I'm attempting a comeback of sorts, attempting to use this account as a way to document and create accountability. I do notice I'm quite resistant to the visual nature of most studyblr and studyblr adjacent content. Of course this isn't necessary, but it is the general way such content presents itself. As is usual, I'm attempting to find my own balance within existence. Currently I'm working through the entirety of 'The Rising Sea: Foundations of Algebraic Geometry'. I hope to get around part IV done this summer and finish the book before the end of the calendar year. It's going alright. Beside that I have a small note I'd like to write up about a theorem and I'm playing around a little with skew braces. So much mathematics and so little time.

Why do you use fountain pens? Isn't it inconvenient to do maths with fountain pens?

I prefer the writing experience of fountain pens. It isn't particularly inconvenient and whatever slight friction they do introduce I consider worth it.

In particular I have very flexible joints so the complete lack of pressure required to get a steady line out of a fountain pen is something I value highly.

spent a lot of times with schemes and have finally made the trek back to stacks, which was the initial goal (the initial goal was to go into operations research but then i had a very nice teacher)
