, but i also like that specific ā€œlikeā€œ numbers aren’t displayed - it (maybe unintentionally?) removes a lot of subliminal pressure to up that figure!
PI is a happy, unencumbered space that makes you feel like a (pre-)teen exploring early tech and social platforms again, except instead of it being a collection of people u know irl, it’s basically a bunch of friends from all over. and that’s something that’s been sorely missed, or perhaps even erased, from the cultures of other social media sites. there’s so much individualism and criticism there, and when you don’t receive engagement, you’re basically talking to yourself bc the algorithm won’t pick up your posts & have them show up for other people.
there’s always something so special and personal when social sites such as this are in their early days, when the people participating are still genuine in their pursuit on them. the people gravitating towards being here are probably looking for the same thing as well, so i hope for nothing more than for it to stay like this.
