Behold my husband's latest hyperfixation:
Manual typewriters
Okay, technically the one at the bottom right is an adding machine, but the rest are typewriters. And this isn't even all of them.
The oldest we have is hard to pinpoint, as he hasn't been able to date the ones on the lowest left shelf yet. But so far the oldest are the Underwoods (middle left shelf) which are both from 1928.
He used to collect old bikes (like from the 30s and 40s) and those were space hogs, expensive, and a bitch to work on. These are at least smaller, a lot cheaper, much easier to clean and restore, and are more useful.
My personal favorites are the larger Underwood and the blue Royal right above it on the left.
We're a normalcy deprived family.
Edit:
Oh, he just sent me a breakdown of them:

Vandalism for the good of all
If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love! I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal. So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :) .... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome

hi
Hi back
I need to have a sit down with my tiny OSHA self...
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
This information and the Know Your Rights training pisses off First Felon.
Kindly share WIDELY and let's keep on pissin' this asshole off.
