also i got a few of these imported from japan and they're honestly not as good as the .7mm. for whatever reason the 1.0 hard starts

i put a drop on the threads of my sharbo x lt3 since the barrel was unscrewing when i would twist counter clockwise for a different refill, but now i can't even unscrew the barrel

whoever said this threadlocker was low strength was lying

i think all ceos that have to lay off more than 20% of their staff should be publicly humiliated then executed

i was reading this quote and thinking to myself how fucking dense and naive are you. people need money to live, it’s hard to be an artist when you’re starving and there are companies that are already trying to replace any creative work humans do already

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

tech ceos are chasing their stock price and treating their employees like disposable pawns. we’ve had it too good for too long and if we have any hope at maintaining the status quo workers need to push back against their owners

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

i feel increasingly that the tech industry needs to unionize now that companies are cutting half their staff and citing ai as a major reason for it

highly recommend checking out mountainofink.com and the "ink by color" pages on the right side of the website. lots of ink swatches to ogle

honestly my top 5 pens are probably 1. uniball vision, either 1.0mm or .38mm 2. uniball zento body w/ uniball one .7mm refill 3. zebra sharbo x lt3 w/ zebra 4c refills and uni .3mm b lead 4. hmm aluminum ballpoint w/ parker .7mm gel refill 5. kaweco liliput stainless steel fountain pen

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

even though i have 4 zebra sharbos i still have a soft spot for uniball visions

i dunno why the tiny drafting erasers are still around in 2025 when we can have twist erasers or ones like this

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

don't think i mentioned it yet either but i 3d printed an eraser adapter for my zebra sharbo. right now it's using a rite in the rain eraser #stationery

the metal index tabs are actually very nice and i've also come to the conclusion that zebra 4c refills are the best d1 ballpoint refills. they work consistently every time with no start up, almost every other ballpoint refill i've tried needs some scribbling to get going.

it’s so easy to poorly justify text that i think most people should just never attempt it unless they’re a designer who knows what they’re doing

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

i know technically you can do this on the web but practically no one ever does and for good reason

100

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

i’ve been on the internet too long that i can’t enjoy looking at hyphenated and justified text. ESPECIALLY when it’s done poorly

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

i just want to live a mediocre life where i get by doing what i know best. i don't want to sell my soul making the world worse just so a corporation can increase their bottom line in a world full of inequality

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

you are in constant competition with other people and if you aren't doing more than them then its a personal failure. you must lie, cheat, and manipulate other people to get whatever scraps are left

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

i feel increasingly like much of the culture in the us is about putting other people down to get ahead in life

found out zebra sells a 1.0mm version of their d1 ballpoint refills but for some reason they're hard to come by in america

kinda grim how capitalism is slowly killing all the free over the air stuff

imagine telling kids that music and tv streaming used to be free you just had to connect an antenna and turn on your tv/radio

i mean i know why they do it, there's enough people that just completely bullshit and lie their way through interviews that they need some way to weed people out, but man it feels awful having to jump through so many hoops

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

one company told me they want me to do a portfolio presentation with 2-3 case studies for the design manager, then do a team interview a couple people, and then a fucking exercise on top like how can you not make up your mind by then

110

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

i also hate that companies are getting away with significantly underpaying, one was willing to offer a max of 83k when i'm looking at senior roles starting at like 120k

010

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

like one company i'm "interviewing" with the hiring manager has been too busy to progress the hiring process for the last month and she doesn't even know if she wants to hire a designer with a specialization in design systems or not

110

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

it's kind of funny that companies will have a lot of requirements for their candidate and have like multiple interview steps but in the first interview tell you they aren't really sure what level they're hiring for or even what all the steps they want to go through

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

there's such a large archive of work from the 2010s that needs to be preserved, so much of how design has evolved in the last decade has been documented there

ampersand @0x0026.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

imagine the day dribbble dies an entire generation of design work is lost media
